Happinesstan Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 8 minutes ago, oldtype said: Won't deny that I used to be a good deal more obsessed than others but even for the relatively "casual" section of international fans the history is a huge draw. People want to be able to talk about legends, and rivalries, and famous games and all of that loses a good deal of meaning when everyone is starting from nothing in a Super League. I think even people who say that they like the idea now will have a change of heart once they see the actual product. That history will still exist. Just like the history before the PL still exists [if rarely mentioned]. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernts. Not much they can do though surely, if FIFA says they are banned from selection then they won't get picked. The risk would be disqualification for their own country I would think.

There will never be another Merseyside derby. Or at least not a meaningful one, given that the Premier League will become a glorified reserves competition. Rooney scoring the hat trick to win Man United the title against West Ham loses a bunch of meaning when people probably won't even remember what West Ham is in five years time. It doesn't feel like it now, but these things matter in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag_in_NZ Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 This is nothing more than a money grab from the owners, nowt to do with clubs or fans (in the true sense)......games will be played around the world and to full stadiums (of customers), until the product becomes stale which it will. The aim will be to sell the TV to Asia, India, America, etc.......the theft of our game is upon us Can see it now, in a few years a young lad in Liverpool....."what's that Dad?.....oh that's Anfield son, a club called Liverpool used to play there" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
