- The Premier League is the wealthiest and most watched football league on Earth, having grown and grown ever since its creation in 1992.
Prior to its creation, the top flight of English football was the First Division, and it was administered by the Football League.
So why was the Premier League created, who pioneered the break away, and why did they leave the Football League behind? In this brief examination, HITC Sevens answers exactly that question. - กีฬา
Short answer: money
Long answer: mmmmmooooooonnnnnnneeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
shorter Answer: $
@ClintDempsey76 dont have that on my keyboard
And that money will filter down to the smaller clubs cough cough.
XBR4Da greed
Show me the money 💰
I love this. Every media pretends that the premier league was some insurance and never mentions the football before that. I want more recognition for the brilliance before 92 damnit.
Same here. Football was brilliant before 1992 and I want more from pre premier league. I started going to games in the mid 80’s and it was the game I loved. Before the money took over.
@NolaVerse TV I might be wrong here, but I think stats were not recorded before 1992
I think the transition from European cup to champions league in the 90s also adds to the idea that football didn’t exists before 1992
Dolphin definitely.
Why are people leaving such long comments on this, bro this is a kid 🤣
You also forget that in the 80s Football clubs were suffering from a lack of money due to decreasing crowds in their stadium's thanks to the hooligans, also the stadiums in the 80s were showing their age and desperately needed updating but clubs didn't have the money to do so
Nah, everyone knows football was invented in 1992 by Rupert Murdoch. They have a special department at Sky Sports dedicated to hunting down anyone who claims otherwise.
What do you mean? Liverpool vs Arsenal in 1989 was far better than Man City vs QP- *gets lynched and gagged*

Your spot on. Every stat Martin tyler says is always 92 onwards. Like everything before then was not important
Family Read I’m assuming that’s because a lot of stats counted nowadays were started in 92 or later
Family Read I think its because what was Division One essentially became inferior. (The Championship)
Raphaelkungfupanda but the old first division was originally the elite of English football, it’s only now the second tier of football. So when say, Clive Allen got 49 goals in one season. He got that amount of goals in the top tier of English football.
Family Read Yes, but that was pre-92. Once the Prem was born as the league for the cream of the crop, Div 1 - the Championship - lost its shine. Ask the likes of LCFC and Blackburn fans which one they loved winning more.

Bit rich for the prem to whine about the super league when their "premier" league was no different, taking the elite teams and kicking off "lesser" ones.
At least there’s promotion/relegation and not just an inaccessible league
A crucial difference is that each PL team has one vote and any team may be relegated if they are not good enough

@@mrred5417 its stated in this video that spurs were part of top 5 for premier league.
The back pass rule was introduced after Euro 92, which was a dramatic change to the way in which football was played. So much so, you could make the argument that that’s why 1992 and onwards is considered modern football. Coincidental with the formation of the premier league but convenient.
Yh I sort of agree but what people need to do is stop ignoring and disrespecting the players and managers that gave us over 100 years of history in this country and without it we would have never got the re brand in the 1st place.
dylan wyatt-brown oh yeah, totally agree, the backpass rule is my way of reconciling it rather than completely bowing to it. But 92 is a nice chapter marker. I’ve wondered how other countries think of dividing time because that rule would make sense.
I've often thought 1992 is a Year Zero in football for many reasons. The Champions League was launched as well as the Premier League, and the backpass law being changed is massive, despite often being overlooked. Most rule changes in football over the last 150 years have been gradual tweaks (offside, handball, tackling etc), but this was a huge shift overnight, and really affected how the game was managed.
Champions league existed before 1992 as European cup@@matthewreid2107
I remember a time when it was referred to as "the old first division". It's been so long now it barely gets a mention nowadays, and when it does it's "the top flight". Ah, the nostalgic.
This is what really killed football long before the Super League came along
yeah but people are too stupid :)))))) they think uefa saved them :)))))))
Was waiting for a recent comment after watching haha
@My names Jeff aha i m the commie ,the big teams will do it it is inevitable ,small teams make money because they play bigt teams with tradition ,take out the big ones out of the league ,see who watches from the middle down
It actually saved it
The Premier League is a domestic league that modernised a lot of bad things in English football. Decrepit, crumbling stadiums with dodgy af safety and comfort. Introducing women and children into the match day experience, not just men. Promotion into and relegation out of the league was and is still possible. It is not a closed pan European league played by the same 10/12 clubs with no fear of relegation. The two do not compare.
I completely agree! Why is football before 1992 completely forgotten? For example Jimmy Greaves is the top scorer with 357 goals that's nearly 100 more than Alan Shearer.
By the way I'm not related to Jimmy. (Apart from very distantly ofcourse.)
and now there might be a separation of the Championship from the EFL with all the money being spent by Championship clubs rivaling that of a lot of clubs in top tier leagues in other countries
That's been happening for some time now also.
Is there somewhere I can read about this I'm interested?
Carlos Geli it’s because they’re all at the promotion roulette wheel gambling millions of pounds knowing that a promotion will return the money back due to the increased turnover and much more lucrative tv deal. How do you expect teams like Luton or Wycombe to compete with that having just been promoted to the championship
Simple answer: *MONEY*
yes they think MONEY can attract the best players.
in the 80s the lure of lira.
in the 90s till now the lure of £

