When I was driving back from Carlisle on Saturday evening, me and my two mates were listening to 606. A gentleman who had moved to America but still watched English football regularly was talking about styles of play and what he'd rather watch, Stoke were a big part of this topic obviously and he said that he would rather see his team be an entertaining mid-table Championship side, than a mid-table Premiership side that played boring football.
The presenters (Darren Fletcher and Robbie Savage) thought that this was ridiculous and that the vast majority of football fans would take Premiership football over anything. "You get to see the best players in the world week in, week out" was their response, to which he said "But they're not playing for my team, and I pay my money to watch my team". I thought he had a very good point and I agree with him.
With all the talk of style on here at the moment I thought I would be an interesting topic to debate and give us something to talk about other than our current struggle. This is all theoretical obviously, and based on an established Premiership side rather than a team who has just been promoted and trying to stay there.
So, what would you prefer to pay your money to see?
