This past month I’ve gone to a Wednesday and Deportivo game, the lower tiers are where the real heart is left and it would be devastating to see these teams gutted by this reorganization
What is happening to those lower level clubs are happening to clubs in the bundesliga too. Bundesliga has no billionaires backing them and instead value all fans getting to experience affordable matchdays. They cannot compete in transfer windows against these premier league clubs and are priced out.
Interesting. I recollect that Newcastle's new owners categorically stated they did not want to join a Super League nor did they want to move from St James' Park despite difficulties in expanding it. Their repurchase of land sold by Ashly shows they meant the latter. Hopefully they also meant their statement about the Super League.
I'm an Argentinian man, but I have to admit that English football league is the best in the World. So I highly agree with everything you said. However, I think that Champions league is more in danger, and it's a pity because Champions league has a very long history, with great stories for instance the Nottingham Forest's ones. Those small teams will never win an important championship again, just because they won't even have the chance. I don't like it, Football must keep open for everyone.
Prem is only best because of their oil and American owners. And prem is the one which caused this. Champions League itself is going to have a terrible format in near future also teams like forest will now get more opportunity in the champions League. And who knows they might strike a deal where clubs like forest who win the champions League will get opportunity in the super league after that, this does sound good more middle table and lower clubs will get a chance to win champions leagues and get financial might rather than just waiting for an oil or American owner to buy them out like top prem clubs.
@@mtk3755 Why do you think those rich Americans and Oil Tycoons bought the Prem in the first place...? Because it's an incredibly competitive league and always has been extremely lucrative.
@@mtk3755 all prem clubs can easily outbid any team from other leagues and you are saying forest they signed 11 or maybe 13 signings and just signed keylor Navas, leeds bought mckennie from Juventus this super league is not for prem clubs it is for European clubs

liverpool, ars, and even MU will struggle if oil clubs and rich owners keep pumping more and more money in. If UEFA and any league cant do sht about FFP and punish those clubs with unlimited budget, then ESL is inevitable.
Not really worried coz the prem made the big six agree that any team that tries to join the SL gets a 30 point deduction. Everybody but City should be fine and not willing to risk it.
@@prdigy2655 don’t see negotiating working out ngl. Every other club in the league would protest to this and in short would cause the downfall of the league and it’s revenue
@@samzh0174 the fans don't have half as much power as they used to in the past. Many fans abroad wouldn't mind a super league. The clubs would make huge profits with those fans alone. This is going to happen sooner or later. They'll just change the terms so they won't completely lose the fans
Any one of these big clubs could and should save Southend (apart from Man Utd of course, as we're basically broke right now)... You can't just let a club cease to exist, with all their history.
@@glazersout4272 no club that isn’t a major affiliate that basically depends on another club for something they can’t provide for themselves would bother doing that. Nobody depended on Bury for anything and unfortunately no bigger clubs depend on Southend Utd either. If it were a team like Santos, Benfica, PSV or even Dynamo Kyiv where in recent history they’ve been the stepping stones of world class players to the top 5 leagues then you can assume elite clubs will want to provide some backing in hopes to be getting first opportunity at rising stars.
There’s nothing like playing a team like Leeds at Old Trafford with the twist and turns and the chants and atmosphere. The super league would not just take this away but make it mean nothing
I remember going to games in the 60's/70's & 80's when football was an affordable day out, a dad could afford to take his lads to watch a game and tickets were always easy to get... Then along came the Premier League and Sky, ploughing in billions of £££'s and ultimately sending the price of attending games sky rocketing. The average Joe cannot afford to go to the games week in week out like he used to, even if he could get tickets. Now it's all season ticketed, corporate boxes and matchday experience packages... if you can't get tickets you have to pay to watch it on Sky. Imagine how much it would cost to watch a super league game, plane fares, hotels, tickets etc... The Premier League and Sky took matchdays away from a lot of people.. A Super League would take it away from the rest.
As a german im glad that we have the 50+1 rule. Premier League is entertaining to watch but its just an investors game who always will be wanting the super league. Id rather have 50+1 rule and good crowds in the Bundesliga than european competition like super league.
