		Is it about The Football League in which case it should have the history of that organization.
		The Football League has a long and rich history history in its own right and it seems a bit of a shame to lump this in with discussion about the "modern upstart" The Premiership.
		It seems to me that virtually all football records belong to the Football League era, and this is likely to remain the case.

	Qualify for the Champions League
		So the number of clubs participating in the Champions league is not necessarily proportional to the number of teams competing in the domestic league.
		What has remained to be uniform in the league rules is that a win would earn 3 points for a team, a draw would earn 1 and a loss would earn nothing.
		For example, in a league that has only 4 teams who play each other twice if we are to choose 2 qualifiers, we would say that the 2nd team would require at least 5 points to qualify.

	CNN.com - Italian football's fading fortunes - August 22, 2002
		With eight of Italy's top-flight members unable to secure pay-per-view television deals, the Italian Football League voted to postpone the first round of matches by two weeks until September 15, granting precious extra time for those clubs to secure broadcasting contracts on which their survival could depend.
		The league has also called on Italy's government to declare a state of crisis in the football industry, permitting tax concessions and other benefits for clubs on the brink of bankruptcy.
		Italian clubs featured in every Champions League final except one between 1989 and 1998 but Juventus was the last Italian winner in 1996.

	Read comments about the review at dooyoo.co.uk Italian League Football Teams
		Whether the Italian national team played boring football or not is a matter of opinion but you have to admit that players like Francesco Totti and Alessandro Del Piero are exciting to watch.
		However, there are Italian clubs such as Roma, Juventus or Parma whose backbones are made of Italian players just as there are English clubs (Arsenal, Chelsea) that are almost entirely made up of what could only be described as mercenaries.
		When you look at the Italian and, to a lesser extent, Spanish leagues as wholes, you'll see that youth development is a lot better elsewhere in Europe.

		In the war that followed (the War of the Three Henrys), the League and the king were technically allied, but the League assumed the right to dictate, forcing the king to leave Paris (1588) and to renew his previous concessions.
		This dictation led Henry to order the assassination of Henri de Guise, who was succeeded at the head of the League by his brother Charles, duc de Mayenne.
		After the accession (1589) of Henry IV, the League controlled all the large cities, including Paris, and had the active support of Philip II of Spain, who sent Alessandro Farnese to Mayenne's aid.

		Greed and mismanagement turned the team from a dominant powerhouse into the whipping boy of the league, and despite a bold effort to try to rebuild itself, the team has basically opted to try to relive past glories rather than really focusing on the future.
		Verdy Yomiuri -- a deliberate misspelling of the Italian word for "green" to match the color of their uniforms -- captured the first two J.League championships, in 1993 and 1994.
		As the league started to retrench, Verdy found itself with a lot of aging stars whose performance no longer matched their high salaries, and who seemed to want to party and preen for photographers more than play football.

	Guardian Unlimited Football \| News \| Football: Champions League: Ferguson wants another Italian job in Milan
		The night everyone talks about is still Roy Keane and his side coming back from two goals down against Juventus and if United, Chelsea or Arsenal are going to overcome deficits against Milan, Barcelona and Bayern Munich respectively, one senses it will take a performance of similar magnitude.
		I know there are other good teams around - Barcelona, for one - but I think the mental toughness of the two teams in our game is what sets them apart.' Ferguson is possibly becoming a little fanciful if he thinks his side can match Milan for mental toughness.
		Andrei Shevchenko, with 17 goals so far this season, will still be missing with a fractured cheekbone but Milan have actually played better in a 4-3-2-1 formation than with two strikers this season.

	English Football :: Champions League Draw, UEFA Club Rankings
		Manchester United have finished 3rd in the English Premier League each of the last two seasons and have not advanced past the quarter finals in the Champions League over that time, but they are given a #1 seed.
		This discrepancy means that teams earning automatic qualification for winning their leagues (like Chelsea, Lyon, and Juventus) can be ranked lower than other teams from the same league that had to go through the qualifying rounds just to make the tournament (like Inter Milan, Liverpool, and Manchester United).
		When the system that's in place produces results like this (the 3rd place team in Italy seeded higher than the Italian Champions, the English Champions seeded lower than the 5th place team from England), it's time to rethink the rationale for the UEFA club rankings.
