ReplyDelete1. their players play too many games than necessary during the course of their season
> the FA should just stick to the EPL and the FA cup. on top of that, to include a 'winter break' during their soccer season like what many northern european coutries are doing.
2. too many foreigners in the english teams
> being able to afford it, english teams usually just adopt this quick-fix solution to buy good players from overseas leaving less room for their own local boys to rise through the ranks
3. the point above wouldn't be a problem if there were many english boys plying their trade overseas in the big leagues, but THAT is not the case
> instead they choose to play in the english lower leagues whenever they cannot secure a move in any of the EPL teams
CONCLUSION: by adopting a 'profits at all cost approach' they have shot themselves in the foot... and they will continue doing so.
