WHY football gets too predictable
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2019
- Football no longer takes place on an even playing field. The rich are getting richer and the not so rich are getting left behind, both financially and on the pitch. The gap between the top teams - such as Barcelona, Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich and Juventus - and the rest has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years. As a result, football is becoming more predictable. Kick off! reporter Thomas Lemmer explains why football needs to change in order to save the game we all know and love.

Another great production. The most underrated sports channel on youtube.
Thanks for the kind words, ZringMalti! Spread the word...
I highly agree with you. Since yesterday i cannot stop watching it
ZringMalti they say Manchester City dominate the premier league but they didn’t mention that we had 97
@@dwkickoff Watching this today... after Watford beat Liverpool 3-0 because they only had 29% possession.
They've made it even worse! With the top 4 teams in England, Spain etc. making the Champions League directly, without having to play qualifiers even if you finish fourth. Ajax were the damn champions and had to play qualifiers
At this point, the name “CHAMPIONS League” makes little sense anymore!
@@jabrown exactly. Very unfortunate
2019-20 Champions League round of 16 has only 5 champions. European football is dead.
It's based on coefficients of the league based on merit .La liga teams (other than barca& real) in european competition have been successful or finished higher for the last decade.While dutch teams have a very poor record in that period.
If we scrap this system a 4th place team in certain league won't get the chance to play although they are better than 1st place team of another league,which i don't think is fair.
If we really want to close the gaps, then bringing limits on salary and transfer spending is the right step.
Mauro Pedrosa that is, not the problem
As a brazilian i have great concerns about this inequality. I see hundreds of players that have absolutely no playtime in Europe and are super dominant on the brazilian league or even on smaller clubs.
The big teams are super stacked and they hide talented players for years. See Real Madrid for example, benching guys like Isco, James, Bale, Jovic, Kaka and many others. They dry the quality of football overall.
A recent example was Gabriel Barbosa. Guy had almost no opportunity at Inter and Benfica for two years, goes back to Brazil on loan and becomes top scorer of the league twice banging a goal per game.
The problem is also due to spending power, brazil is a very corrupt country where the elites pretty much rule it for themselfs and are not really concerned about the state of the country as long as they are safe and rich.
for example on another video it was mentioned most brazilians can't afford to go to the stadiums, buy merchandise etc., also sponsors pay less because of that, so it's hard to keep talents there.
Brazils gdp per capita in 1998 was 5k USD, in 2018 9k USD, so just +4k USD more in 20 years, in Germany gdp per capita went +21k USD in 20 years, in the UK +16k USD, in Spain +15k USD and in France +16k USD in the last 20 years.
Normally Brazils gdp per capita should have been at 15-25k USD by now but not much is ''normal'' unfortunately.
Why every latino player's aim is to sell them like prostitutes in European market 🤣🤣
Gabigol had his chances at Inter and he was shit
One main reason is that UEFA has made the champions league a closed league where the same big clubs share the money every year.
More and more qualifying rounds make it practically impossible for smaller teams to play in the group stage and get the participation bonus.
A good start would be the direct participation of the champions in the group stage no matter the club or the country ranking.
Equal distribution of TV money and salary caps sound like great ideas.
no it does not...so the prem pulls the most watchers but bundesliga reaps the benefits?...sounds like socialism
@@Arctic-X How would premier League and Bundesliga be related in this case?
@@Arctic-X Other systems have failed with football, so I don't give a fuck what you want to call it if it will improve the game. Also, the PL pulls the most watchers *because* it has more money from more watchers. Equal distribution = noone gets to piggyback off of anyone, because the rules make it so that everyone contributes the same.
@@spidermonkey167 it would be...the big prem teams bring more eyeballs then bundesliga teams..in the CL...so it makes no sense that all teams should get paid the same....does it to you? liverpool and leipzig should get paid the same?
@@spidermonkey167 and even in the league it makes no sense...the big teams have much bigger fanbase..tv companies pay big money because of the big teams in the league sell more...but in the prem everyone makes the same amount..and the rest is in bonuses based on the position you finish so the big teams make more...i think that is fair...the fair play rule is the problem...its only a word and is not enforced......its clear that the FA's are corupt get paid to let mafia teams like city only 200k fine for breaking the rule...while chelsea got a much bigger fine and fransfer block for the same crime as city
As an American who loves football, I can't recommend a salary cap enough. We've had 7 NBA champions, 8 MLS champions, 8 NFL champions the last 10 years.
our Tops clubs already got too much power here, it will be hard to change when 10-20 top clubs who are combined more worth then hundreds of the other pro football clubs lobby against it.
