Chelsea are one but who is the other?
City. Also Barca and Atletico. Talksport saying they're all meeting tonight to disband it. Excellent.
Chelsea are one but who is the other?
True, but at least in this system a team like Spurs can get to a european final. Teams like West Ham and Leicester can quality for the Champions League. A random team like Burton Albion can get bought out by a Lithuanian billionaire and have their day in the sun.There already is. Regardless of how you feel, this is a reality.
The big clubs (inc. Bayern) have won the Champions League since Porto won it in 2003-04.
The vast majority of the clubs promoted to the Premier League are either those that were previously relegated, or those that have spent big. Those smaller clubs that buck the trend tend to fall down the divisions and not get back up - think Swindon, Barnsley, Bolton, Blackpool, etc.
There’s already 3 tiers of professional football clubs, and to be honest, regardless of history, 92 professional football clubs in England, and 40 in Scotland is unsustainable in the long run.
I actually don’t know how I feel about the ESL, as the situation needs to play out - this is only 2 days after the initial announcement.
But the whole position has clearly been building for a long time.
It's unravelling quickly by the sounds of it.
Only took worldwide condemnation and three teams dropping out for those running Barcelona to remember their motto is Més que un club.
