The current set-up exists to keep things exactly as they are. Us down here, and them up there, and that's just the way they like it.

League 1 and 2 players get signed by championship clubs then by Premier league clubs

That's been going on for years

But recently even that source of income is drying up as the big boys sign foreign players on high wages , by passing their own academy's and the English lower leagues

They do that because they are keeping more and more of the cash

Which is a disgrace

But nothing to do with me the TV football lot will never get my money

Well we had them

But are they fair ?

No

100 million to soften the blow of relegation .....only 10 million for promotion from the championship up ?

Naaa

The reality is that the big boys , the elite of the elite .....arsenal , Liverpool, united , spurs etc would take all the money if they could

If there was only United left they would be trying to stab themselves in the back over the last pennies

Didn’t have you down as a xenophobic old bigot.

So, go on, who are these players in the Prem that worked their way up from the lower leagues to championship and then premier league? There must be loads you can name seeing as it’s “often” the case?

Obviously the attempted break away by the big boys passed him by

Stockholm etc