Baseball doesn't have a salary cap, and there are also multiple champions over that time frame. American teams have drafts, that's probably more important than salary caps in explaining why there isn't change in which European soccer teams win.
@@robertridley9279 it would be harder in football because the transfer market is worldwide, unlike american football and other sports in america where most of the transfers are local
If top clubs decide then they will set it high enough that they don't have a problem
For me it's the absolute gamechanger and a wet dream. The problem is ECA, the european club association is not stupid. They protect their investments and don't give a shit about laws or anything. The system is so corrupt.. European football is a war zone. They threaten to kill people. You think sports is about fairness and integrity? Not when money is involved. Let the EU handle it or stop watching. These are the only 2 options.
Football leagues need salary caps ASAP. Even a "soft" cap (like how the NBA does it) would improve the competitiveness of the game immensely.
How can you talk about the problems in football finances and not even mention Arab sugar daddies finding clubs like PSG and Man City? How can you not even mention how PSG signing Neymar completely threw football transfer costs out of whack?
Exactly
They still lost lol
This one didn't aged well
@@rubens1767 How did it not age well? Transfer fee pre- and post-Neymar-transfer are clearly different in magnitude.
Impossible!
You’ll be making very rich, very powerful people poorer, and that never happens because they only ever get richer.
How do we find a way out of this mess then, Isaac?
@@dwkickoffMy idea is to redistribute the promising talents of successful clubs by creating a youth draft.
To my knowledge clubs that play European football must have a set number of homegrown talents to play eurpean football. This causes to clubs to invest in youth and try to hold onto them at all cost, even at the expense of the young talents reaching their full potential. But, what if the youth players had a way of leaving the current club of his own free will.
You have a young player trying to get into the first team, but is frustrated and stuck in the under 23s or sent out on loan. If the player has not made ten first-team appearances by the age of 21 or over he can enter himself into a onetime move in the January transfer window, called the Newyear youth draft.
Every team who don't get relegated or into European football get the chance to sign one youth player, from all the teams playing european football.
All the youth players who want to enter are named at midnight on newyears. Clubs are chosen by a random draw on who gets picked first. Once a team picks a youth player and the player agrees on terms with the club they both are removed from the draft. This will go on for 24 hours until each team has signed a youth player or the 24-hour window closes.
Tiger T wow , this is a great idea, only to reform this, would cost a lot of money to facilitate, and the big clubs would obvioiusly disagree
@@Dadendrangg thanks, glad you like the idea. I know big clubs would hate this idea, but I think it would make modern football more interesting and balanced.
DW Kick off! IMO, football is in a serious financial bubble, somehow (I don’t know how) it’ll pop and prices etc will settle down, probably not to there pre-2010 level but more realistic levels.
Problem is that, if anything is done to curb the top club's power, they'll just split away and form the Super League
Okay! Let's say nothing changes, but BvB, Bayern, Manchester City, PSG, etc. can form their own league of wild spending, and domestic football across the continent will be more balanced... At least, until another tier-2 domestic team(like RB Leipzig or Leicester City) decides to spend a bunch of money on second-tier players and develops a dynasty of their own, and we're back to the same place. Better to implement these changes now, and save domestic football forever, than to let a few billionaire teams continue to own their domestic league every single year.
this is 100% like Formula 1
@Nahush Modi won't happen most football fans will still go and the the fa will go bankrupt
How true you are 👏
And the Super League lasted 2 days lmao
I love how you explain everything with an open mind and your ability to incorporate history into your lectures is incredible. SUBSCRIBED!
Fantastic, underrated channel. Salary caps alone will do a lot of good for football.
Salray caps and financial fair play should gives small clubs atlear 200 mill to spend atleast in the prem where the competition is still good but unfair.
Great ideas, except for the play off system. We have it in my country (Belgium) - it does increase excitement, yes, it does lead to more top games having the top 6 compete in a mini-competition (which makes Belgian teams somewhat more competitive internationally) but even now, after ten years of playing play offs, everyone still feels its unfair, including the fans.