If ESL happens and Bayern are not in it then it's game over for them. You can bet anything they'll try their level best to join if it happens otherwise they'll just become a feeder club for the ESL superclubs like today's Bundesliga is to bayern
I think that the big 6 owners are less likely to join the super league after what the fans did. The officially withdrew from the idea when the fans stormed the streets, man united fans even stormed their own stadium and got a whole game postponed during lockdown. If they were to turn back and try to rejoin their super league, the resulting downfall would be ridiculous. The fa also said they would kick them out of the league, and backing their word it would be the end of big 6 playing domestic football
@@Kushagra.j even without the Super league, in the long run it will be very difficult for the top clubs (Bayern, real, barca etc) to keep up because the pl is basically a super league but exclusive to english teams. PL top teams are way richer than other leagues top teams (besides psg) and this will only get worse. But well, up to this day Bayern and Real have been able to stay at the top because they use their money better. But longterm it will be difficult. Dont need no super league to destroy the international competition, the pl is already doing that with their oil money.
You’re making it sound like The Prem want English teams to join the ESL. SL was set up to destroy the prem and they’re threatening to punish English clubs that do want to break away.
As much as this super league is a horrid idea, I think if it did go ahead, then all the English teams should just send a squad of under 21’s and not take the manager or any main staff. This idea if not stopped needs to be humiliated and undermined. If the teams don’t want to play (which should be the English clubs), then devalue it to the crap idea that it is
You do realize that football clubs are a business and the only reason epl clubs are against because they have more money than everyone else do you think it's good for football that nottingham forest have more money to spend than AC Milian ?
Ain't this what pre season is for. As an international fan that's the limit you'd want, remember when Liverpool came to South Africa it was amazing once opportunity thing which made special!
What Mark fails to mention is the capital injections some of the biggest clubs in the PL get. These clubs get 100's of millions to spend with bare minimum rules to stop them. The fact that Chelsea can go and spend 600m in 6 months is insane, regardless of whatever loophole they use. Clubs like Villarreal that made it into the semi's of the UCL last season and won UEL the season before can't spend 25m to retain one of the players that helped them get success (Lo Celso) so they have to keep loaning him. The Super League isn't perfect but something needs to be done so that smaller clubs can make more of an impact. Another note is Nottingham Forest have spent more than Barca and Bayern, even though they've just joined the PL and are in a relegation battle.
Actually, he's completely wrong about that. For one, the leagues are not destroying themselves, the PL is destroying other leagues by throwing ridiculous amounts of money at all the best players from other leagues to join the PL. And also, nobody wants their league to sell themselves out for oil money, except for the pl of course. Neither the fans nor the leagues want that. However, because the pl is destroying football and international competition with their ridiculous amounts of money, some top clubs fear that in the long run, they wont be able to keep up in european football, which is why they want the super league. Thats just a few Clubs tho, not whole leagues and definitely not the fans. And clearly, its the PL and their oil money that caused all of this. This has nothing to do with leagues messing their own leagues up or whatever. The PL is the problem because they put money over the love for football which lead to this crazy development.
As a fan of football who lives outside the UK my dream is to attend a PL game in England at Anfield or even Old Trafford! I'm not interested in seeing teams anywhere else even if it were down the street from me.

As someone who lives in Australia this could be such a good chance to be able to watch big football games in our backyard, not get up at 3:00 AM and grow Australia football fan base, but still I absolutely don’t want the super league I rather get up at 3 in the morning every week just to watch Chelsea play Southampton and lose, it’s genuinely a disgrace
It’s important to note that every current owner in the premier league has signed and agreed to not be allowed to join a new super league, they have pledged their future and loyalty to the premier league
It makes sense that teams from Spain, Italy are trying to create this league. The Premier league in the past few years has gone up another level and now a mid table prem team has more power and money than the strongest teams from other countries. They are trying to stay relevant
Chelsea january window blew every other league in the world out of the water with the spending combined these small clubs like Madrid barca juve are in the mud
The issue is the primacy of the Premier League is unassailable for as long as financial limits are different in each league. I too would love to see other divisions as competetive as ours, but I can't exactly see the premier league as blameless in perpetuating the situation with the amount we spend and the 'light touch' financial regulation in place at the moment. This thing with City is just more evidence of that in my opinion.
