    The Premier League RIP

    Well I've read a lot of posts on this forum and I rarely post messages but after the idiocy of the transfer window the premier league is now dead to me. The game, yes a game, has now become a festering sess pit of over inflated egos, money, run by people who wouldn't know what a football looked like. We the supporters who have built these clubs are now fodder, a cash cow that has been bled dry.

    I always knew this would happen the day the words 'Premier League' were uttered, I don't recognise my club anymore, I certainly can't afford to go as much as I used to, and you know why the atmosphere at most games is quiet, well think of the people who can afford to go to games, correct not the working classes any more. Roy Keane spoke of this in his latter days at that club.

    Sorry if I'm banging on a bit here, I've been watching Liverpool Football Club since 1972 and quite frankly it's been emotional to say the least. I'll always back the boys in red to the hilt. Its a shame now that kids can't afford to see their heros in the flesh, I guess we were lucky. But getting back to my first point 'The Premier League' well they can shove it where the sun don't shine quite frankly, and has anybody noticed the standard of football played by some of these so called superstars, deary me I know the game has changed in many ways but a pass to a player is a pass to a player in my book. The more money that pours into the elite clubs the game as a spectacle will die, look at what happened in Italy, we are seeing it now, yep cautious nil nil's lots of defensive midfielders and dire football. Yes because when money is invested so heavily, caution reigns supreme. Talking of cautious does this sound familiar folks.

    Also a lot of people keep on banging on about DIC and loadsa money, na not for me. I think we all need to have bit of a sanity check. I'd like our club to be successful but not at that price, haven't we lost enough of our identity. I don't know what the answers are but throwing money about isn't one of them. I also think it would be a good idea to check out the words of our beloved anthem once in a while, they do make good sense.

    You'll Never Walk Alone my fellow Liverpool supporters.

    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhäuser Gate.
    Liverpool Football Club come back from 3 nil down in Istanbul and win.

    I agree with most of what you say, but the Italians have been playing for 0-0 draws and 1-0 wins since they first kicked a ball.

    I am starting to really hate what football in this country has become. Never mind football clubs losing their identity, losing their dignity is much worse. The whole game is an embarassment.
    Oh I don't know.

        Most fans will gain their interest in football again if/when DIC buy the club and spend multi millions on the club.

          We can all see what's happening to football yet there's **** all we can do.* It's utterly depressing. Some day the money will go, but when it does will football ever be the same again?

          *That said - look at AFC Liverpool....

              your all saying the bubble will burst, only cuz we don't have the money like Man U or Man C... if the bubble does burst and clubs can't afford to buy top Euro players, we will all complain that it was better when we had top euro player in the league not rubbish over rated English players.

                It is utterly depressing because we are on the ouside watching Chavs, Scum and Citeh having all the fun. Once we are inside and able to share the fun, i.e. have billions of pounds behind us, we will love the Premier League. Sad but that is the majority of human nature IMO.

                  wouldnt be surprised to see a salary cap introduced to Leagues around Europe.

                  Its the only way to even up the competition IMO.

                    I can see the following scenario......

                    within 2/3 years at least 10/15 clubs will have a super owner, one where money is no object and the club is nothing more than a cock waving exercise for them. BUT there are only 4 trophies a season to have and if they cant become succesful they will **** off and leave the clubs in a real state. the Arabs wont stick around with City if they are not succesful, it will tarnish there image.

                    I think within 5 years we will see a BIG club go bust.

                        I fail to see how throwing more money around can possibly make it better when money is the very thing that is destroying the game.

                          I just said that in the 'Uh-Oh' thread that a wage cap would just lead to increased transfer / and signing on fees.
                          Oh I don't know.

                            thats the problem. So many different little parts to take into consideration.

                            It wouldnt be easy to organise, but it would make things fair, and take the money out of the game

                              Then the only way forward is too cap the lot......but it will never happen.
