History of English Premier League


Despite significant European success in the 1970s and early 1980s marked the end of the 80 years, a low point for English football. Stadiums were crumbling, supporters endured poor facilities, hooliganism was rife, and English clubs were banned from European competition for five years after the events of Heysel in 1985. The Football League First Division, the highest level of English football was in 1888, was far behind the leagues like Italy's Serie A and Spanish La Liga attendance and revenue, and many of the best English players moved abroad.

In 1988, negotiations were the first signs of a breakaway league, ten clubs threatened to leave and form a league of "super", but were finally convinced to stay. that the stadiums and better matching present and revenues have increased, the country again as top teams leaving the Football League to sport on the growing influx of money into capital injected.
