Another big factor which he could have added here is the fall of the iron curtain in ‘89 because it opened the gates for the Eastern European talent who were now free to join any team that afforded them. This basically removed any possible real competition from the East because in terms of raising private capital to afford high salaries, Eastern clubs were too far behind and now the gap continues or is worse.

It is nice to see a German media outlet being truthful about why English teams are so rich. I often see in the German media and German fans state that English teams are only richer than German teams because of Sheiks and Oligarchs. The truth is TV money, plain and simple. England invented football, but also reinvented it in 1992. They were the first country in Europe to apply American sports marketing techniques to football, to create buzz and hype for football. But they were also the first to market their league globally. While English teams have always been the most popular globally because English teams used travel globe in the 1950s and English games were shown internationally since the 1960, with the American sports marketing and England's history and culture, they turned English football gold to cocaine. This meant English teams were not only getting a lot of TV money domestically, but globally too. England turned football from a million euro industry to billion euro industry. So in the US where football is not a big huge sport, the Premier League earns more money just from the US TV companies, than the Bundesliga earns globally on their TV contract. People claim bubble will burst, but Sky UK need the EPL because it is main reason people subscribe to Sky so they have to pay more to keep it. As former Chelsea owner said about Sky, people will not keep their subscriptions just to watch the Simpsons.

Well it explains why English clubs initially had more money than the teams in other countries. But then these countries applied the same marketing techniques. Without the oligarchs the top clubs around Europe would have about the same amount of money. The oligarchs and club owners are tge reason English clubs have more money than the rest TODAY. Also England and Spain have marking advantages above e.g. Germany, because English and Spanish are the world's most widespread languages. This makes foreign marketing easy when the potential costumers (you just can't call them fans) already speak your language. German on the other hand is rarely spoken outside of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This makes foreign marketing harder and gives the Bundesliga a disadvantage.

@@felixw19 What utter nonsense. Please explain how teams from other parts of Europe would have the same amount of money as English teams, when English teams earn £5 billion from foreign TV rights and leagues like the Bundesliga and La Liga earn less than 1 billion from international TV rights? English teams are the most popular teams in the world and that is why their TV contracts are so much bigger. Teams like Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and Spurs average between 400 million and 200 million global TV viewers per game. To put this into perspective Real Madrid and Barcelona are the most watched non-English teams and they only average 50 million global TV viewers when they are not playing each other. This means Premier League TV rights are worth more because TV companies around the world know English teams attract viewers and subscribers. And if language is the only reason English teams are popular, then why are Premier Leagues matches the most watch games in Europe, South America, African and Asia where many people don't even speak English? I will also point out the Bundesliga was the first European football shown in the US in 1970s and 1980s well before the English football so had a head start, but English football has taken over in the US now, because people there prefer how English teams play and the history of the clubs and that is why the Premier League is the most popular sports league in the world.

No points out that Real, Barcelona and Bayern more money than any English teams and the wealth comes through dubious circumstances. Real and Barcelona take 50% of the La Liga TV money to give them false wealth and Bayern as the only big team in the 3rd biggest economy in the world get inflated sponsorship contracts from German companies for nationalistic reason than true value. One of the reasons Liverpool left Adidas was because Adidas a German based company wanted to pay Liverpool less money for a kit deal, despite Liverpool selling more kits than Bayern 5 to 1. So Adidas was paying Bayern more money just because they are German. No also talks about the corruption Rummenigge helping to create FFP laws and making the laws so they favour his team. FFP could have been based on proof of wealth so teams with rich owners could spend, but he went for income generated because he knew Bayern being the only big club in Germany with inflated sponsorship from German companies have much higher income than teams countries where there are multiple big teams, where sponsorship is more divided up. When FFP was launched Bayern suddenly became contender for the Champions League because the law handicapped countries with multiple big teams in England and Italy.