Best homegrown XI in premier league. (This means players that played for more than 3 years in England before the age of 21.)
Chelsea's youth won the equivalent of the champions league twice in a row
Average international premier league fan: Alan Shearer is a beast the greatest scorer of English football!!
Me: That would be Jimmy Greaves

Another thing that's annoying is calling the second division the "Championship"
English football is one step away from having playoffs, drafts and half time shows I fear...

Agree with the last two lines, the premier league started americanizing something so "British" like football.
Money money & money . Big difference there is that the second tier of football still has a chance to be promoted to the premier league as opposed to a closed shop that the ESL would be .
The ESL was going to have promotion to even though it was a bad idea I'm thinking most of you didn't even educate yourself on what it actually was
This is what I love about this channel, it knows and respects the fact football didnt start in 1992 and actually had over 100 years of history before
It's embarrassing when people say teams have never won the league if it's not the Prem. If that's the case then only United, City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Leicester and Blackburn have won the league which is ridiculous. So many more teams have won the league when it was the First division.
To everyone saying "this is just like the super league" 3 teams get promoted every year which means any team can play in it and no one is safe. Which was the main problem people had with the SL, a lot of punters said it was less about the money and more about the death of competition. But aye I hate it how football before 92 is almost treat like it doesn't count
Guess whats back with open system?
With regards to how it came about with money and greed is exactly the same. Sky Sports is extremely hypocritical to go on the attack against the club's that aligned with the ESL because IT IS THE SAME. Yes, there is still promotion and relegation and the ESL would've killed that off but really, that's just to save face for the Prem/Sky as you still have the established elites and once you're promoted, it's all about survival rather than challenging for the top honours.
It’s so weird to see this video after the ESL debacle. So many similarities that it’s uncanny.
Haha, Ken Bates and Epstein‘s Ghislaine Maxwell, that shocked me a bit to be honest.

