The failure of a vote on multi-club loans and the absence of an agreement to redistribute wealth to lower-league clubs point to a lack of consensus regarding the future of the top flight
I don’t know what I would’ve said back then, because I’m not 50 years old. What I can tell you is that the EFL asks for handouts constantly and gets pet journalists to write articles about how it’s so evil that the PL doesn’t want to give them more money. When they do get more money, they constantly come back and ask for more.
The point you’re missing is that attitudes like yours would have been terrible for Chelsea in the past. English football is built on the football pyramid. Man United, Man City, Chelsea etc have been relegated within the last 50 years. When Man United were winning their treble, City were two divisions below. The pyramid matters no matter what short sighted selfish clubs and fans think.
