Reply to comment by BigLan2 in Breaking: Premier League clubs agree new rules that can see owners/directors disqualified for “human rights abuses, based on Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020” by dragon8811

I know a life long Inter fan, like this guy knows football history, knows everything, he's sorta like a ultra, but I was in utter shock when he was begging to be bought by Saudis.

But look at Brighton, or Liverpool (don't spend much) or West Ham last season, Arsenal this season. I shouldn't be saying this even as a Barca fan, but to some extent even Barca with Pedri/Gavi/Araujo. These weren't expensive signings.

I still feel talent can overshadow money. Its just that how modern football is with the schedules and the new rules that you need money.

Schedules need fixing and 3 subs only need to be brought back

And look at west ham this season. You can get lucky with a decent squad, but without billionaires behind a team you won't be there every season, which, since Liverpool in the 70s/80s and Man Utd in the 90s/00s is what fans want. Best case you get your squad together in a year the big clubs are rebuilding and end up pulling a Leicester, though they're now back in a relegation fight.

I don't think being there every season is the point tho. I don't strive for that for my club

It's about good football to me and achieving a better result than last season

For sure, without billionaires teams cannot convert their fortunes in a few years. But it can happen in a span of a decade or something. It definitely can happen. We get suprise winners a lot these days

But the new rules are still a problem. Idk I personally feel if things can be fair for every club. Money won't affect football that much.
