Yeah I get all that...my gripe is with the fans crying today yet they spent years enjoying the bigger, richer teams with foreign owners steamrolling your beloved premier league...it was fine then because it was quite invisible and it meant a few of the pantomime villains in the league couldn’t reach the heights they probably would have without these very men pumping their billions.
Now these same people want a share of another big pie whilst steamrolling over every club in England and what football means to them...therefore it’s impact is hitting your clubs so now you’re all bothered and up in arms.
They were leaching then and now they want to leach some more...you accepted it then probably cheering on Chelsea as they went into battle with the more organic club in Spurs and now you have a problem.
You should have displayed your disgust then and maybe it might have sunk in by now to these foreign owners that we don’t like this kind of **** in England. However what you showed them was that so long as you can attract the pazzaz, the big names...you’ll all come around eventually.
you guise should not have accepted them when they decided to use the PL as their platform..them monsters are too big now, they want a bigger platform.
Your fault aswell
I do agree with a lot of this, as I've more or less said in some earlier posts. There has always existed a great divide between the top tier being the premier league and the rest ie lower leagues, this has existed since 1992 when SKY came on the scene.
It did dwindle down a bit to the Championship, and this happened through the natural processes of relegation from the Prem and promotion from the Championship over the next three decades, with clubs bouncing too and fro between those two divisions.
It even started to affect League One (third tier) as clubs were given parachute payments, with also the massive supporting base they had, it placed clubs like Hull and Sunderland at an advantage over the rest - with the likes of Wolves, Sheffield United and Leeds before them.
Covid was a big eye opener for many, in what was happening in the lower leagues, but it was all a little too late, as clubs like Bury went under.
Although I've agreed with a lot of what Gary Neville has said over the last few days, I would like to remind him of one thing....
How did Salford ever become a league club?....we know the answer to that, him (Gary) and his mates chucked money at it. He even sacked managers, that performed well, but didn't get instant promotion. So it's ok for Gary Neville to create his little empire of elitism but not others!