The analogy used is so damn hilarious... 'okay, Varane and Martinez will play for the Super League and Maguire and Lindelof will play for Premier League...' LOL
I saw the cheapest tickets for West Ham vs Chelasea were about a 100 GBP, at my club (Frankfurt) they start at 18€ per seat. Idk how many working class ppl can afford it but if that's "a league that has succeeded" I hope the Bundesliga will remain a farmers league forever.
Frankfurt is the equivalent of a Championship team in England. That's where you're going wrong; with a false comparison. Frankfurt do no have people trying to bite your hands of for tickets. West Ham v Chelsea, does. And people who live in the area often just buy from Season Ticket holders on the cheap anyway
I'm a woman I love football I will be with any football supporter to go to the ground to stop them LOVE is our game football God bless you all freedom Xx
The prem was formed for money though and even called the super league during early proposals, it was in a nutshell the bigger clubs wanting a bigger share of more money (back then they were called the big 5, Man United, Spurs, Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool). People look back and think it's fine because it worked out in the end that the Premier League then sat above the Championship and came to an agreement with the EFL. But they were willing to break away from that to secure the large TV deal, the idea being they'd only show games involving the top teams, thus they'd bag the money. There was zero money in English football in the 80s, especially while English clubs were banned from European comps - as that was lifted in 1990, the big owners demand for more money increased and ultimately we get the Premier League and massive TV deals. You describe the Prem as the current super league which is interesting, because look at the league. 2 English managers currently in the top 10, how many star players are English? How many owners are English? How many fans are based in England? Why does this matter? Because if the managers, players, owners and fans are foreign, of course they'll welcome the chance of getting to see their club. Clubs are businesses and need/want international support - for some teams in the prem most of their fans will be overseas - not because they don't have fans in England or the UK, but they're a massive international brand and have been for decades now. I just think we're kidding ourselves if we think the prem will be the top flight league going forward. There's always bigger wealthier owners, there's always a bigger TV market... I'm not saying it should happen, but the prem was formed to make money, that's it. It didn't care about grass roots or Leicester being able to win a prem (or Blackburn back then), it was money. Why would that suddenly have changed?
The irony is that as a Man U fan, Goldbridge talks about the fanbase being global, but is opposed to the global fans having access to games that a select few are privileged to experience
Only England based PL fans r against ESL.. A utd fan sitting in Mumbai/Dubai/Sydney will ofc want Utd play in their local stadium.. After all, clubs have a huge global fanbase.
Superleague will not solve this problem because anyway only privileged people will be able to attend the games, because i doubt that they will be played in my town in Kazakhstan, for example. They will be played in places where other privileged people live, the problem will remain the same, but the money will flow and traditions will be ruined.
I think , it’s possible to fight this off . Bundesliga Clubs won’t join . PSG by the looks of things won’t join . And with the British govenent making it clear they won’t allow the prem to do so as well as there being a contractual obligation from the last debacle not allowing it
I totally agree with you. EPL is the superleague considering farmer club like Leeds can afford £40m purchases. The TV rights are well above every other leagues combined.

@@mtk3755 Think the Superleague teams should not play in their domestic league. And leave the rest to get on with it. Personally I think the Superleague will quickly become extremely boring for the real football fans, it will be just endless rounds of exhibition matches with no competition. And competition is what makes football the game it is.
The biggest problem is that if it happens then every owner of every 'big' club will want in. The owners will be worried about losing or not having the inevitable huge amounts of money that a SL will bring. Unfortunately money will do the talking on this as it did with the PL in the early 90's. This is inevitable i'm afraid.
@@kennyalpha22 the big clubs are not owned by the fans or by English people. The money in football is ruining the game and this will happen. It might not happen for 5 or 10 years but it will happen.

Very honest of you to hold the PL to the same ideal standard. Just like the big clubs broke out of the EFL and created their own thing, if the European Court rules in A22's favor, the ESL will definitely happen
As an Evertonian, I was quite excited by the prospect of 6 clubs leaving us to become one of the top teams again. But after the past 2 seasons, I think we'd rise to mid-table at best!
Great video as always Mark and im a Liverpool fan, I think the prem needs to do like the nfl with there ability to broadcast and market itself rather than use sky, bt or any other TV company, these companies are pushing for this aswell, also there greed is holding back the other leagues .
Mark made a great point with how amazing the prem is. From top to bottom, Leeds getting a draw at Old Trafford, Everton beating Arsenal, Chelsea being held down by mid table teams. The league is just so damn competitive, and HES RIGHT, every other league could take 10-15 years and turn themselves into the premier league! They just don’t want to!
