That history will still exist. Just like the history before the PL still exists [if rarely mentioned].

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.

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"

Aye. The pundits will probably never hype another game as long as we live.

The FA could just make sure that the England manager never picks ESL players. They'd have the full support of the country.

Exactly. Same goes for the FIGC And RFEF. Pretty much all of the national team players of all 3 countries play for those clubs.

Here's another example: people in Asia are obsessed with Leeds and their return to the Premiership.

Leeds' fall and time in the lower leagues was such a compelling storyline, the slang term "Leeds" literally got added to the Korean language in the early aughts. It means "bygone days of glory." A bunch of kids use it now with no conception of where it came from. A bunch of people in Korea who've never watched football before know who Alan Smith is because he's the "Leeds guy"

You lose all of these side stories that make the product compelling in a Super League. Add it all up and it matters.

Just seen a video of that slack jawed, adultering, vile cunt of a human being Rio Ferdinand whinging on Facebook about this.

Maybe he should use his own money to pay the Premier League to kick them all out.

Hope he is involved in a house fire very soon. Utter, utter cunt.

He literally said a few months ago that Ashley owns the club so he can do what he wants with it

Don’t know if the Bielsa comments have been posted before but they’re worth a repost anyway:

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa to Sky Sports: "This doesn't surprise me. The most superior teams have managed their superiority through competition. When they no longer need them to win money they discard what they no longer need. This is a very common thing, not only in football. It shouldn't surprise us. 

"The fundamental problem is the rich always aspire to be more rich without considering the consequences for the rest. As they gain more power they start demanding more privilege over the rest. 

"The most powerful are powerful because of what they bring but the rest are dispensable. What makes competition great is the possibility for one of those weak teams to develop, not the big teams playing each other. But the logic of the world at the moment and in football is not outside this - that the powerful become more rich as a consequence of the weak becoming more poor. If this was is what guides the world at the moment why is there such astonishment. This shouldn't surprise us. It was something that was coming."

No you don't. It's just a different landscape for stories to be written.
