Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 What exactly is so difficult for certain people to understand here? What exactly is the point in comparing success in the League Cup with the time before the European Cup became the all-important 'top 4' era Champions League in the context of the current question? It's the change in emphasis of a top 4 finish which is precisely why the League Cup became an utterly irrelevant trophy. Whens that then? Cos the champions league used to be top 2, then 3, then 4. The top 4 has only existed 8 or so years. It was the top 2 prior to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14574 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I used the change form European Cup to Champions League as the cut off. That's the point where league places started to become more important than the League Cup. If you want to recompile the list for just the last 8 years, I don't think you'll find any difference frankly. For the first 5 years of the champions league only the champions of each nation qualified......I've got a first class stamp here, do you want it so you can write down what you know about football on the back of it?....
