Premier League football has become a joke with the same sugar daddy owned teams winning each year with the exception of Leicester. Why watch a product where you already know the outcome ? They may have a bad season on occasion but Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd can simply outspend their competitors to get back up the ladder.
The big clubs have become greedy in stockpiling players so inequality within and between the leagues grow wider whilst the TV money has meant wages and transfer fees have spiralled out of proportion. A US-style salary cap is long overdue but the corrupt governing bodies are only interested in lining their own pockets.
Football as a whole has become too corporatised and gentrified. In England, the sport continues to lose touch with its working class roots and its reflected in the worsening atmosphere at grounds. Its sickening seeing the hordes of tourists and even local fans at Anfield more interested in taking selfies and recorded YNWA on their phones than singing. You hardly see any local players either so that connection between players and their city is lost and the inter-city rivalries lack authentic homegrown heroes.
Contrary to the Premier League propaganda, football wasn't invented in 1992. At least in the old First Division and the early years of the Premier League - there was genuine competition. A team like Nottingham Forest could spring from the Second Division and win the league. In the 1990s and early 2000s - before every season you had 5-6 clubs like Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds and Chelsea who could all be considered title contenders.
Now here we are in October and already it appears to be a two horse race.
