Aberdeen getting demolished in Athens and Rangers getting mulleted in Norway has nothing to do with the amount of money in the Prem.
If it's nothing to do with money why are the richest clubs winning the Champions League ?
The Premier League ?
Aberdeen got whacked because the standard of players are poor which comes down to money .
 
AEK had 73% possession and 5.13 xG. I honestly think City or another Championship club would put up more of a fight.

You think Norwegian clubs have more money than Rangers? Or Go Ahead Eagles have more money than Aston Villa? If the PL money is such a factor why have English clubs won the European Cup/ Champions League only 7 times in the 33 years of the PL? Yes, rich clubs tend to do better but it isn’t helping the PL particularly.

They obviously turned up and saw AEK and panicked thinking they were playing City.

If money doesn't count why aren't firmer giants like Ajax ,Benfica getting to finals .
There's also a sub plot here that means teams in lesser leagues that qualify for the Champions League but not getting anywhere near winning it are skewing their respective leagues .
Money talks
 
Brann 3-0 Shredded Wheat more like !

Brann translates as fire. The general consensus is shock at how poor Rangers were.. it's sort of been accepted since the 1990s that Scottish PL football was of higher quality than the Norwegian and Swedish leagues, but this probably will change now. Rangers wage bill is apparently 15-20 times what Brann are paying.
 
At a recent charity lunch/afternoon function Redknapp senior was billed as guest speaker...he had a better offer and was replaced by....John Barnes... apparently he was a poor speaker but was booed of the stage when he ended his session with a racist rant.


That’s all he ever does, can’t stand the ****. Gave that as the reason for getting sacked at Celtic. The fact the results were and the way the team played were appalling apparently had nothing to do with it.

Thanks to Kevin Thelwell and Martin getting rid of all of our best players and replacing them with utter ****e. 10 mil for Chermitti, he had a chance to score a header that by 80 year old Dad could have scored and he wouldn’t know how to header a ball to save his life. Thelwell is a ****ing disgrace and has taken Rangers back by about 15 years.
