It should be 2 players inducted every year, with a manager and team inducted every other year. For example, that entire Leicester team should be inducted as a unit.
This is going to take 30 years. Just stuff the lot in there.Tweet

Pardon? Owen is the weakest there and he is deservedly there.They're going to devalue the award if they start giving it to every man and his dog. A number of those names should be nowhere near a PL hall of fame list. Keep it to 20 or so players for now.
He's not getting in until he's dead. Too insane.Would be nice if they rose above his abject insanity and inducted Le Tissier. If there was a cohort group that was an alternative intake. The likes of Vardy, Klinsmann, Le Tiss, Sheringham, Gamdst Pederson, Paul McGrath, Colin Hendry, Ole, Riise, Cahill, Noble, Crouch, Kanu, Hasselbaink, Heskey, Ferguson, Di Canio, O’Shea, Okocha, Zola, Ginola.
At least a third of the inductees should be sourced outside of players that hoovered up trophies while in great teams.
Years away from adding all the ‘true’ hall of famers. Sprinkling in players that had a huge impact on the enjoyment of the league, without ever being the best player in it, is important in my opinion.
You can slightly devalue their inductions by inducting 5 at once or something.
Snubs are great for debate, hopefully this hall will offer plenty.The one who was even better than Beckham, Scholes and Giggs should not be in?
The bastards will put van Dijk in before Vidic, which is scandalous.Crazy that Vidic isn't in yet. Alongside Henry, Ronaldo and De Bruyne he's the only player with 2 player of the year awards. The latter two will quickly be added when they retire as well.
I'd add Emmanuel Eboue.It depends what this thing wants to be. If it's just a list of the best players then it's ultimately going to be pretty boring.
People like Vinny Jones or Rory Delap have a place in the Premier League "Hall of Fame" for me.
That’s kind of my point. He 100% should be in there and him being a monumental dickhead shouldn’t stop that.He's not getting in until he's dead. Too insane.
While I understand why they're blocking him, a Premier League Hall of Fame without Giggs slightly undermines it.How the feck has John Terry been nominated? The PL are blocking Giggs from being inducted so why not do the same with Terry who is a racist scumbag?

All that needs to be saidNot worth taking seriously until Giggs is in it.
Nice way of saying is a feckin idiot.Le Tissier goes against the narrative and is very outspoken against the covid injections, i will be surprised if he gets a nom anytime soon.
Owen, a world player of the year, and wonder kid supreme when he burst through is weaker than players like...Defoe.Pardon? Owen is the weakest there and he is deservedly there.
Yes he’s a weaker entry into a PL hall of fame.Owen, a world player of the year, and wonder kid supreme when he burst through is weaker than players like...Defoe.
Gotcha.

Also weird when you don't ignore people like Terry.Also I've probably already said this but ignoring Giggs is still weird. I know he's a massive twat but he'd literally be the first in on sporting achievement and it's odd to just pretend that didn't happen.
Yeah good point. I think Giggs had an outstanding court case at the time they started this and now (correct me if I'm wrong) it's been dropped it's too weird to chuck him in as the 16th member or something.Also weird when you don't ignore people like Terry.
Surprised Boehly hasn't created a Chelsea HOF yet.This entire thing is very silly.
Giggs isn't being included because of the assault case, not because of the adultery.Also weird when you don't ignore people like Terry.
Yes, and I'd argue Terry shouldn't be included due to racism, not his adultery.Giggs isn't being included because of the assault case, not because of the adultery.
On a separate note, I'm not getting this insistence of going at this pace. Eventually, all these nominess and a lot more will be included in HOF. First get all that done, and then you can go nominating 2 players into HOF a season
Is there even a proper ceremony for these? I can understand doing it slowly to give everyone their moment, but if it's just a poll that ends with them going "this player is now in" then it seems a bit daft.Giggs isn't being included because of the assault case, not because of the adultery.

Exactly, they're wasting time doing it at this pace - Eventually all the nominees today + players like RVN, Irwin, etc. will be part of HOF (atleast should be). Just induct them at once and then do it at 2-4 inductees an year.They started this in 2021, so I'm not sure why they couldn't have just put Fergie, Wenger, and then say 20 players from the 90s and 00s in there.
