Pounds make prizes: Bolton boss Megson claims cash is behind Premier League's Euro dominance

Bolton manager Gary Megson believes English domination of the Champions League is purely down to money.
An English club has reached the final every year since 2005 and supplied three of last year's semi-finalists. Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have all booked their places in next Friday's quarter-final draw and Megson believes the Barclays Premier League is now comfortably the strongest league in the world.
'It's money, pure and simple. If the money wasn't here the foreign players would be playing in their own countries,' said Megson.

'It is a big draw as it is in every walk of life and we have got the wealthiest league in the world, so it attracts the best players in the world. We have to realise how impressive the Premier League is to the rest of the world.'
And Megson believes the success of the four English clubs in the Champions League highlights how difficult it is for the rest of the Premier League to compete domestically.
'It should temper some of the expectations of a lot of Premier League teams,' he said. 'When you look at what we are playing against week in, week out, Real Madrid (against Liverpool) can't handle it, Inter Milan (against United) can't handle it.
'The Premier League is the strongest league by a street and when Liverpool play as they did the other day that is how we are playing against them all the time. If Madrid can't handle it that shows how difficult it is for the rest of us.'

its an allegation, just like gerrard has an allegation hanging over him, is gerrard a classless bell end as well?

funny to see the supporter is not from manchester

Gerrard was called stupid for getting himself involved in something within a group and has pleaded his innocence . We will have to wait and see what comes from this allegation . Guess the fan must of witnesses or something . If maureen has done something wrong then he will get punished and labelled as such if not then he will just carry on - but im pretty sure people who are calling him a "clueless bellened" thought as much even before this episode .

well there seems to be no witnesses and the police have asked for cctv. innocent until proven guilty just like gerrard. the fact there are no injuries and its treated as common assault leads me to believe that if there was any contact it was minor. gerrard on the other hand has been charged with a serious assault that caused injuries and affray. both men are innocent until any guilt has been proven, however lets say gerrard gets found guilty, will he still be welcome at our club?

lets think before we speak about people accused of assault while one of our own is in a worse position.

well said Peewee. the hypocrisy amazes me sometimes.

One person has called him a classless bellend since the story broke , where as some thought that of him before anyway and i expect the person who did call him a classless bellend thought as much before the story broke so lets not be looking for some sort of fight that isnt there to begin with .And its only natural for people to defend their own while not defending someone who has feck all to so with the club . gerrard was or maybe is in the wrong just the same as with maureen.

well as always we will agree to disagree, but i am sure st mike can tell us what he thought beforehand

by **GYBS** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 3:44 pm

we will wait for St mike to clear things up then , either way its up to him what he thinks of the person in question . I think the guy was a pri ck even before the story broke - if it does stick and the allegation holds up then it just reafirms my feelings about the person .

The guy has a great record but he is an idiot of the highest order. In response to Peewee I'm not calling Maureen this in the response to the latest allegation which hasn't been proved. The guy has a history which means I'd want him nowhere near this club ever.

This country gave him a fantastic living yet he has the audacity to lie about the Berkshire ambulance service when Cech got that head injury and also lie about the Barcelona staff going into the referee's dressing room at half-time at the Nou Camp. He made those things up. There are many other incidents where he has behaved with no class aswell (his attacks on Wenger were ridiculously nasty and un-befitting of someone in his position).

The man is a complete cretin.

by **maypaxvobiscum** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 4:19 pm

actually, speaking of Wenger....i would love to have someone as influential and economical as him to be our manager. as for Jose, we're all humans and we do dumb things in life. maybe the fan was doing a GYBS and Jose got frustrated. come on surely many here knows it feels
