Yet he still came back. Martin Jol has always said good things about, despite what happened. I can see him coming back when Redknapp retires. No other club comes to mind where so many people seem to like coming back.

It was a rhetorical question, not an insult. I do feel like you're trying to wind me up rather than debate IMO.

The top teams are raising the bar all the time, hence our record in europe. If uefa put enough money into the uefa cup (europa league from next season), teams would field stronger sides, and the premier league (in my opinion) would get even stronger than it already is. More money for the second tier in the league, would narrow the gap on the top tier (again, in my opinion).

Europe is another point. 3 in the semi final 2 years running and almost 2 English teams in the final 2 years running. Any way you look at it, lack of competition just isn't good for the sport or the fans.