Everyone has a valid sense of fairness, but often it is deceitfull, especially if the power of habit comes into play, and distorts the senses (example: Most workers on the planet, like the chinese, earn 1$/day. Imagine yourself tomorrow earning similar... That´s fair, but doesn´t feel fair, cause none of us is used to that degree of fairness). Play-offs are surely fair, but objecting teams to even more games, at the exhausting season´s end, while they also play final games for the european cups or prepare for EC and WC, well, that is unfair and impractical. But the fairness of play-offs to find the best, as well as its impracticability are 2 different topics. I can´t even swallow it myself, but I´ll blame me, and not the play-offs.
If not for the lower teams in the league there would not be a league.
All teams in the league should get equal tv money.
The game will become more competitive and exciting.
Above all more quality players will be produced as the games will all be more challenging for all teams in the leagues.
This channel is pure gold. What a magnificent production, keep up the great work.
Exactly. Revenue sharing and payroll caps are the way to improve competition. US sports proved this years ago.
Excellent video, I got to learn why the sport we love is becoming more and more unequal. I think the change will take some decades to occur, big teams won’t allow to decrease their TV revenue easily. Football is a great business, but we gotta decide what is more important; business or the competitiveness of the sport
Great video. I think you’re right about salary caps, I just don’t have a clue how FIFA would enforce them in all leagues worldwide...
Equal TV money and removal of ridiculous co-efficient rules would be a good start in helping smaller clubs.
If you equally distribute the UCL money, teams such as AEK Athens would obliterate their leagues for years to come
The boring part is at the top end of the pyramid where it's always the same six or seven clubs, but the competition to avoid relegation and to gain promotion is nearly always interesting.
I'm so happy I've found this video. These are exactly my thoughts. I stopped watching soccer/football in 2019 cause it just got way too boring and predictable for me, I also hated how the same big clubs dominate and there is nothing we can do about it. Then I discovered NFL and fell in love with it, it's just such a great idea of having a full ecosystem that the league is, where all teams are equal and all teams have the same chances of winning the Super Bowl. Draft, cap space and free agency make it that every team can win the Super Bowl, even if you were the worst the year before, just look at Tampa Bay Buccaneers- they weren't even in the playoffs in 2019 but after a good draft and successful free agency they were able to win the Super Bowl in 2020. There is nothing like this in European football, maybe except for Leicester, but we'll probably never see such a thing again.
@OtakuNoKitsune well said, Europeans like to say American sports aren't real sports but the NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB are a lot more entertaining, unpredictable and competitive than what football/soccer nowadays is. I don't even watch the Champions League anymore, maybe sometimes when Barcelona is playing but they also got ruined by money. The only soccer games that I truly like are when the nations are playing, Euro 2020 was great and I'm hyped about the World Cup in Qatar but I don't really care for team tournaments anymore.
@OtakuNoKitsune by the way, which teams from the American leagues do you support? I'm mainly a NYC guy cause I support the Yankees, the Knicks and the Rangers, the only exception is that I support the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL
@OtakuNoKitsune I must admit that I thought the Chargers would be a tougher opponent for the Ravens last week, but we'll see each other again in the playoffs and I'm sure it will be a closer match up!
@ANIMANGEMU Imagine watching a full MLB game🤣🤣😭
Wonderful work as always... DW Kickoff
So good full of interesting facts that i actually didn't know before.
What a channel , looking forward to your upcoming content
This channel is very underrated. Football needed channels like this.
This was a good video but several key points were missed.
Unlike in Europe, there is no relegation in America. American leagues are a closed loop system. You can only leave if you go bankrupt. To get in, the league on a whole has to come to a consensus to allow a new team to BUY its way into the league as an expansion team (the Charlotte Hornets in the 80's and LAFC in the MLS). Along with ticket sales and merchandising, all the other corporate sponsored money stays in the league allowing for everyone to have their share of the cake and eat it too. The same can be said about the talent. The quality of a league is based on the talent available, so in the case of an NBA, they will always be the biggest basketball league in the world. They can keep their LeBron's and Kobe's, but also bring in their Zion's through the draft ensuring relevance and freshness.