@@HITCSevens I mean, I should also say that I enjoyed the video. These ones where you go a bit deeper into discussing things are my favourites. Especially the ones about how money is ruining the game (and everything else, to an extent.)
Even worse: A few years ago Steven Gerrard wanted the Telly money to go mostly to the big clubs. I remember him saying that people in Asia ( I live in Thailand ) want to watch Liverpool and Man Utd. Not small teams such as Bornemouth, Everton etc. It's true that Liverpool and Man Utd are by far the most popular teams in all of South East Asia. When I used to play in Thailand, when thais asked me which team I supportd and I told them............., they would ask me why?
Almost 30 years later, we have a similar situation with the UEFA Super League
The breakaway Super League was nothing to do with UEFA
Anyone else watching this after premier league almost got a taste of their own medicine
In answer to the above question. This is my personal opinion. Yes it was money. When the ban was lifted on English clubs. English football wanted to reform itself enough so it could be as wealthy as the football on the continent like Frnace, Spain, Italy etc. For about 20 years prior to the formation of the PL, English football was in crisis. Not so much with results on the pitch as English clubs were successful in Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. It was more to do with events off the pitch. Wherever English teams played was often marred by crowd trouble. Which came to a head with Heysel in 1985 and English clubs being banned for six years. This was seen as a disaster for English football as the standard of Footall in England suffered as a result during those six years. However ironically this period also saw the emergence of very talented players in England that did well in italia 90. Players like Gary Lineker, Paul Gascoigne, Peter Beardsley, Paul Parker, Ian Wright, John Fashanu to name a few. Also in the 1970s and 1980s much of the stadia in England was very old some have not been renovated since the 1930s and 1940s. Making any stadium in England at the time potential dangerous to attend. Crumbling old stadiums, crowd trouble and lack of resources by police to ensure safety of matches came to a head at hillsbrough in Sheffield in 1989. By this time English football was the pariah league of Europe if not the world. It was potentially life threatening for reasons above for anyone to go and watch a game of soccer in England during this era. Still unlike the serie a in recent years. The English game was well attended by fans. Meaning football is more a religion in England than even Italy. Since Italians once their league faded away. Just decided. Yeah its just football. Its not that important there other priorities we can now do on a weekend than following the Serie A which has had its day, it was great while it lasted. That would never happen in England. The following in England would be there no matter what or how bleak things get. So even during the bad years. Crowds flocked to football in England in the 1970s and 1980s despite crowd trouble and bad stadia. The light at the end of the tunnel for English football came at Italia 90 world cup in Italy. Home of the Serie A and the most successful and respected league in the world in this era. I think you explained the glory years of Italian serie a. Well England's unexpeceted good performance at Italia 90 convinced the people who run English football that a root and branch change is required if English footall is to survive and thrive into the 1990s and 21st century. Like what the Serie A has become in the last 10 years English football was back then. In 1991 all English clubs were allowed back in the fold in Europe. So its no surprise the English premier League was launched soon after. They scrapped the top tiers and made it the Premier League. You wouldn't bet against them being successful. London was a global hub. TV Media moghuls like Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch and others already had their headquarters for Europe there. Now English Football asked them to invest in English football and beam it to far flung corners. English football already had a type of following in places like South East Asia , East Asia, Africa, Australia and North America a market ready made and ready to go this was supercharged and monetised. However the quality of English football in the early years was not great. I remember watching it. I am a huge serie A fan. So I was rest easy in the fact that supremacy of Serie A would never be challenged by up and coming leagues like English League. Boy was I wrong within 3 years of the the launch the EPL was already putting pressure on the Serie A. Also more an more foreign players were moving to England also the football was more attacking and seen to be entertaining by more and more people. I got seriously concerned by the mid to late 1990s. That the decline of Serie A was on and all the good things about football that came from the serie a would be lost forever. English football went from strength to strength in the mid to late 1990s. Better stadiums. Old dilapidated stadiums were upgraded or made much safer. Better policing and surveillance making it very difficult for crowd violence or trouble to occur which was a blight on the English game for so long. Campaigns like kick racism out of football and no to crowd violence were launched and promoted. It looked English football had almost completely solved much of the problems that plagued it in the 1970s and 1980s. By the dawn of the 21st century of the Premier Leauge. Meanwhile Serie A sadly for me as a fan of the Italian game became a shadow of its former self.

Good thing the PL broke away from the EFL, seeing how the EFL has dealt with the Wigan, Bury and Bolton issues.
The Prem is just as if not even more corrupt. The only reason they haven’t had to deal with issues like Bury and Bolton is that each club gets 90+ million in broadcasting rights. Tbh Bolton issues were started due to relegation from the prem
The TV money has created a gigantic financial bubble. Unless you're one of the super-rich clubs, almost every football club above League 1 should be worried about being put out of business when it finally bursts.
Wigan's a good example of the sort of financial lunacy taking place, even at smaller clubs. They've ended up having to find £6 Million because their owner decided he wasn't going to underwrite the debt anymore.
Psilent Music UK and this is why a salary cap should have been put in instead of this bs FFP to stop costs from spiralling out of control and if the premier league teams are way above that cap when they get relegated, then tough they have to sell players
@@tombardsley3081 The salary cap is a good idea if it's applied across all leagues. If it's only L1/2 then it will just create a bigger rift between themselves and the Championship.
@@PsilentMusicUK yeah I agree there should be something for both the premier league and the championship but also the top division cap should cover the top European leagues as well eg la Liga , bundesliga etc to stop players from just jumping ship to make more money in another European league.
Love the content, the subjects you cover, and how in depth you go with these mini documentaries. Thanks Alfie.
But I thought "AmErIcAn OwNeRs OnLy WaNt MoNeY" as Sky sports always kept insisting
I mean, they do, but your point still stands
Football fans only unite when Yanks get involved simply because its the only sport they arent the best at. But if its shady Russians or European businessmen, no one would care less and would suck off a hollow club
The national team has probably suffered overall. I can't imagine when it first started that the FA envisioned the teams just buying the best foreign players and therefore forcing out or not giving chances to the english players as often.
What did the national team win before 92, except the solitary world cup on home soil 🙄 Never appeared in a European championship final....
@@lubabalomengu1845 I think the reason why England didn't win anything BEFORE 92 was coz other countries were simpler BETTER at football (Netherlands, Argentina, Brazil, West Germany, Italy etc)... Better coaches, players etc.
After 1992 England had an influx of great coaching minds and great players, yet that didn't translate to their own players or managers becoming better.
Meaning it was never about improving the English game and a skills transfer, it was simply going to get the best of the best, from whatever country and selling a product.
In short, they don't give a damn about their footballing culture, identity and history and the don't care about their clubs or national team. It's all about money.
"they" being Sky Sports and the corporations who benefit from the "premier league" hype machine
Although I'm against the super League, this video shows the hypocrisy in football.
UEFA is fighting for the ucl but it's not to save the game but it is to get money. Same reasons why the premier league was formed. It's all about money.
Literally had Man United fan say to me “Liverpool only have won one league title because as the other 18 happened before the premier league, they don’t matter”.
Wow!! Idiots mate
Worse than that is the fact every top goal scorers list only includes premier league era goals as if goals scored before then simply didn’t count 🤣
maca lad 84 I’ve also had “technically you only won 2 champions leagues as 4 of them were as the European cup”.
They definitely count and we still definitely have more league titles than you.
At this rate, Manchester would have the highest unemployment rate in the country. Which company wants to hire 'can't count and tell straight facts' wankers from that part of the country during a recession and when most companies are literally in survival mode
Man City concerned about ludicrous transfer fees, imagine that, hard i know 😂
They're cheaters Kakarot, damn cheaters!
To be fair that was when Man City didn't sell their souls
Now they concern about UEFA ban, oh wait..
If ya can't stop them. Ya join them. And make them look like babies. Fucker.

