Let’s be honest you can ateltico right off the table in terms of viewers. The style of football they play is so boring that it puts most fans off. That’s fine if you want to hover around the top 3-4 teams in Spain but lack longevity for bringing in new fans and making it more economically viable to actually catch up to the big two. No casual or new fan will really support atletico, we may all watch the odd game, but the bubble around them burst, and they need to think how to get to that next level. Clubs like Brighton have the right idea of sustainable growth married with watchable football. I’d imagine this would have a great impact on new fans for them. Atletico hit a plateau where they won a few things and then just stayed boring. Like they have no risk of relegation or anything and outstrip most clubs in terms of player quality in Spain but just bore the life put of anyone who has been watching teams like city real barca arsenal Brighton and so on. Spanish league needs a whole rethink, and the Super League would be the final nail in many clubs coffins.
His choice, but you know that people take exception to somebody who very publicly declares their support for a group then goes and participates in something that actively works against what they so vocally “support.” Nobody likes hypocritical people,especially when it seems they are happy to ride on the backs of others facing a genuine struggle and turns around and flip flops all over the place when personal gain is on the table.