The draft system also makes sure no one team will win every year, like Bayern, Juve or PSG. Look at the Golden State Warriors for example. Arguably the greatest assembled team in the history of the NBA, only had a run of dominance for about 5 years. Now with KD gone, this summers draft, the blockbuster moves of the off season and free agency signings, there are at least 12 teams that have a legitimate shot at the title.
And a title in the NBA is the only thing there is to win really. You have Division and Conference titles as well as individual accolades but those mean nothing in time. There's way more things to win in Europe. The Premiership for example has the League Title, League Cup, FA Cup and Community Shield. The Top 4 get CL Football and Top 6 get Europa League. Then there's the Cup Winners Cup, Club World Cup, etc. Every team has a chance to win something and its only the exceptionally good teams that are able to stack silverware.
Then there's the point of big clubs domineering the smaller ones because they have more money. I can speak towards the situation in the Prem, because that is not the case. Leicester just shook down United 87mil for Maguire, Mike Ashley THOUGHT he could have gotten 50mil for Sean Longstaff and Palace held out for their 60mil for Wan-Bissaka. Palace again stood tall against 4rsenal demanding some 80+ million for Zaha, successfully keeping him on their books just so he can waste away his prime fighting relegation for them.
The best course of action for UEFA affiliated leagues (imo) is to spread around the money pool for international competitions more equitably so smaller teams stand to benefit. If everyone manages their own private affairs with sponsors and kit deals well, eventually World Football will balance itself out (recover from the madness of the Neymar transfer) making even mundane midtable matches a riveting watch.
Bruder.
Muss.
Los.
Very good points you made there
@@beardedhomie Ikr this was a very well written comment
Mohammed Suliman yeah right how often do you actually see this type of well written, informational and educational comments on RUclips haha
You pointed out the advantages of the american system really well. But don't take BPL as an example for european football, as the whole process is significantly slower in England. BPL has several advantages: 1 lower influence of european competition revenue in relation to the overall tv revenue of the league. 2 Higher number of strong investors who really increase the competition. 3 relatively equal distribution of tv-money.
Bottom line: The situation in the rest of europe's football is much more severe. UEFA has to take stronger actions than just distribute money equally. The salary cap is required to devaluate big money. But as I pointed out in another comment, the whole system is so corrupt and there are sovereign wealth funds involved.
Bottom line: European football has investments to be protected and clubs/countries know how to do it, which is a death sentence.
exactly...this was in my head for so long.love your content
Great Ideas. I honestly think a Salary Cap would open up Competition in a good scale like how it's done in America.
Rewarding all teams with equal pay from TV revenue doesn't make alot of sense because Watford vs Bournemouth doesn't attract the same number of audience compared to man city vs liverpool
But it would if they were able to afford the same quality of players, having the same amount of money, or at least more competitive, which would bring more crowds. Make sense?
Before I start, I need to say your channel is one of the best coming up or trying to come up with new ideas or new ways to envision football and for that I want to say congrats and hope you get more views and subs than you have because you wholeheartedly deserve it.
Play off system: it's a dumb idea. NFL has it because they don't haveany other competition for their teams to participate in. Meanwhile, in today's football you ahve the league, the cup(which is the play off you guys want) and probably a league cup, while you can qualify for Uefa Cup or Champions League. And of course it's unfair to work your ass off being first with a huge lead just to have it shaved and have the same chances as the 4th placed to winning the title after 30something games.
Equal tv cash: Also a shit idea. The big clubs have a bigger cut because they are the ones getting most of the views, they are getting more and better sponsors because people watch their matches. They get a bigger cut because they are the reason the competitions have the popularity they have.
Draft system: as far as I know, every team has or can make youth academies, that way they can make sure they will have future players for which they will have paid little to no transfer money. The US draft system is a flawed one from which only 2 competitions (NBA, NFL and their respective NCAA) benefit. They players that get to be drafted are first chosen by the best colleges(like Dukes, Yale or Columbia) which only offer them a scholarship, they don't get paid for what they put in, they are the ones making the money for the competition.
Salary cap: this is something I could get behind, but with some changes. I'll explain at the end.
