The reason why English clubs are not successfull internationally is proably because their own league is so demanding, that they simply save their strength for national competition, ignoring Champions League altogether.

And this even makes financial sense, because winning Premier League pays much bigger money than winning Champions League.

That doesn't sound very plausible to me. There's a big scramble for the top 4 every year.
