The Premier League RIP

[Darth Marty]

wouldn't it be great to get rid of the transfer fee or atleast have a fee for players moving up a division only.

I was still youngish when we got sponsored, wonder if there was an internet then if it would of been though of similar.

For me the worse thing for footy has been sky

Definitely been a double edged sword. The thing is once we set out on this route there is no going back. So that leaves us stuck in this financial hellhole with sky and trillionaires running the show.

I dunno.....

Its so disheartening seeing all the money and even the players acting the big i am

you can't blame any of them, they're trained to act like tools, just like police and forces, take any young lad and train them to act in a certain way and you get exactly what you asked for

Feeling very depressed about football at the minute. It's no longer the game I fell in love with in the early 80s.

My love for LFC will never die but I feel my love for top-flight football is dying a slow and painful death. I'm not sure how these two mindsets can survive alongside one and other.

I desperately want Dubai to take over LFC but even if it happens and we win the league under them, although of course I would at first be joyous, I have a feeling it may be a rather empty, hollow joy. It's depressing. As 'RoadEnd' says above, where's the satisfaction and the glory in winning the title if you're multi-billionaires? Or trillionaires...

Spot on mate.

I posted more or less the same about a year ago, and now feel even sicker at the state of premier league football. I will always feel passionate about Liverpool but know it's now just a fiction, a rich man's construct. I am far more interested in what's happening down in lower leagues where the football's real, and have enjoyed following the fortunes of Bournemouth (girlfriend's dads team), Macclesfield (friend at work's team), Salisbury and Weymouth (places we regularly visit). And AFC Liverpool

Good to see you!

AFC Liverpool will do well with new fans because of this ****ing disaster that we call Liverpool F.C.

P.S - WHERES MY ****ING CERTIFICATE?!

Don't worry I don't have mine either!

Good to see you!

Howdy matey! Isn't Doctor Who crap?

I know you're not talking to me but yes...yes it is.

[scully]

I know you're not talking to me but yes...yes it is.

I am glad you agree. It really is well rubbish.

[Rich]

You two will be in considerable trouble you do know that don't you?

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....

That's what I've been thinking.
Years ago Italy had all the money, breaking transfer records. Next it was Spain, now it's England.
It won't last forever. I guess it's a matter of being bought and spending like crazy, or riding it out.

in all honesty - i'd despair when a swanky, cocky, loud mouthed billionaire took over to sign each and every so called big name player and then sack the gaffer at the drop of a hat if doesn't meet his unrealistic expectations. not for me, no way. i'd rather see the team fight it out for a cl place than watch a plastic team win a plastic league.
i just reckon it wouldn't feel right if we did a chelsea or city...

Says the mad man who just posted the drivel that is the 'DWW' thread.
