It has been mentioned across numerous football sites by famous footballers like Peter Crouch on twitter, how the Premier League lost a golden opportunity to give a fitting heartfelt send off to the recently deceased monarch, prior to matches this weekend.
The way this season is structured, the Champions League / Europa League group stage games have been brought very tightly together. This weekend of Premier League games fell in between the first two rounds of group games. It’s usually the case that the teams involved in those European fixtures, especially if away from home, tend to drop more points during the subsequent weekend Premier League rounds than they otherwise would.
However, you can be sure that the ‘Super League Six’ would only see another round of games immediately post-European fixtures as a potential points drop, that could let other clubs likeand West Ham into European spots in the final table at their expense and are likely to try to influence the Premier League board, in my opinion, to cancel those fixtures too.
In any other field of business or sport, this would be considered as unethical behaviour bordering on illegal advantage, but the Premier League has a long history, such that these things don’t surprise anymore. What did surprise me was that no one else thus far seems to have looked at these obvious facts and chosen to call them out .
While fortunately our own club is highly unlikely to get dragged into such a situation in the near future, if ever, we must raise our voice for those that suffer through no / little fault of their own and stop the gentrified few affect decisions for everyone for their own gains.
Fair and very understandable comment but why on earth did the EFL and National League cancel their matches Furthermore why did every other game further down the pyramid and kids games have to suffer too Haven't we all been through enough disruption in the last few years
I just assumed it was because the FA/Premier League didn’t want scenes of Liverpool supporters chanting about HRH’s passing like they were collectively Cosplaying Gerry Adams.
