    with the PL being a de facto SL.

    The Premier League isn’t a “De facto super league”, it’s just the most successful league and that entirely comes from it’s own business model and the failings of the rest of Europe because they allowed greed to funnel every single resource they had into the top teams.

    Serie A were the biggest league in the world in the 90s, they had some of the most recognisable teams, the best players. But they couldn’t be happy with that. The match fixing scandal fucked them, the owners didn’t invest in the clubs, once legendary stadiums have begun to fall down.

    La Liga have arguably the two most iconic clubs in the world, they had the two biggest names in footballing history. They have had the lions share of every ballon d’or.

    Again, not enough for them. They needed more, and so they took more.

    The top of la Liga right now can’t even afford their own training grounds, whilst Barca is pulling it’s 22nd lever of the year.
