There certainly is a changing of the guard in the PL, Man Utd are in total disarray, Spurs and Arsenal are inconsistent to say the least. My beloved Burnley beat Man Utd 2-0 this past Wednesday, first time we've won at Old Trafford since 1962, oh happy days. We also beat Leicester 2-1 the previous Saturday
At the end of the last century Serie A had a financial meltdown, several clubs went bankrupt including Napoli. It wasn't readily apparent since a golden generation was beginning to mature. The financial backwash finally came in last decade when Italian clubs were forced to sell their stars. At the moment no other league is paying more in transfers and salary than the EPL. That's going to be a big problem if the UK crashes out of The Single Market - EU Domestic Rules may no longer apply. Paul Pogba evoked the Bosman Rule to join Juve, then got sold back for a transfer fee of $117 million plus a salary of $20.8 million a year - that's nuts! By comparison, Christian Eriksen will make $9 million a year, once he clears his medical on Monday, with Inter Milan.
English players are now moving to Serie A, they are not valued in their own country. The British Press complains that France produces more top class players than England, Frenchies invest a portion of the money they get from transfers into their development program....Didn't know where Burnley is, Googled it, near The Lake District - nice.
