Does anyone know the reason behind their financial dominance back then? I'm guessing it wasn't broadcast revenue like it is now for us.
I remember a documentary about Italian football at the peak of Maradona at Napoli craziness and being aghast to hear that the cost of a ticket was the equivalent of £30. At the time, match day admission to the Holte was probably a fiver.
However, the main reason was clubs being bankrolled by the likes of the Agnelli family at Juve or Berlusconi at Milan.
