the better question is why do people think serie a will ever get back to where it was under the current conditions? FFP fucked over all the clubs that didnt invest heavily before its introduction. The best serie A clubs can dream of becoming is the arsenals of europe, glorified feeder teams.

Where does Bayern kick our ass in revenue earning? Gate receipts. We're close to our max there, but we could improve our TV revenue and sponsorship if we played in a league people actually want to watch

bayern was always competitive regardless of how garbage their league was, this has nothing to do with leagues.

It helps

 

[GordoDeCentral]

theres also the risk of serie A clubs trying to follow the english model, with clubs having venues a la emirates stadium i would seriously stop watching

You still watch? im thinking of becoming a BPL fan this season

That's what I was thinking. Seeing Celtic getting ass-raped has become one of my favorite football pastimes in recent years.

Looks like Maribor will be the team to do it

I hope Napoli get through the to the group stages at least so they get more money to build on. I always root for all Italian teams in Europe it's the right thing to do.

Hope napoli progresses

The wave of 'italian football is $#@!' is a huge annoyance. Besides, nothing wrong in wanting a rival to do well in europe for the good of the attraction power of the league. And people here always ready to whine that we cant attract the players we want. Who would want to come to a sufferer league.

Narrowmindedness on here.

Yes, and the amount sticking I get from other league fans these days whenever a team in Serie A goes down.

I already become one. I only watch Juventus games these days.

This is my worry as well.

Exactly

Our run was awesome as well.

I'm in a similar position but only because NBC shows all the EPL games on basic cable nowadays. Plus, I feel like other Serie A games really aren't worth watching. CL should be fun tho, love seeing Juve against worthy opponents

 

[Klin]

Yep, watching Serie A is unbearable for me too these days.

Die Bundesliga and Premier League is where I'm partying nowadays.

Only Serie A and Loliga interest me. Others are boring.

Nice try.

True story bro. I fell a sleep few times while watching EPL. Cagliari vs Sassuolo on the other hand spectacular.

Personally I find Serie A and EPL to have some interesting teams to watch even if they arent performing at a high level anymore.

In Serie A there is always a few teams with old players that I like such as Di natali, Toni, Klose, Cassano or our youngsters and loan outs like Giovinco, Berrardi, Gabbiadini etc. Also despite poor form, i like to sometimes watch Milan, Inter, Lazio and parma etc..

In the EPL i dont mind tottenham, everton and the big 4's matches and occasionally Aston Villa.

I hate the bundesliga though... outside the top two, I have no interest in Schalke, wolfsburg or the likes.
Its not rational but I am a fan of the EPL and Serie A and the La liga classicos + Atletico since last year. I cant stand the bundesliga teams or players.
