He represents a party that has literally stolen BILLIONS from the UK public. :dead:

indeed... the hypocrisy ..

money supremacy of the old power clubs - OK

money supremacy++ of the old power clubs - NOT OK

anglo-saxon economies are at their heart unfair to the masses, with the occasional case of someone transcending their origins to release the pressure.

all sections of UK society calling for "opportunity for all" while basking in their class advantage.

like one footballer spoke about, the previously toothless govt+football authorities in the face of racism, suddenly discover they have a bark and a bite in the face of losing power.

i am not a fan of germany but at least they say what they mean and mean what they say. with them it is not always a case of (disguised) "money first"

People forget that Gary Neville is also a part-owner of Salford City. The existence of the ESL not only has a trickle down on the team financially but also shuts the window on his ambition to one day maybe get them promoted to the EPL and have them in the highest level of European football.

I agree with him, I just know how a lot of Arsenal fans are like.

Any fan that took exception to what he said is deluded.

After thinking about it for a while... In the short term this league may be more competitive, but the long term, you're just going to seem some teams wind up becoming bottom dwellers much like the NBA/NFL. I want to see Barcelona vs Man City now. I don't want to see that in the year where Man City is cheeks.

Nah, it's exposing the self-interest of their owners. Arsenal haven't played Champions League in 5 season, they aren't an elite club by any definition. Spurs are a joke.
all jokes aside. Arsenal might be sorry now, but they are an elite club by any definition you can think of. Titles/Fanbase/history.

Tottenham is not but they got a massive fanbase and that's currency. Everton is a bigger club than Tottenham but they don't have the fanbase.