@@Delboy0 That's a bit unfair. Felix is correct in saying that it is largely because of foreign owners and the competitive balance that they bring to the league by acquiring better payers for their team, that is responsible for the English clubs having more money today. The reason that the international TV rights fetch so much money is because of how competitive the Premier League is, particularly in comparison to the borefest that the Bundesliga has become over the past 10 years, where the 50+1 rule has lead to very obvious stagnation. The Premier League would have died as an international product, like the Bundesliga, if it had the same ridiculous, position-maintaining farce of a rule and would have become the same kind of one-horse league, with probably Man United always finishing first, Arsenal second etc. Your criticism of the deals offered to Bayern by German companies, which seem to not be based on what relevant factors whatsoever, is valid though. So too is your criticism of Rummenigge's involvement in the creation of FFP. It was an very obvious use of authority to entrench his team's position. I can't really blame Rummenigge though. He's doing what's in the best interest of the business that he's looking after. So are all the executives in every other football club. The problem is actually much deeper though. Having clubs compete against one another as business entities, rather than just as sporting entities, means that some win financially at the expense of others, leading to the same happening again in future, with league positions(and the associated prize money and sponsorship contracts) almost being preordained, which is clearly to the detriment of the product that the spectators actually pay for. It's probably going to take someone with a bit of common sense and vision to form a closed league, like the ones we see in America, which are all extremely profitable and sustainable, in order to avoid the stagnation that will obviously now result from the FFP rules.

@@Monaleenian Having a rich owner is irrelevant now because England and Europe have financial fair play rules so clubs can only spend what the teams and not the owner's money. Do you know the richest owner in England is the QPR owner. They are second division team. The owner cannot spend his money because it is against the rules, he can only spend what the team makes. So rich owners have nothing to do with the competitive balance. It is not that complicated it is the huge TV contract and meritocratic distribution of this money. In the Premier League every team gets at least 250 million from TV and this creates the competitive balance because every team can afford top players and top coaches. I think what foreign owners have done is given English football a level of professionalism off the field that makes them lightyears ahead of the rest of Europe. A big problem in Germany is 50+1 rule means most German clubs are amateurish run and have a lot of incompetence making it easy for Bayern. English teams attract bigger international contracts because English teams have always been the most popular teams globally. Liverpool is far bigger than Bayern in terms of global support, yet they had not won the title for 30 years. English teams transcend success. What you have to understand is people in foreign countries have been supporting English teams for 70 years, which makes it unique to any other European league. You have 9 or 10 generations of hardcore foreign fans who follow English teams. I was in a taxi in Africa and driver was listening to a Premier League on his radio, because he wouldn't be doing this for a La Liga or Bundesliga game. I was in Asian too and Liverpool where playing Chelsea and this fancy hotel and all the staff of the hotel were trying to watch the game because they were Liverpool fans. English teams have ultra foreign fans and this is why they earn far more from international TV contracts. They are not getting more money out of charity, it is because the TV companies know English football across 6 continents gets the most viewers.

I would add 1 more thing. The decline of Italian football. This triggered the flood of available players. It started with players like Vialli, Ravanelli, Lombardo and Benito Carbone from Italy and snowballed. I also think United winning the Champion’s League in 1999 firmly put English football back on the map. A lot of people had a feeling that team was very special not just regarding league, but in Europe it could really do something. They were clapped off in the Nou Camp after the 3-3. Andy Cole/Dwight Yorke and THAT goal. For me the United/Bayern final signalled the end of Italian dominance in Europe. We beat off 2 Italian teams to get to the final. The explosion of the premier league and the beginning of the end of Serie A having the best league more or less ran at the same time. It started with them selling the 30+ players to our league clubs but the tv money generated and the sheer global reach of the premier league thru sky meant it was going to get bigger and bigger.

Huge oversight to not include Italia 90. This tournament coincided with a societal shift to how football was perceived. It also was the catalyst for international players to transition between countries and provided a great platform for Serie A's superstars.

The people from UEFA saw the writing on the wall and decided to join the wagon early on. Unfortunately there are big downsides as well. With the exception of the occasional genius, modern football is more and more about athletics (and lately theatrics) than about talent and art. As profits rise and game frequency goes up, players lose motivation and fans treat football more like a boring porn actress rather than a beautiful woman with whom they have a romantic dinner.

This is only partially correct. One match and one person changed football and it happened before 1991. In 1987 Real Madrid beat Napoli in the first round of The European Cup and one guy who had nothing to do with either team was outraged. His name was Silvio Berlusconi and he was horrified that the Champions of Serie A could be knocked out of Europe in the middle of September. He therefore pushed for a seeding system with more teams qualifying and Group Stages for a new 'Champions League'. This would ensure that the top teams got at least 6 games in Europe every year and would be unlucky to be knocked out. He also owned a TV network that would benefit from showing all these games...and so we started on the slippery slope to where we are today.