Changing rules: only if that rule is obsolete. Banning the dunk because Jabbar was too good at it is like banning free kicks or long shots because Pirlo is too good at it. Why punish a highly skilled player for what they can do but others can? An example of a good rule change would be the offside, now that VAR is implemented. There's no need to waste good minutes using complex algorithms to see if a player is offside by 2cms. Use it only if he's clearly in offside.
What the competitions can do to even the play:
Salary cap after a team reaches a certain treshold. That way you can make sure big clubs won't buy all the good players from the small clubs, rendering them weak.
Harsher financial fair play involving only transfers. Teams need to have a balanced transfer window after they get past a limit on their transfer. For example, if a club pays under 50million to transfer in new players, there should be no sanction, but if he spends over 100m, then they need to balance it by selling players, that way you don't get teams like Bayern buying Lewandowski from Dortmund and don't get teams like PSG or Man City ruining the league.
What teams can do: try to play a better football, make it more exciting, don't just park the bus and hope for a draw. Go all in, the fans are coming to the stadiums to see something, not a shot training exercise. The teams should gear up and try riskier tactics, ones that at least makes something happen on the pitch. Make the game worth watching.
What fans can do: just don't show up at a game, if the game it's not entertaining, why even come to watch it?
A fine little film. Great inserts, editing, and sound. I also agree with your argument.
Great video. This is something I've been worried about for a long time. FFP has only made this worse. The TV money needs to be more balanced, not only in the league, but across the top European leagues. CL payouts should be distributed to balance the competition, not distort it further.
FFP was a great idea in theory… but the UEFA is too corrupt to actualy apply it‘s rules. It let‘s offenders with big pockets like PSG and City slip, whilst small clubs feel the full wrath of FFP when they send in their paperwork an hour too late.
The entrie system is rotten to the core and we need the EU lawmakers to step in and fix it. If clubs want to be running like huge companies, they should also be regulated like those… which means not by a corrupt private organization with huge conflicts of interest
Great documentary. You've just earned yourself a new subscriber.
Here in Mexico we have "la liguilla" which is basically a play-off with the top 8 teams of the league, and if anything, it makes the tournament more fun. My idea for Europe would be to eliminate the national Cup that nobody cares about (like the carabao Cup in England) and use a system similar to the one in Mexico were the top 8 teams go to the play-offs, but unlike the LigaMX the 1st place still wins a title like in the NFL were the winner of each confederation gets a trophy, that way you also recognise the effort of being consistent all season. And idk maybe separate the money you currently give to the champion in 2 and give one half to the 1st place of the league and give the other part to the winner of the play-offs.
Yeah tbf I'm English and the carabao Cup is like the fa cup ordered from wish
When football become a pay to win game
if the top 5 leauges would introduce the 50+1 rule and fans would have more influence on their team like in the Bundesliga, maybe the football will be saved but idk...
True. But it won't happen.
Obviously，it won't happen.
But the football in Bundesliga isn't saved even with that rule existing.
Bayern is dominating German football for years, what's the point of that 50+1 rule?
@@RACM27MD FC Bayern got that way by actually being properly managed.
50+1 muss einfach bleiben
Possibly the most german sounding German I've ever heard. Great vid!
@Dmitry Zaripov clown
@Dmitry Zaripov das war nicht rassistisch/ that wasn't racist ffs
@Dmitry Zaripov you don't even know what racism is, do you?
I as a fan of England and Austria, will look at Austrian🇦🇹 Bundesliga teams who were good in 50s, 70s and 90s have seen the decline, only Red Bull Salzburg have performed well, and in the past clubs such as Rapid Vienna, Austria Vienna, SK Sturm Graz, SV Austria Salzburg, Grazer AK, Tirol Innsbruck have beaten top teams and done well in European Cups. Unfortunately, top European Leagues don't care about Austrian Bundesliga ( like me, who is lover of anything Austrian). UEFA will not want follow USA approach, to ,much influence from big tems like Barcelona,Real Madrid, Juventus, PSG and co. I might as well watch the glory days of the 🇦🇹 Bundesliga Herbert Prohaska, Hans Krankl, Toni Polster,Andreas Herzog, Walter Sachchner, Kurt Welzel and co were stars.
