You can go back to any point in time and witness the full dynasty of 3 teams, live. Who do you chose?
Time Traveller: 3 dynasties
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
Everton mid-80s.
Milan late 80s-early 90s side.
Ajax 1995.
Milan late 80s-early 90s side.
Ajax 1995.
The 1995 Ajax team were a penalty shootout away from wining back to back CL.
That would have put LVG amongst the greatest of all time.
And the Everton team would have won at least 2 European cups had it not been for Heysel.
1986. Burcharest
1987. FC porto
1988. Psv
No big team was dominating in that period.
United 1945-68
Hungary 1950s
Ajax 1994/95
Hungary 1950s
Ajax 1994/95
Netherland 1974
Real Madrid 1955-1960
Ajax 1995
Real Madrid 1955-1960
Ajax 1995
A dynasty is by definition a long running period of success.
Liverpool and United are therefore arguably the only two English dynasties in the last 50 years as no one else has totally dominated by winning 5 or more leagues over a decade plus other cups.
Even Chelsea and City haven't dominated to that extent.
Not sure you can count what a team might have won into it. Cup competitions don't always go as planned.

There are too few teams that qualify for the criteria that it's okay to bend the rules a bit. From 83-87 we won the FA Cup, the league twice and the European Cup Winners Cup. The Charity Shield 4 times too. That's a very good 4 year spell. It's widely thought that not being in Europe probably cost us longevity in success so I think it's fair to look at that 4 years in an isolated context.
The Ajax 95 example is a huge stretch admittedly when considering dynasty but they did have great domestic success in that period. I'd choose the Ajax side from the early 70s if that wasn't allowed.
River Plate 1941-1947
