That might well be part of why it is the best league.
European leagues are an ever changing merry go round of international players. In theory, the better players will go to the richest clubs. Most of the top sides have fewer home grown players and managers. It’s a playing field that should tilt towards the PL and yet as we’ve seen this season, it doesn’t.
Fine margins and all that. Italy, perhaps showing the biggest drop off in the super club circle but isn’t it more, the ridiculous number of games and inadequate breaks that are the culprit ?
That Dubai break turned our season around. Can’t help thinking that quantity over quality plays a big part in why both clubs and country fall at the final hurdle.
