    I love 'Soccernomics' but I'm dismayed that Stefan can't find any benefit to a system where all the clubs in a particular league have the same resources. I can think of dozens including the fact that sporting competitions are supposed to be competitive. Makes me think back to my childhood days picking teams for street hockey. We either picked 2 captains and had them pick in sequence Team A, Team B, Team B, Team A etc or we threw all the sticks in the middle and one guy closed his eyes throwing each stick towards one net then the other - if the teams weren't fair after 20 minutes we evened them up. Not once did we put the 6 best players on one team and the 6 worst players on the other.

Have something to say?
