Very little of the money generated by the EPL makes it to grass roots football and that is why we have few youngsters coming through who are truly world class (Jack Wilshire) is the only one who come to mind. The Spanish and Germans grasped the nettle over 10 years ago and look at them now. The FA have overseen this terrible situation come to pass. I apologise for this rant in advance, but it saddens me to see this happen.  |
Totally agree.

Agree again. What I would like to see is an "Football/EPL channel" I could then subscribe to Sky Sports and not bother with "Rip-off" EPL. Subs for Sky Sports would be lower, thereby anyone who does not like football could enjoy all the sports that Sky covers at lower cost and those who want to watch Premier League football could subscribe to the "Football channel"..... yeah I know, not likely to happen.
