HarvSFC Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 The Championship was shite between 2007-2009 too. (Barring the final day match against Sheffield United in 2008). The Championship is probably shite for Leeds fans too, after losing to us they also lost Gray, Kamara, Summerville and Rutter, replacing them with the likes of Joe Rothwell and Jayden Bogle. Another of the middling Championship clubs are probably looking at next season already too. The parachute clubs coming down once again and then the bankrolled Wrexham and Birmingham going up, most likely. The Premier League's shite because we've been mismanaged for years now. If we could sort that out, we could be competitive again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even leaving aside Saints results this season, most games are dull as dishwater. Villa Utd was awful and most teams outside the top 4 or 5 are set up to simply avoid defeat. Take Forest against Chelsea today. The games are not as entertaining as the Championship and the Championship is such a competitive league that games are far more entertaining. Not going to miss the Premiership at all next season after our inevitable relegation. Completely agree with all of this. I’ve said the same to so many people now and they retort with “it’s cos Saints are shit”. No it isn’t. It’s the same narrative every season. The same top six, the same Man United underperforming (apparently, I’d argue they’re a mid table ability team now, the same Chelsea and Man City overspending, the same Arsenal so near yet so far. It is unbelievably dull. I’ve done a complete u-turn on the super league. Let them go, let them have it. The only problem is the TV money would be redirected to the super league than the Premier League if that were to happen.

It's the same as the Premier League; we could do really well and finish 6th again, that would be great for us as a club. But the PL as a brand, and as a product and as a whole would still be shite. The 2 things aren't the same, and I still maintain that the championship (and the EFL) is much more entertaining and enjoyable than the PL. Speaking as a football fan, not as a Saints fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I've said this for years. Unless you're a top 6 team then it's pointless. The other teams are only there to make the numbers up. Occasionally, you'll get a team like Villa or Newcastle have a few good seasons but you're never going to see the likes of Saints, Forest, WHU, etc. regularly finishing in the top 6. The Championship has 2 massive problems. 1. If you do well you end up promoted into the Prem. 2. The playoffs - What's the point in promoting a team that finished 4th, 5th or 6th, (clearly well off the pace) into a league above? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFP is sh1te now as it prevents challenges to the top 6 because it has come into place whilst there is such a chasm between us and them. It maintains the status quo. FFP would work without the top 6 as all teams would be starting from a similar financial position, and it would prevent rich owners from coming to any team and creating an imbalance that we currently see. I really can't see why the Premier League is so marketable, given how imbalanced it currently is. City have won 6 out of the last 7 titles (runners up in the only one they missed out on). In the last 32 years, only Blackburn and Leicester have won it, outside of the top 6. I suppose that whilst the Asian masses are loving it, it will trundle on. Personally, I can't wait until it implodes.

I certainly don't want Jocks in the English Leagues, it's bad enough having the Taffs crossing the border to tell us how much they hate us. Both Rangers and Celtic are massive clubs held back by their league, I'd say they'd soon be right up top with a level playing field and in a weakened PL. Then likely fook off too to that new Global Mega League once the opportunity arrived. They've got massive global support/appeal so ideal for the TV markets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheshireSaint Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 11 hours ago, Whitey Grandad said: The money doesn’t come from the UK. The Premier League has become what it is because of the fare eastern monies. I know. Hence my comment 'I suppose that whilst the Asian masses are loving it, it will trundle on.' The sooner a Super League happens the better. Yes, it will reduce money significantly, but it would be across the board. That way, money from gate receipts would increase as a percentage overall with the clubs outside of the top 6 being more or less on par in terms of capacity (30 - 40k with the odd exception) and with equal TV coverage of all competing teams, there should be more likelihood of parity across sponsorship deals too. Imagine a league where all 20 teams could aspire certainly for the top third of the table or maybe even the title. Imagine a league where once left, there was no going back to so if the Super League floundered for whatever reason, tough. You could have all the money in the world but no one to play. Effectively, a massive concert venue. One can dream. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in the Premier League you do have a small chance of winning the FA Cup or League Cup. Outside it that chance vanishes - the last team outside the top division to win either was Sheffield Wednesday in 1991. We ourselves have shown that teams outside the top six can reach finals and in recent years we have seen the FA Cup won by Leicester, Wigan and Portsmouth. The League Cup has been won by Swansea, Birmingham, Middlesbrough, Blackburn, Leicester and even Spurs. That small chance of winning a trophy is why I want to cling on to the top division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Bates Statue Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 1 hour ago, Kenilworthy said: That small chance of winning a trophy is why I want to cling on to the top division. Exactly. Performance in the league is basically unofficial seeding for cup competitions. Forget about winning cups if you're in a lower division or hoping to avoid relegation, but once you break the top 10 and you don't slip up before the quarter finals, then you have a chance of doing something that will be remembered for generations. It's no coincidence that both cup finals in the last 25 years came when we finished in the top 10 and I still think of how big those missed opportunities were when we failed to reach even a semi-final under Pochettino or Koeman. It's been a long time since I felt we could beat anyone on our day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I very much agree that this season has been a pretty miserable affair and there are many things regarding the Premier League that depress the hell out me ...huge gulf in club finances , random kick off times , the endless hype and coverage etc... But let's not forget the so called halcyon days of the late 70s through to the 90s, where games were played in half empty stadiums, barbed wire fences and teams that often played a rather agricultural style of football if you revisit the games on You Tube. Liverpool completely dominated from the mid 70s. Champions 75-76, 76-77, 78-79, 79-80, 81-82, 82-83, 83-84 ( We came 2nd ..Average Dell crowd that season was 18,000. Capacity 24,000. £3 Adult ticket. 85-86, 87-88, 89, 90. .. Then Man Utd's virtual complete dominance of the 90s and early 00s. We're all moaning because we are crap this season and the club, players and manager have so far proven that they're not upto the task. ..nostalgia then kicks in. I'm sure Brentford and Brighton etc aren't moaning.....yet! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
