The Real Villans

[Peabody]

So here we go again, another failure. We can blame the coaches and players and to an extent, that is right but the reall villans, the ones who are ruining English football are the FA and The Premier League. The FA because they still refuse to take International Football seriously, they still live in the past and think because we invented Football that we are above 'johnny foriegner'. They have set up this Football base in the midlands and coach all the natural talent out of our younsters. Why have'nt we got a player like the German Nos 8? The Premier League are guilty because they put themselves as the games leaders and do everything they can to obstruct International football.

[Scrumpy]

Agree. The Premier League is the 'be all and end all' and the International Team is a poor second.

If the FA Chairman and Board ran a business, they would have been sacked years ago. Our International record is cr@p since 1966.

But how do we get rid of those in charge? Who voted them in and who can vote them out?

The way to get reform is not through a ballot box, but by voting with our pockets. Drastically reduced Sky etc. receipts and plunging attendances would soon set alarm bells ringing in the corridors of power, and end the cash-rich junket that the FA and Prem League have been on for years now.

But we won't. We'll still show up with our hard earned, and the situation will carry on.
