Is the PL so full of its own self-importance that it has to finish a good three weeks after L1 and two weeks after L2 and the Championship? I know there are play-offs but come on!

It'll all be linked to TV deals I would assume

Champions League is even worse. No other games from any of the top European leagues can play on the same night at CL nights and the final has to be the last game of the season.

A staggered end to the season is an advantageous to the football pundits as well.

and where does the FA cup get squeezed into all this money led bonanza

It's all about The CL. Nothing else really matters so that's why Pep's crestfallen & a potentially jubilant Jurgen may take the Holy Grail! Also, all th eplayers Arsenal have lined up for the summer could all fall through if they don't make it. It's all about Money unfortunately & the F.A. Cup which was the largest cup competion isn't taken seriously until the Semis.

I often wish they had burgered off to the superleague thing
