I can't really comment on the subject.(On the IPhone & watched football from 2000 and up) but it's become more or less like a business. Club looking to become brand names in households everywhere, & trying to win on all fronts with money. Also the game become more fast pace with teams trying to emulate the Barca style of playing. In hopes of winning & attracting fans, I feel some teams are losing their idenity, and what makes them, well..... them.