This channel has great potential. Subscribed
Same
I love your channel, you talk about different topics
Big ups for an incredible production.
what can we do to save football?
you highlighted one thing: THE SMALLER TEAMS DO NOT PLAY AS AN ACTIVE TEAM, BUT A PASSIVE ONE. should they provide an active competition (where active means possessing the ball with precision in direction and gameplay) like what Leicester did to land the unthinkable, football will be as competitive as expected. until then, the bigger clubs will keep being big by improving their gameplay, hiring the best coaches and players to attract quality sponsorship deals and more. a football match is won with an active mentality; TO SIMPLY WIN!
Great work. You said it bro. Well done
Wonderful videos
All informative and explain them all
How does this channel not have more views? Awesome vids.
I don't know if it would work with the way the academy system is set up, but instead of a draft the new player allocation could be set up like MLB's international amateur free agency. In that system each team is assigned a pool value which is how much they are allowed to spend (note: they are not given money, just the ability to spend that amount of money). How big your pool is is based on how big your market is with the large market teams getting less than the small market teams. Teams can trade their pool amounts but can only acquire up to 75% of their original amount. With that system the biggest teams can still sign the best players, but other teams could have a better shot by offering more money than the large market team can offer or if the large market team does sign the player then the other teams can sign more of the next tier of players.
I really like the idea of the Draft in combination of Salary Cap. Need a lot to tweak, though. But the good idea of decentralizing good players is already in there.
I have never seen such a detailed video about the economic side of football. Not just addressing the problems but also the ideas on how to solve them. Quality video 👌🏼
just discovered this channel, and it's pretty damn great. happy you are shining light on this matter, but also, duuuuuuh - anyone who understands more about football other than talking Messi vs. Ronaldo can see this and has been seeing this for years. It's a plague of the economics of football, one that has taken away a lot from the sport. The fact that more people are not outraged by this is terrible
I think the most realistic solution would be equal distribution of tv rights. In all the top leagues and uefa competitions, this would most certainly do a good job leveling the playing field at least a little bit. A salary cap would definitely level the playing field more but it would be far more difficult to get all the European leagues to agree on one. That would only incentivize them to break away from those leagues and make a super league excluding the other clubs from being able to compete with the already top clubs of today. And all the best players are all going to go where they can make the most money so if they do regulate it to the point where there is less money for the players to make, they'll go where the free market will pay them more.
Great Job. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Subscribing and Liking
the ideas from this channel is brilliants
9:11 In American BASKETBALL and baseball teams cannot dominate like Bayern in football in Germany
Golden state Warriors: Am I a joke to you?
Some points are really compelling. Interesting to watch.
I love your editing skills.
Keep up the great work guys!
The ISL, Indian Super League has a play-off between top 4 and it works fabulously.
Limit the number of players under contract. This would force big clubs to sell before they could buy and would limit loan deals. The salary cap is a good idea as well as a transfer cap.
I selected to the medical college from high school exam. In that exam only 1% can select to a medical school. And then as a first year medical student now I study 10-12 hours daily almost 7 days per week. I need to continue this hard work for 6,7 years to complete my degree and become qualified doc, now Im 20 yers old and I will be dedicating whole of my young age for studies. And after being a doc I only get paid 2000 dollers per month. Why my hard work isn't reworded enough or are we not working hard enough compared to these footballers. 😓
I see this phenomen in Football Manager to. Man. Utd & City, Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG, Juventus, Real Madrid, Bayern and Barcelona are the only clubs with really large transfer funds. All other clubs are followers.
You raise some valid questions with regard to money and proper football. We need to explore options for sure, but both should be modeled after US sports. There are so many differences in the model we can’t easily overcome but the bigger issue is US sports reward poor play. The draft might look like a possible fix, but the picking order derives from success. In some cases it is in a teams interest to phone it in rather than try to play and win. Relegation and every team playing every other team need to be the foundation of football
Great video with great ideas.
I personally think that it should be like this.
1. Max. Off 50% revenue can go to salary
2. A player can maximum cost 100 mio. €
( If the big clubs only get richer, it will just make them pay more and more. Which we have seen in the last 10 years)
3. Maximum number of players that you can buy in the transfer window
4. Maximum of players that you can have in your squad.
5. TV money should be devided almost equally, and the clubs that eather go longer in UCL or finish higher should get a smaller bonus.
