It's honestly baffling to me how their isn't a bigger uproar on this issue right now... English clubs are quite literally outspending other leagues by a metric of 2x or even more in some cases. Even smaller clubs from England are able to spend 40M to get the players they want and these are clubs that no one knows about outside of England.
Premier League fans are very vocal and quite hostile towards the Saudi League for the same reason because they are doing the same thing PL has been doing to other European leagues in the past decade.
I get that EPL came to the top with honest work and I applaud them for it but there comes a time when the gap is getting so enormous that the authorities need to step in and rectify it before it's too late. Because if it continues like this then there is no need for a Champions League because clubs from the other European Leagues would be minnows compared to what English clubs can do.. at that point, it would be better to simply make PL the new UCL then because they would collectively have more talent than the rest of Europe....
I agree, but the PL fans are clearly not very open to SL. There has been numerous reports by English journalists on how the SL should be stopped before it starts getting younger talents from the PL so there is clearly very obvious concerns about it.
Spain and Italy, both took advantage of being at the top in their respective time. Italy was the best league in the world in the early 90s and Spain hit a peak during Ronaldo-Messi era. PL has hit it's peak too and is clearly attracting a wide range of talent right now. And good for them, but this time the gap is enormous, way more than it had been in the past, especially in terms of financial matters which is why it's concerning...
