I offer a different view to yours Editor… So if for instance Liverpool (already favourites apparently) win the CL this year are we saying Liverpool are “taking advantage” of all the biggest teams in Europe’s top teams being far weaker than before too? City spent £200 in January, PSG bought Kvaratskhelia.
Have you considered that now most of the Premiership teams have proper funding, deep pockets lined by “immediate success spending hierarchy teams” Chelsea, Man U wit little to show yet for eye watering outlay… this contributes to a league that has far greater competition by clubs who have players playing for the badge and not players going through the motion kissing it and taking the wage… Caicedo £115, Enzo £107, Lavia £55, Cucurella £66k … its not a bad season its a hollow investment shell with players that are getting found out by Brighton, Forest etc and hopefully will continue to have poor seasons unless FFP continues the big spenders another chance to buy a squad in a couple of seasons…
I hear a lot of Utd fans contenting themselves with the narrative that Liverpool are benefitting from a one off failure of ALL the competing clubs and this is a unique event compared to all the seasons preceding against teams with smaller squads, devastating injuries and youth team players filling their benches..
I see a different European landscape developing to what has gone before certainly in the EPL …
