It does seem a bit Draconian, to me... The TV money makes established clubs filthy rich which demands that new entrants to the PL spend spend spend in order to just fight for a spot above the relegation zone... QPR were damned if they do, damned if they don't

 

TKO, what's that code??

 

I saw a glimpse of it when BBCAmerica (a complete pile of shit now) actually showed UK comedies. I thought it was set in Belliricay, Essex but shot in Wales? I know they took a trip to Wales once and the douche learned the Welsh language so he could talk to people. They got there and no one knew Welsh.

BTW, this is where I went in Wales:

The REAL reason why Scotland is breaking away from the UK

:giggle:



There should be a separate group that mandates they will vote to stay, but only if Wales is kicked out.

 

those were the days

 

Loved that show

 

Gooooaaaalllllazzzzzzoooooo

It was like watching a different game.

 

believe it or not, yeah... From watching some matches on youtube... he did the "Football Italia" show

 

The AC Milan club with Baresi & co at the back and the big three Dutchmen played some exquisite football... Ruud Gullitt was an animal

 

Serie A will rise again, I have no doubt

 

I think it's just a lull, personally... happens sometimes... There's no way we've heard the last of Serie A

 

Yeah, amazing group of players ... Feel sorry for Van Basten, career over in his prime

 

Same. They have fallen behind the elite but it's not like they getting knocked around with ease.

 

exactly and it's still the sport of Italy, still played all over the place... The things that really hammered Serie A were the big scandal and the fact that they have many clubs playing in large, dilapidated stadiums that they don't actually own... It's no coincidence that Juventus, hit hardest by the scandal is basically the best European representative Serie has... why them and not Milan or Inter? Stadium... Brand new and they own it... creates a huge revenue advantage for them

 

I dunno. TV money from around the world is becoming more and more important and nobody wants to watch their stink.

 

How come Italian teams dont own their stadiums? I've never heard that before.

 

Civic facilities, a lot of them... furthermore, they are shared in a lot of places... Lazio/Roma... Milan/Inter, etc.

 

I don't think that matters at all, frankly

Winning is enough for the vast majority of people

 

It was only 8 years ago they won the WC... Any little kid then is a teenager now, I think it remains to be seen

 

I'm not sure. The premiership seems to keep growing globally even though its fallen off the pace quality wise.

 

Italy will always produce quality players and the league will rise again
