You want to see how the EPL could go back to being a shit league in an instant?

Bring back UEFA's 3 foreigners rule and apply it to all European domestic leagues. Voila!
Ya that would fuck the league up pretty bad :D

One of the main reasons the EPL is as good as it is right now, is the huge foreign influence.

so true man. Somehow even tough English invented the game they never (well the had one generation) had a good league. Only in the sixties and in the past 10years due to foreign investors

UEFA doesn't have the power to do that anymore. England, Bayern and Real would revolt.
I agree but that would bring romanticism back to the game and more competition.

and foreign players, not only investors. The English are incapable of producing quality players of their own.

That's because the lack of sun, a very poor diet and gallons of lager have a negative effect on their athletic ability.

They do know how to cut a lawn though.

I'm pretty sure you're being sarcastic but.. :p

The problem has never been their athleticism, on the contrary your typical English player usually isn't short of physical abilities. Their problem is technique and a lack of football intelligence.

Bayern would have the best German talent around. There is plenty to choose from, same with the Spanish. Even the Italian would still build competitive and decent enough teams. England would die.

You can have all the money in the world but your league is soulless and has no identity when you rely on nothing but foreign talent.

Every time someone mentions "EPL" and "English Football" in the same sentence it makes me want to punch a baby, there's no such thing. It's Football played by foreigners in England, not English Football.

It has little to do with UEFA and the clubs.

There's an inner market that needs to be respected.