The PL isn't successful because of their competitiveness. It generates more money because they have more big names. You think the average football casual is interested in a match like Everton vs Brighton, Brentford vs Leeds? No they want to see Arsenal vs Tottenham, the Manchester Derby, Man United vs Liverpool. And you have the most of that compared to other leagues. The problem for the other leagues is that you distributed that huge income equally so that even new teams like Nottingham have enough money to buy players which ended up in the top halves of the other leagues and play international football. I would also say that language is a good bonus for the interest in the PL. It's much easier for non football fans to get into the PL if they know some english. If you want to really follow the other leagues and get into it as a foreigner you would probably have to learn another second language besides english.
@@murasame1450 the epl is has a larger draw for one reason outside of their marketing and thats the language. English is the most tomorrow language spoken around the world after most countries native language. This connects people around the world due to understanding the same language. If the league wasn't in a English speaking country it be no different the the others in terms of popularity.
I am sorry I am a Madrid fan but the Spanish league in the Last 10 years have won 11 European trophies 5 champions league for Madrid 1 champions league for Barcelona 5 Europa league with Sevilla and Atlético Madrid combine while the premier have won 5 European trophies and you are still spending tons of money just to get dominant by Spanish football
You are saying that everyone is so jealous of the premier league which I agree. But it is so ironic that all the 19 teams and the premier league are jealous of Citys success.
This is not news. Barca, Real and the Italian clubs never pulled out and always said they’d go through with it. City don’t get away with anything. Fairly sure new rules were brought in that if they attempt to join a Super League they’ll be kicked out the Prem anyway. Win win for the rest of us.
You may call Spanish teams are not better than English clubs, but the fact remains that Manchester United were knocked out of Europe against Spanish side for five consecutive seasons. latest elimination at the hands of Atletico Madrid follows United’s European run being ended by Villarreal in 2021, Sevilla in 2020 and 2018 and Barcelona in 2019.
If only ppl were as concerned about their way of life that's about to come to a grinding halt because of "The Empire" then their football team going into a new competition... Crazy world!! 🤪
The EPL changed their charter after the last Super League attempt and made all clubs sign the new one, with Point 9 stating: "We are collectively committed to the Premier League and recognise our responsibility to support it. We will not engage in the creation of new competition formats outside the Premier League’s rules." Let's hope the EPL is able to hold the clubs to their pledge. 🤞
Really good analysis here. It seems to all make sense. These guys want more of the bigger clubs playing each other more often, similar to the NFL in America. I agree that I don't know if there's a way to stop it really.
That’s not really how the NFL works. They operate on a franchise basis with a completely different business model. Not really comparable to football leagues at all. I think the Super League is just a way of accessing US money.
@@theamericanbrotha it’s not necessarily bigger clubs playing each other more often, the whole thing is a monopoly. If the premier league ever converts to an NFL type system it would be hilarious.
So, basically you want the EPL super league to continue unhindered?? The EPL is already behaving like a super League! Teams like Chelsea can spend over 600Million pounds in one transfer window without even blinking an eyelid The money in EPL is making other European Leagues look like Sunday Social Leagues and something has to be done! Now they have this super league idea. For the global fan, Its a fantastic idea but for local UK fan, the idea is repulsive! By taking the super league around the globe will be the death of the EPL! I am not in the UK, so, I say bring me some Football super league!!

While Southend have 20 days to save their club, 60-80 clubs want to roll in billions.
Any one of these big clubs could and should save Southend (apart from Man Utd of course, as we're basically broke right now)... You can't just let a club cease to exist, with all their history.
@@glazersout4272 no club that isn’t a major affiliate that basically depends on another club for something they can’t provide for themselves would bother doing that. Nobody depended on Bury for anything and unfortunately no bigger clubs depend on Southend Utd either. If it were a team like Santos, Benfica, PSV or even Dynamo Kyiv where in recent history they’ve been the stepping stones of world class players to the top 5 leagues then you can assume elite clubs will want to provide some backing in hopes to be getting first opportunity at rising stars.

@@kennyalpha22 Ignore the trolls
@sam._sutcliffe thank you Sam, it sure does!
