I know that's the Champions League. I'm not talking about international/champions league. I was referring to the Domestic Leagues (French and German Leagues as I said I have very little knowledge of this is more directed at the weakness of the English/UK leagues we are not exposed to them unless you really care ), which Man U does run through yearly, with the occasional 2nd tier teams i.e. Chelsea, Arsenal, and I guess maybe Man City? Man U is on a pedestal on their own at the top.betiko wrote:that's what's called champion's league. if for some reason espn or whatever only buys tv rights for the premiership, don't start asking europe to change and create something that has been existing for over 60 years. Ask ESPN to provide you with the champion's league. Out of the last 10 seasons, you have 8 different winners, and barcelona is the only one with several titles (3). All other clubs only won it once. So manchester united that you perceive as completely dominating football is an ilusion from the other side of the pond.
We make the competitions that suit us best here, not foreign markets. The stadiums are filled with people living locally and the TV rights are mostly coming from domestic televisions. A league tells you who is the best in regularity, a cup who can realize the best one time performance.
You guys mix both in US sports, and at the end of the day the league (regular season) has no value. the cup (playoffs) is what counts the most.
For us, the league is what counts the most. a cup is separate, pretty cool to win but no way as prestigious.
I'd be interested to know who finished first in regular season in a US sport and the % that end up winning the title. I personally think that it's unfair to get so little reward for being the best during the whole year. there is just no incentive to watch the regular season of a US sport. just watch playoffs, regular season is completely useless.
ps: oh also I wanted to give you the example of the french league. 10 clubs have won the league in the past 20 years, apart from Lyon that won 7 titles straight in the 2000s (a record in european major leagues to win 7 domestic championships straight) no other team has managed to get back to back titles in over 20 years. This is somehow a sign of weakeness.

Maybe if Higuain leaves another striker in case Benzema gets injured but if we get Bale then we'd need to sell Di Maria or Ozil.

£85 million and Oezil, take it or leave it.

Given the signings being made, and the fact that they would struggle to bring in comparable talent without the lure of CL football, you'd actually have a pretty strong business argument for not selling, particularly as RM are now saying if they don't get Bale they will go for Suarez, which would weaken Liverpool, deny Arsenal their current top target, and keep the Spurs team intact...
I'm keeping my fingers crossed he stays where he is but I'm not actually that hopeful - it's very hard to turn down money like that (for the club) or an opportunity like that (for the player)

Just because RM wants and Bale wants doesn't mean RM gets and Bale gets. I want to go to bed in 5 minutes with whoever is playmate of the year this year but I don't get to....

Bale wants to play for RM and RM wants Bale, it should be as easy as that.
And I like having stars at RM, watching Zidane surrounded by other galacticos was amazing. But this time doesn't feel right.
