With what looks like being three English clubs filling the four Champions League semi final slots, is this good for English football as a whole ? Scroll down and click on the circle next to the options...
If we had no teams in the semi everyone would say we are crap in Europe. When we do it's a weak Champions league. Best team do not always win Champions League. Yes from me
although i cheered a couple of man U goals last night, the last thing us and everyone else outside the top 3 or 4, is the top 3 or 4 getting an extra £30-£50m that everyone else every year.
The playing field has been stretched to extreme levels as it is, with every thing in its current format it will only get worse. I'm fed up with the same three or four clubs winning everything, i'm fed up the best a medium size club can achieve is fifth, and i'm fed up that all the little kids are growing up supporting just the top 4 clubs.
[cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]...but would people prefer a draft system similar to American sports?
I think it was Art Modell who call the NFL "a bunch of rich Republicans who vote socialist on football". It's more than a draft, it's also ruthless television equalization, and a salary cap for players. Becoming the same for the NHL. But it means that if you don't like your teams standing, then wait a while and like the weather it will change.
Would that fly in English football?
I voted no because the only time I get to see Charlton on television is if they're playing one of the big four and it's usually a lost cause. And I hate the big four (maybe a bit of a soft spot for Arsenal because they sort of play like Barcelona...except for not scoring)

Could we have a poll to see if he is getting carried away with polls

I don't think that would be accepted even though it works in the US. I also think we are too far down the line in terms of "businesses" now.
