Some of the [foreign] Premier League Club owners want to make the top tier a closed shop with NO RELEGATION. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/15336398.stm How far into the trough do these greedy pigs want to stick their disgusting snouts? No No NO. This must NEVER HAPPEN!
Perhaps they could give it a try just for one seson, with no automatic or play offs for promotion from the Championship this season! No of course it should not happen, it would be the ruin of footy as we know it.
Even if the required number of clubs 14 ,I think, voted in favour of the change, the FA would in my view use its 'golden vote' to veto the whole idea.
It isn't so surprising really. The Premier League was set up based on greed (and I'm talking about the Sky deal and Alan Sugar's sky dishes). There are also articles from the Arsenal Chairman and Arsene Wenger accusing half his team of being nothing other than football mercenaries (Jimmy Hill has a lot to answer for). I even see fans talking about, and accepting, that Football is no longer sport and demanding their 'entertainment'. With this proposal I see nothing other than the eventual and slow painful death of the beautiful game.
Fans nationwide need to unite and set up a protest group to counter this proposal. Get Downing St involved if necessary.
Sooty is a passive activist...and doesn't really have much to say for himself. Sweep on the other hand...rebel rouser. There'll be bods flying...
Not an issue that's actually going to bother p*mpey for the next 30 years or so, I wouldn't have thought. Anyway, f**k the premiership, it's a completely uncompetitive joke of a league, and an example of what happens when sport prostitutes itself.
Your right Archers, Pompey fans will still be able to watch Premier League games on the TV, like they have done for nearly all its existence.
At least we haven't descended to the level of rugby union/league yet. Play all season, in a league, then decide who is the champion, after a series of play off matches. Farcical and soley done, to screw more money out of the pockets of rugger lovers.
Very True pm, I went to watch Leicester v Gloucester final at Twickers a few seasons ago, my mates were leicester fans and we shared great banter and laughter with Gloucester fans before, during and after the game, which i found as a football follower fantastic. It seemed the fact that Gloucester had wiped the floor all season and finished up-teen points clear meant very little as they lost quite heavily to the team finishing 3rd. Maybe the fact that they allow players to play internationals during the season and the club game still goes ahead maybe justifies the reason they do it ? But all i can say is after such a season, rugby fans are pure class. Shame football fans will never take note.
