Dont watch NFL but Aston Villa only just avoided relegation last season. wouldnt want to be handed a load of players just cos we arent very good. Where iz the achievement in that?

i see what you mean


like you shouldnt be rewarded for bein bad


but how could a team ever improve if their players are all inferior to other clubs?? its no fun if your best players just always get poached by teams with more money which seems like thats kinda how soccer works. thats how baseball works and it sucks for competition


you look at nfl where every team has a chance every year. just literally maybe 2 years ago the west coast was a shathole for football and now the west coast is the best football in the country (san fran, seattle). football is really americas game and i think this is why, cause all fans can have hope.

Quite easily by having a better manager and buying better in the transfer market. It's not like the team in question here Aston Villa haven't got the money to get some better players. They're a big club that doesn't like to spend in the transfer market.

This was the point I was aiming at earlier, the draft concept in US sports is quite alien to us and goes against the historical context of team sports here, which are built around a greater tradition of historical success. Whereas to Americans it's quite the norm to use a draft system to potentially improve their team, so as they say it's horses for courses.

Where is the achievement in just being mister money banks and just buying up a good squad?

There isnt any, which is why i hate clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City, But there are only about 10 teams who are bankrolled by sugar daddies across europe and they are two of them. To put that into perspective england has about 700 football clubs.