@@HavencheeseSame with Newcastle. How do people consider them a massive club, despite the fact that they were for a really long time mostly just a mediocre at best club before the Saudi takeover a couple years ago and their trophy cabinet being even older than that of Tottenham, yet it is Tottenham who constantly getting laughed at.
I love these videos so much. This guy doesn’t get enough appreciation
PL also formed because teams were losing players to Italy and Spain due to European bans. Sure EFL has not been awash with cash but that's down to finanical mismanagement and ITV digital collapse in the 2000s.
Idea: all time Premier League 11 from a single country.
All Italians, French, Irish eg.
The head of the football league said that they moved their base to Lytham St Annes because it was as far as they could get from the FA!! That shows you the relationship that they had with each other.
Yeah but they actually measure soccer leagues in 'Blink 182 lifetimes', so it makes sense.

Once again, fantastic content.
Records like: premier league top scorer and premier league top appearance maker are useful statistics as they help modernise the records to keep up with what is arguably the most difficult era of english football
I'd say it's easier, at least for the top players. The gap between them and the other teams is much wider now. A goalscorer for a top side will get more chances than they used to in the 80s, for example.
Great video today keep it up your doing amazing job

Here in North America, we often dismiss older championships as well. But at least here it sort of makes sense, because leagues are constantly adding new teams (for example, my favourite hockey club last won a cup in 1967 when there were only 6 teams participating and now in the same league there are 31 with a 32nd coming in 2021.) Adding new clubs is a business decision for sure much like the premier league breaking away would've been, but it also heavily impacts what everyone's season because now you have to play double/triple/whatever else amount of teams than you would've just a few seasons prior. With the premier league, it literally was just "hey let's make more TV money" and everyone decided "yup. This is when football is born

And history repeats in 2021
1992 is a landmark year in global football and not just the premier league. The abolition of the back pass in 1992 has changed football for the better, making it a much more exciting game.
But it should never priced traditional working class fans out. Hence why the atmosphere has suffered as a consequence.
@@craigmullen9046True, overall a nettoloss for the beautiful game.
I can't believe a life league game wasn't broadcasted between 1960 and 1983. That's mad! Things which we take for granted now
Great video. Novel concept. Making the top believe that the teams at the bottom of the foundation are worth the investment. Look I am a American who loves all America sports. But when I was introduced to soccer in the mid 1990’s I feel in love with the relegation formula. I still wish there was more playoff Football (soccer) in England because those games are intense. Plus I can root for whoever I like ..My favorite teams are Dortmund in Germany. in England I like Blackburn Rovers, Leeds, Chelsea, Leicester City, Brentford, Derby, Sheffield Wednesday, ect, ect..I am sure I like others !! Poor Bolton In the Premier League from 1995 to 2012. Adrift in the Champions League from 2012-2016. Relegated to League one in the 2016-17 season. Back up for 2 years. Back down. Now holy crap smashed down to League Two. I feel bad for the fans who root for clubs like this who have bad owners like the NFL club I root for. (Lions) I hope they get new owners to help them. I just really enjoy watching the game. Brentford vs Fulham should be a fun match to watch next week. Winning team sure gets a piece of the EPL pie !
well made video. Well said.
In 1992, the 1st division and european cup were rebranded into the premier league and champions league mainly because of, as you even stated, money. 1992 also just happened to be the year Man Utd won their 1st of 13 premier league titles meaning Man Utds domination over english football began when football became about money.

