To be fair PL teams had dominated Europe the year before too, so it’s 2 times in last 3 years.Dominating this one year. Like La Liga did for ages? Great question
It's 7 finalists in the least 3 years. England is also now top of the coefficient ratings. So I don't think it's unreasonable to say England is currently dominating.Dominating this one year. Like La Liga did for ages? Great question
1 CL winner since Chelsea in ... 2013?!It's 7 finalists in the least 3 years. England is also now top of the coefficient ratings. So I don't think it's unreasonable to say England is currently dominating.
2 winners in 3 years in the CL. It's going to be 3 in 5 in Europa league. Top of the coefficient rankings with a growing lead. That's dominance in Europe. And it's not just who ends up winning it, it's how late all the other teams go into the competition. It's not surprising to see EPL teams do significantly better than their counterparts here either.1 CL winner since Chelsea in ... 2013?!
Dominating is when you do it 3-4 years minimum. This is Liverpools standard of PL domination
You mean Pep?Having successfully thrown off the shackles of FFP the era of petrochemical domination is in full flow*. Oil billions not only fund bloated and insanely expensive squads for the chosen teams they also inflate the market so much it bankrupts everyone who tries to take them on. Win win for the billionaires and their football club penis extensions.
*Plus Klopp is one of the best managers ever.
Spain has won 5 in the last 8 or something? That's why we should calm down a tad.2 winners in 3 years in the CL. It's going to be 3 in 5 in Europa league.

That's not exactly what he said.Neville is wrong about it being purely down to the managers. It's the money. The money was misspent 2013-2017 but the current managers spending it properly doesn't mean the success is no longer down to money.
There is also the decline of Madrid and Barcelona. Let's not pretend La Liga was a superior league, take those two out and the league would have been right down there with the PL in our worst periods.
7 of the last 12 european finalists have been English so it's a bit more than one year to be fair. Not sure barca or real will challenge next year either.Dominating this one year. Like La Liga did for ages? Great question
The money brings the manager though. Do you think Guardiola would have gone to City if he didn't have a blank cheque book and an extra salary going into a slush fund account in god knows where?That's not exactly what he said.
The point was the money isn't enough. If your manager and your recruitment is poor you won't have success.
Money isn't enough no, but it's the single biggest influencing factor in achieving success. By far.That's not exactly what he said.

“One of”You mean Pep?
I don't think anyone is getting ahead of themselves. As things stand, the EPL is dominating in Europe.Spain has won 5 in the last 8 or something? That's why we should calm down a tad.
I think a dominance could be starting. Reasons - lots of money being coupled with good coaching.
As as things stood last year Germany was?I don't think anyone is getting ahead of themselves. As things stand, the EPL is dominating in Europe.
Again you're missing the point.The money brings the manager though. Do you think Guardiola would have gone to City if he didn't have a blank cheque book and an extra salary going into a slush fund account in god knows where?
That's kind of the point being made.Money isn't enough no, but it's the single biggest influencing factor in achieving success. By far.
Of course Mourinho and Woodward have done their best to buck that trend
That poster is saying it's not purely down to the managers not that it is absolutely not down to the managers. He's right that money is a pre-quisite and England always hard absurd amounts of it but didn't manage to gel it for awhile with quality coaching/running of clubs. That's changing now. Plus of course Europe's giants are a bit weak right now so it's opened up a vaccum for no so great English sides like Chelsea to make their mark.Again you're missing the point.
The money's been there the whole time but the PL were nowhere in Europe between 2013 -2017 because the managers weren't as good.
They were building things up and moving on the right trajectory. Nobody gets it right first time. The spine of City's team was brought in during that period, it just needed finishing touches made. All down to the money, though.Again you're missing the point.
