It'd be like if they made a show about a cricket coach that ends up coaching the Rangers. Even if the show is good, the original conceit is just not something I'm going to get behind.

You're going to get Millwall Hammered for comments like that!!
I can see why hardcore EPL fans might take issue, but I thought the show was pretty good about dancing around that. They used real Refs, they got Pep, but Richmond is fictitious, they beat some real teams but not naming those teams' real players.
I'm okay with it. I like the hardcore Richmond fans in the Pub! Been there, done that, I thought that was hilariously accurate.
But you're making a show around what is probably the most profitable and valuable sports league on Earth. You're gonna have to dance a little.