You could make a similar video on the name change of the European Cup to the Champions League around the same time too and the impact its had.
UEFA changed the format slightly in 1992, but it was still champions only until the 1997/98 tournament when they started letting also rans in.
Who also got recommendations for this video ever since the European Super League news in 2021?

If the old league was still around you wouldn't see teams like Bury,Bolton,Portsmouth,Sunderland etc struggle. The FA cup would still be valued instead of coming in the top 10 of the prem.
The prem has brought some good aspects to the game but its not working class anymore and these clubs aren't the fans anymore we sold out.
Wholeheartedly, breaking away from the EFL was a genius move and is the sole reason our game has grown so much. It might be commercialised and corporatised but it pushed the product alone, helped us build the most competitive leagues in the world. Like it or not it opened our eyes to football being the global game, Italy had dominated back then, they had they money and the names, where they had limits on foreign players we did not, so we got to see the best, every other major European league is a monopoly or duopoly at best with the same team winning every year. The issue is wealth distribution and keeping the EFL viable and alive. More money should filter down to the 72.

Coming from a guy who goes to america 3 times a year every year and has been to Korea twice. As in I'd say it has been the worldwide game for decades but in the recent 2-3 decades it's become even more global and expansive
It's not grown though and it's non of the things you have said
@@danielcowan87english football is not the sole football there is. you meant to say english football was a nobody back then, especially in terms of worldwide recognition.
0:32 - that rarest of pics. A young(ish) looking Macca!
What a legend.
Sparky is as well I suppose.
I feel like you could make the same video about the super league
Pre 1992 The Football League administrated all the Football clubs of the top four divisions ... and the profits were divided down the leagues.
Post 1992 The F.A. Premier League ran the top league Only and kept the profits to themselves ... that was The Start of The diminishing lower league clubs within the remaining three tiers of The Football League.
Pre 1992 the National T.V. providers The B.B.C and I.T.V. showed The top League games AND lower league games within those programmes ... Not anymore its just the Premier League.
Ghislsnie maxwell shocked me
How is she everywhere wtf man so dodgy
See who her dad was. Makes more sense then.
You should do a video on how much a goal cost in each major league relative to the average salaries.
like you could base it off the top scorers in each league possibly or the highest paid idk.
This is the best and most unbiased documentary that outlines how the Premier League was created and why. The Premier League is destroying the small clubs outside of the top flight. It's ironic that it's Man City that were against the structure as it didn't give all the clubs an even split.
Great video, is a situation this country and the people in control will inevitably have to deal with in the future.
Last league we won, 91/92 season.
Oh wait we just won the championship and back in the big time !!! #ALAW #MOT
89/90 we won the second division, 30 years later we won the championship. Within 2 years we won the title with Wilkinson, In 2 years time under El loco we can achieve Greatness
@@marccronshaw7874 in bielsa we trust 👌🏼
Premier league champions 20/21
Champions league champions 21/22
You've heard it here first
I wouldn't count the championship as a title win. That's small club mentality
"A house of cards crumbling at the seams" - that mixed metaphor hurt me
It's very disappointing when you know for sure that the big 6 clubs are gonna stay up and there will be no surprise 😕
5:06 that's not right the Prem was called the Premiership from 1996 to 2007 it wasn't just a quick change
Yay great video
I feel the Premier League has done very little for English football.
But plenty for Sky !!!!
if you asked someone in 1992 who are the biggest clubs in England they would say
1. Liverpool
2.Arsenal
3.Leeds
4.United
Now ask them again in 2020
i prefer the old system tbh even though i was born in 1990 i think there were some great football league clubs look at bury and Rushden and diamonds and the old Wimbledon
Same here it was less about money and more about football.
Great video but the amount of ads is insane.
I prefer your documentary style videos. Wish they got more videos.
Could you please take a look at the situation in Bulgarian football where there're 2 CSKAs in the first division now?
