And how many teams also affected by the events in Brussels have gone on to win things & be successful since 1985.

Massive fucking hole in any argument they have.

They weren't even the best team in their own city the year after. 

 

This myth that their side was broken up by the ban is one that they constantly peddle.  The ones that were sold were Gray, Mountfield and Richardson. Gray was about 33 and moved to Villa, Mountfield left to go to Villa about 3 years after Gray and Richardson went to Watford. So how did the European ban affect them when they moved to other mid table English teams, who were coincidentally banned from Europe?.

 

They stayed together to win the league in 1987 after they doubled their money after one season on Gary Lineker. They wasted that money on average players. 

 

The only player of that era who went abroad was Adrian Heath who had a brief spell with those European giants Espanyol. The majority of the 1985 team played against Liverpool in the 1989 FA Cup Final. 

 

Listening to Evertonians, and my uncle has banged on about this for years, you would think that they were the 1991 Red Star Belgrade team who were picked apart by top Italian and Spanish clubs. 

 

They also had roughly the same amount of money Liverpool did around that time as both of us sold our star strikers for big money but we reinvested it better.

Yep.  Barnes, Beardsley and Aldridge were bought with the Rush money.  Then to rub salt in the wounds we thought fuck it, and brought Rush back as well.

That would be the only reason they have any chance of signing him. 

Behave lad, Hamez had a word lad, told him to go to the best club in England and how he was welcomed with open arms and he would still be there ahead of the redshite and challenging for all trophies if Rafael hadn't binned him off.
