Well, there's approximately 6 clubs (often referred to as the Big 6) in England and a slightly larger number combined around Europe who made sure as much money as possible could be shovelled their way for years. The only time it doesn't is when one (or more) have a poor season and don't qualify for the top European competitions. That they are still looked on more favourably by UEFA in financial terms when they do tells you how much of a closed shop it's becoming.

In case you missed it first time round.
