I think once you get passed the point of thinking we are going to win stuff in the here and now and realise this is for the future it becomes easier to watch and observe
Totally agree, we can't even offer the biggest salaries any more either, what Saudi offer makes PL wages look like peanuts, throw in shit weather, no summer break mid season and a 1 horse league races the premier league looks less desirable.
The only reason they say the premier league is the best league in the world is because it's one of the most competitive leagues in the world, that's it imo in terms of talent it isn't the best league, and if been the best league is down to competitiveness only then these same people can't argue that the championship isn't as well then.
The level is shit compared to the PL in terms on teams and money spent, but to say a player from the championship can't do well in the PL but one from ligue 1 would kill it here is a ridiculous statement to make. People are quick to forget this championship level player ran absolute rings around us last season when we played them.
You wouldn't do, I imagine alot of the fans from other countries have absolutely no idea how brutal and hard the championship is, I'd go as far as to say it's a better league then ligue one, serie A and the bundesliga and bar real Madrid and Barcelona it's a much better watch than la liga as well.
