I am pretty much the same these days, although to be fair with the time difference I am at work when these games are played so I can't watch them anyway. I still follow the results and still want the English teams to do well, but I am really not that bothered!! I do watch a lot of the premier league games as I can get them on tv over here but other leagues have never interested me!!
I wonder still how long it will be before there is a genuine push to create a European wide super league?? Maybe the fact that the Prem is currently crawling with money from its own tv rights stops them from pursuing it but I still think we will see some move towards it at some point!!
I doubt it would happen.
The big clubs like the possibility to be there so it can be used as a threat but the big clubs would rather be a big fish in a smaller pool than a small fish in a bigger pool. The crowds would soon drop if they are 18th of 20 with no relegation so nothing to play for.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
