A lot can change in 25 years but the feeling of loss of prestige and certainly the loss of serious revenue never changes over time so it should now be asked why clubs, especially Everton, and others who were banned from Europe for five seasons, did not launch compensation claims against Liverpool following the behaviour of their supporters at Heysel.
It was a different era back then I suppose, and clubs just took it on the chin. Competing in UEFA’s flagship tournament wasn’t the money-spinner that it is today either. I’m sure if Heysel and the ban on English clubs had happened in the present day, it might well be a different story.
