Football isn't all about winning trophies these days its primarily entertainment and you can cope without silverware if you have a season where your team is aggressively trying to win every game the silverware is just the icing on the cake.
DO people really want to win trophies boring the sh*t out of fans like Maureen has just done.
Football has moved on the money now has an incredible influence on who wins what and its just simply not possible to deny that.
Cups won in tournaments that include teams from tiny hamlets in the EL...hard to imagine this rates as satisfying.
Cups won in tournaments so unimpressive teams deploy their entire back bench........If the teams don't care why should I? Or any mediot for that matter
The UEFA Cup.........aka....the best loser in Europe..... I'd cash the check and tell EUFA to keep their cup
Sure, I'm an outsider with no real sense of the importance of these add-on tournaments to the teams and their fans.
For me, only 2 trophies prove a team's worth...... CL & PL ....and everything else is just canned pie filler.
Best in Europe
Best in PL
In that order....but that's me.