6. A bigger % of players who are home-grown.
(This could have a negative effect, just look at Chelsea and their loan-system)
Just my thoughts
UEFA could try adding a sales tax to all purchases of players. A very small percentage for low cost transfers, but high percentage for high cost transfers. That way, if a club like Manchester United wanted to buy Erling Haaland, not only would they have to fork over 100M euros to Dortmund, but also pay an additional 40M or so to UEFA. Or the Bundesliga, or Norwegian national team, however they wanted to break it up.
One of the biggest problems with parity is how easily big clubs can buy players from smaller clubs in their own league when they do well. Leicester City winning the PL in 2016 was absolutely incredible, but then they lost their two best players (Mahrez, Kante) to bigger clubs immediately because they played so well. This is what makes it so hard for a smaller team to break into the club.
great video, just one quick correction. in 1967 Kareem Abdul Jabbar was in college and named Lew Alcindor. the nba banned the slam dunk because Wilt Chamberlain was unstoppable. Wil Chamberlain, the greatest basketball player of all time, bar none, had several rule changes because no team could deal with him within the rules.
Great video
Hey, i’m Tunisian and my domestic league has the same problem, with 2-3 clubs dominating the pools. I just wanted to say that, ima change that and make it one interesting league to watch. U first heard it here. xoxo
As a Celtic fan I approve of this. Money is making us giants smaller every year
Great suggestions
great info.....more..
The Belgian Jupiler Pro League has a play-off system.
After the regular competion, the first six teams are involved in the “Play-off 1”. The points they got after the regular season are divided by two, and the new championship starts on that basis. At the end of the Play-off 1, the champion is directly qualified for the UEFA Champions League, while the second has to play the third qualifying round to be qualified for the next year. The winner of the regular season is then qualified for the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa league, except if it gets a higher rank at the end of the Playoff 1. In that case, the third one (after the Playoff 1) can play the 3rd qualifying round of Europa league.
But this is not the end of the story. The 2nd Play-offs also start after the regular season. It involves 12 teams divided into two groups. The teams ranked from the 7th to the 15th position, as well as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th best team in second division play two mini-championships. Once over, the two “first” teams of these championships play a two-leg game and the one which wins can play the 4th or 5th (depending on the results of the Belgian cup, as the winner of the cup is directly qualified for the Europa league, except if it is qualified for the UEFA Champions League) team after the Playoff 1.
Fantastic video! I am a huge fan of football, what is your take of MLS?, my local team , Orlando City, plays in this league
Amazing video.
You guys should check the Colombian league system. Emotion till the very end.
A Problem with a Draft is that many teams have their own Academies; big clubs would be losing top talent that graduated out of their own academies, meaning a huge loss of investment for them.
Great work. I feel only one point made sense when it comes to making football a level playing ground. EQUAL TV MONEY. So all the teams participating in the champions league gets the same money and distribution can be made as per the total number of wins and losses. Not sure of the salary cap plan though.
Awesome video. I agree, except about the playoffs. Whatever boredom you resolve at the end of the season, is boredom you earn before the play-offs when the top 2-3 teams can no longer lose out to the play-offs. And it will leave a taste of injustice, even in the mouths of the fans of the No.4 team that ends up winning the play-off.
Well Sir Alex managed about 800 games so the fact that he has a 80% rate thats pretty good
Bro that's not only pretty good that's insane
@Hamid Hussein its for points and not wins
Hamid Hussein remember when sheiks didn't infinitely found man city
who said it wasn't good?
The City points total of the last 2 years is a Pep thing rather than a money thing. He took 6 months to get his idas across and since then City took off. Even his 100pts season was on the back of only introducing Walker and Ederson to the regular starting XI, given Mendy did his ACL in after only a few games.
@Юна Шарков Bielsa is a great coach but not a great manager. Leeds wouldn't have fallen away with Pep in charge
equal distribution of money sounds good...how about each club having to play its academy's graduates...say a quota of at least 4 academy graduates should always be in the starting 11(can be substituted later on with any player, but starting 11 should have at least 4 grads)..this is for every club...and it will also encourage new talents to come up.
Totally agree on boring tactics. Sieges of the repair surfaces by the favourite are boring.
