In my opinion, the clubs which boast the strongest youth academies and have the best business minds at work looking after the financial side of the clubs wellbeing, are going to stand a chance to win trophies year in year out, and compete for honours regular basis. Manchester United established themselves as permanent heavyweights of England since 1993, because they reaped the awards the most for winning the inaugural premier league and kept winning them regularly and qualifying in a then more rigid champions league. Back then the champions league was just that, the champions league.
Only the clubs that won the leagues of their land, would enter this tournament and compete against one another - to claim the prize which was, the Kings of Europe - the European champions Cup. The problem was that by not allowing more teams to enter this competition, you were in danger of making club football in Europe - biased, and imbalanced in terms of financial power distribution amongst clubs. For the first few seasons after 1993, Manchester United cashed in on their early success and Sir Alex probably knew eventually they'd start to let in teams who finish as 'best runners up' in their leagues, and eventually allow 3rd and 4th place spots in the subsequent future.
So he saw to it that he'd win as much silverware with the club before that happened. The deviation in terms of wealth between all clubs in England began to increase year by year, until as you put it - we began to have 'tier based' clubs, based solely on how rich they were. United got a headstart over everybody, until Jack Walker pumped in his £££'s into Blackburn to help Kenny Dalglish challenge and then win the 1994/95 Premier League, thanks to us of course on the penultimate day of that season.
United during that period also produced one of the finest if not the best youth academies in England, if not Europe and possibly the world.
Im going to have to disagree. Chelsea dominance began when Abramovic came in, gave Mourinho all of the money to shell out millions for top quality players, and therefore win them the 2 following league titles. You cant compare Arsenal to liverpool.
Arsenal havent fell out of the top 4 this decade, where Liverpool have twice. Tier 1 is United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Tier 2 is City, Liverpool etc. Arsenal WILL win the league again.
Wenger knows how to. Money now dominates football, we don't have much since we are paying off debts, but history shows we will win the league again (yes in the next 10 years).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