First WC of the new decade, European friendly KO times, marketed well, a crossover between sport & mainstream culture; this tournament also coincided with a societal shift to how football was perceived. It also was the catalyst for international players to transition between countries and provided a great platform for Serie A's International superstars.

@@mediacenterman8583 definitely. Very good comment. Gazza probably got his move to Lazio because of his performances in the 1990 World Cup, ditto David Platt moving to Bari. My favourite World Cup was the 1986 tournament but I would say the 1990 one was a better tournament.

I was 13 at the time, but there was basically zero football available in America at that point. I literally didn't know club football existed and thought the only football was the world cup. The frigging dark ages. Still cheered hard for Germany anyway ;)

One day we'll watch this video and reminisce about the "old days" with no Super League or joint leagues like the BeneLiga

I personally think this video should have been called the death of true football, trust me 80's football was dope, now its just a few super leagues, for example the 1987 UEFA Cup Final was between Dundee United 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 vs IFK Goteborg 🇸🇪, that just wouldn't happen now 😢

I preferred it prior to 1992. The European Cup was a very Stella competition to win. Just to get in you had to be a champion of your domestic league.

@@dwkickoff Your missing the point. You have picked 1 final from 1991. What about all the rest of the finals. The standard of competition was much higher nothing was guaranteed. Just look at Liverpool in their dominant period they went out a few times to sides like CSKA Sofia & Nottingham Forest. Modern day group stages are rubbish because they are structured so that certain sides get through. Back than just to get in you had to be Champions of your country. None of this finishing in the top four crap. Modern day European football certainly in the group stages is awful and boring to watch because it is predictable. It’s just about the rich getting richer & who cares about the rest.

@@dwkickoff to be fair the prospect of an "underdog" winning is tantalizing and adds to the beauty of football competitions imo (even though having players like sinisa mihajlovic is not bad at all) . This is nowadays much much more difficult and I'd argue the last time it really happened was 2004 with Porto and Greece. Since then the effects of these changes have gone too far to allow this, up to the point where it's almost always the same group of big teams reaching the semi finals in the UCL. And one year where it might happen, e.g. Dortmund 2013, soon after the richer clubs are in a hunt after their players. While today's format is great for revenue and entertainment of the casual fan, imo it has hurt the competition and has led to the starvation of the different european football philosophies and traditions in favour of a stable select elite of clubs.

@@dwkickoff Red Star played offensive-minded through the whole competition except the final. So you are telling me that a team that consisted of players such as Savicevic and Jugovic, who both won "the" Champions league later in their career alongside all other great players would have no chance in modern football. It is just delusional to think that way.

Yeah, may as well use the old league format where you earn 2 points for winning a match instead of 3 points. also get rid of backpass foul so goalkeepers can play around until the end whistle. 😂

1992. The backpass rule! Nothing actually changed football on the pitch itself as much as the backpass rule.

we want more info, thanks.

2.5 billion/year. Imagine how greedy UEFA is. Probably no more overhead than office expenses, making mountains of money off of clubs with massive expenses, not doing a thing to help clubs during the pandemic, and even threatening them with punishment for daring to consider a more equitable arrangement.

Man, the fresh prince theme song was on point.

It’s not mentioned here but the first champions league in 1992/93 did not feature a single English club in the final group stage, But it did in fact feature a Scottish club, Glasgow Rangers were within ninety minutes of reaching the 1st champions league final, A draw against Marseille put an end to the Rangers dream as the club went out on the away goal rule, But were unbeaten in the tournament As it turned out later Marseille ended up winning the CL with a 1-0 victory over AC Millan but should have stripped of their victory by UEFA after allegations of match fixing were proved to be true.

Mark Hateley spoke of a telephone call he received from someone saying whey would put &50K his way if he feigned injury and didn’t play against Marseille, The night before the big game in France. Mark told them where to go.

Back then it was more about the game itself and passion. Today it's just a business. I feel the next milestone was the 2006 World Cup. Football changed even more after that World Cup with investors starting to pure money into the game.

Stop using the high pitched noise as background noise.

Its funny how the NFL and how it was broadcast was the inspiration for changes in 92.

The Covid pandemic was the perfect opportunity for FIFA, UEFA and the FA's of each domestic league to reset and make sure football clubs are financially more stable by forcing wage caps and also limit agent fees for a couple of years until the debts are reduced but when you have out-of-touch and weak leadership in all levels of football then it will lead to unsustainable and unexciting football which could have BAD consequences.
