The simple reason is that the very idea is insane.

I'm trying to conceive of how a football team could even move. Liverpool, right, their big thing is that they're from liverpool. They'd become what, the cardiff liverpools? how would that work? Anywhere to move to already has a team or two, and the fans aren't going to follow. Why would you convert a billion pound major team into a poo poo one that's located in the middle of nowhere, has no heritage and no fans? How would the liverpoolness be kept in? Talent scout in liverpool and go "hey 18 year old kid, want to move 100 miles away where you know nobody?"

Then why isn't it the same in America? Why doesn't every decent sized city in America have a decent team?

Because in america the teams don't matter in the slightest, the product matters, and the product is NFL. The teams themselves can be changed like light bulbs. Any hesitation a viewer might have like "didn't they only move here a month ago?" is soon forgotten when the overexcited announcer starts talking and the TV screen gets motion-graphics vomit all over it. Just like your other two sports, WWE and presidential debate.
