Looks like it will be the "Big 4" at the top again?

True, but less boring than last year, where the top three places were decided by mid-January.

The Premier League is rubbish.

Obviously the ideal structure would be like rugby or say like a league below the premiership but is this actually just a silly dream? Is the reason the top 4 teams are top because of actual money or because they actually have managers a level above the rest?

I mean you got teams outside the big 4 who've had money this season. Whose fault is it the purchases they have made have not been good enough? Case in point, Villa's purchases of Harewood and Knight. Are they really purchases of a team that is going to challenge for those 4 spots? And you got Newcastle who have some good talent but will lose to Reading..

They might have the money to purchase the real top tier players, but they won't be able to attract them to a club that's not playing Champions League football.

Would a Euro Super League solve problems and have a more open league?

retired_matthowells · 10-28-2007, 05:58 PM

No, a Euro Super League would be rubbish, and I can't see there actually being any benefit for any teams involved. Games like Chelsea vs Real Madrid wouldn't be seen as such a big deal if massive games like that were happening all the time, and I doubt I'd be as interested in football as I am now if it were to happen. (Assuming this is what you meant)

I would like to hear what your views of this are though.