There is another important reason which is every time a non giant succeeds they do a quick fire sale and sell their entire winning squad to the big clubs for eye watering amounts instead of keeping them and building a team that’d stay competitive for years to come. We’ve seen this with Dortmund Ajax Lille etc
Unfortunately, these kind of problems only can be prevented, not stoped after being started, that's because the richers get richer, and with power and money they control everything and would never give up from this powerful position, i don't personally see a way of stopping this from happening but making regulations before the money clubs ruin everything
Actually, in Mexico we have playoffs too, since a longtime ago.
por eso me mama nuestra liga, impredecible desde la jornada 1 una hasta la final, ya ves a medio torneo los lideres son el queretaro y el necaxa
It bothers me when some people bitch about the quality of our league system, especially the play-off stage.
There's still some work to do when it comes to relegation, but for the most part the system works well.
A European-style system, as some wish, would be rather boring and predictable.
Lo unico qur cambiaria seria que los primeros dos lugares de la tabla pasaran directo a semis
This is the best football channel in RUclips.
The Scottish premiership is horrendous for this. Celtic spend more than 30 times as much on player wages as their nearest non old firm competition: hearts.
Well this is partially correct, clubs also need to be run efficiently by making right use of funds. For example, Schalke in bundesliga earns more than most other clubs when you combine tv rights money with kit sponsorship. Yet Schalke has failed to hold on to their best talents as also looked incapable of replacing the exodus of star players with appropriate talent.
Manchester city fan here and ill enjoy it while we can😂
Hahahaha ;) until Pep is gone!
@@dwkickoff chill dont say that you sound hater🤣😂
@@themlszone6961 you're not even from Manchester. That's 1 of many reasons why nobody likes your plastic club and it's plastic fans.
Plastic is hazardous for planet earth. 😑
@@a.warner8246 we love yall as well city for life call me when you win anything 😂🤣😂
Imagine mbappe in norwich with pukki
very informative video and I think salary caps and paying teams the same amount will work
Good suggestions!
As an Aston Villa fan and has had his best player pillaged EVERY year for the better part 25 years we know all about this. By the time it was Man City's turn we said "who gives a fuck anymore"
Agree. Remember back in 1984 my hometown team Trakia Plovdiv (now Botev Plovdiv) almost eliminated the mighty Bayern Munchen (with some players that played in the 82 World Cup final) from the Cup winners cup competition. Winning 2-0 at home after losing 4-1 in Germany. Bayern should thank the excellent goalkeeper Phaph (spelling) for the countless saves. I was 14 at the time. That will not be possible to do today.
this video desrves more publicity and it should get sent to FIFA, the FA and more sporting accosiation boards accross Europe.
Like so that people can see this
Is on youtube 😂 the whole world and even on heaven can see
Fifa know this, they are happy with this because, well, money
That kid at 9:48 is awesome 😂😂😂😂😂
The NBA never banned the dunk the ncaa did
Doesn't d EPL have 2 ways of sharing money? One pool is shared equally among all the clubs and then the other pool is shared based on your finishing position?
Looking back at what happened to Monaco, it's really sad.
I'm glad this guy mentioned salary cap cuz that is exactly what I was thinking and yes implementing a new salary cap rule for club football would be the perfect simple solution to balance out pro football competition by only allowing a set maximum amount of money that can be spent. Pro club football like in Europe with UEFA aren't the only ones with this problem it is exactly because of the absence of such a rule like salary cap that pro American baseball with the MLB have this problem too. Not all pro sports in America utilize the salary cap rule like pro basketball the NBA does and American MLB pro baseball in my opinion is the absolute worst offender I mean it's no coincidence that a team like the New York Yankees have always dominated with a roster that looks like an all star team lineup cuz they are among the biggest and most absurdly wealthy MLB franchises around they just spend however much they please to snatch up all the best players.
The sad truth is that in time the rising costs of players, already many teams even in the premier league can't afford to buy that man players. in time if this keeps going on even the most richest teams will struggle to buy players.
Idiots: “ThE SuPERLeAgaue iS kIlInG FooTbALL”
Same idiots: *watches the same league every year knowing the same two teams are gonna win*
What an incredible piece of information
I think what some of the comments are missing here is he is only suggesting that in each league or competition all participating teams be given equal revenue that the league earns to level the playing field somewhat. Some teams will still have an advantage because they are better known and draw more sponsorship revenue.