I want ESL
There’s nothing like playing a team like Leeds at Old Trafford with the twist and turns and the chants and atmosphere. The super league would not just take this away but make it mean nothing
I remember going to games in the 60's/70's & 80's when football was an affordable day out, a dad could afford to take his lads to watch a game and tickets were always easy to get... Then along came the Premier League and Sky, ploughing in billions of £££'s and ultimately sending the price of attending games sky rocketing. The average Joe cannot afford to go to the games week in week out like he used to, even if he could get tickets. Now it's all season ticketed, corporate boxes and matchday experience packages... if you can't get tickets you have to pay to watch it on Sky.
Imagine how much it would cost to watch a super league game, plane fares, hotels, tickets etc... The Premier League and Sky took matchdays away from a lot of people.. A Super League would take it away from the rest.
As a german im glad that we have the 50+1 rule. Premier League is entertaining to watch but its just an investors game who always will be wanting the super league. Id rather have 50+1 rule and good crowds in the Bundesliga than european competition like super league.
If ESL happens and Bayern are not in it then it's game over for them. You can bet anything they'll try their level best to join if it happens otherwise they'll just become a feeder club for the ESL superclubs like today's Bundesliga is to bayern
@@Kushagra.j tbf without bayern focusing on domestic league Bundesliga will become lot more interesting and we might see different winners.
I think that the big 6 owners are less likely to join the super league after what the fans did. The officially withdrew from the idea when the fans stormed the streets, man united fans even stormed their own stadium and got a whole game postponed during lockdown. If they were to turn back and try to rejoin their super league, the resulting downfall would be ridiculous. The fa also said they would kick them out of the league, and backing their word it would be the end of big 6 playing domestic football
@@Kushagra.j even without the Super league, in the long run it will be very difficult for the top clubs (Bayern, real, barca etc) to keep up because the pl is basically a super league but exclusive to english teams. PL top teams are way richer than other leagues top teams (besides psg) and this will only get worse. But well, up to this day Bayern and Real have been able to stay at the top because they use their money better. But longterm it will be difficult. Dont need no super league to destroy the international competition, the pl is already doing that with their oil money.
You’re making it sound like The Prem want English teams to join the ESL. SL was set up to destroy the prem and they’re threatening to punish English clubs that do want to break away.
As much as this super league is a horrid idea, I think if it did go ahead, then all the English teams should just send a squad of under 21’s and not take the manager or any main staff. This idea if not stopped needs to be humiliated and undermined.
If the teams don’t want to play (which should be the English clubs), then devalue it to the crap idea that it is

Clubs will have to register players/squad so that wouldn't work. 😁

Couldn't agree more mate.
Ain't this what pre season is for. As an international fan that's the limit you'd want, remember when Liverpool came to South Africa it was amazing once opportunity thing which made special!
What Mark fails to mention is the capital injections some of the biggest clubs in the PL get. These clubs get 100's of millions to spend with bare minimum rules to stop them. The fact that Chelsea can go and spend 600m in 6 months is insane, regardless of whatever loophole they use. Clubs like Villarreal that made it into the semi's of the UCL last season and won UEL the season before can't spend 25m to retain one of the players that helped them get success (Lo Celso) so they have to keep loaning him. The Super League isn't perfect but something needs to be done so that smaller clubs can make more of an impact.
Another note is Nottingham Forest have spent more than Barca and Bayern, even though they've just joined the PL and are in a relegation battle.
You're absolutely right about the other leagues messing up their leagues and wanting to think bigger.
He just said the prem have their own super league 😂😂
Prem is ruining Football..
@Yulds I have reported every comment of self promotion of yours on this channel, your immediate abstention would mean everything to me
Actually, he's completely wrong about that.
For one, the leagues are not destroying themselves, the PL is destroying other leagues by throwing ridiculous amounts of money at all the best players from other leagues to join the PL. And also, nobody wants their league to sell themselves out for oil money, except for the pl of course. Neither the fans nor the leagues want that. However, because the pl is destroying football and international competition with their ridiculous amounts of money, some top clubs fear that in the long run, they wont be able to keep up in european football, which is why they want the super league. Thats just a few Clubs tho, not whole leagues and definitely not the fans. And clearly, its the PL and their oil money that caused all of this. This has nothing to do with leagues messing their own leagues up or whatever. The PL is the problem because they put money over the love for football which lead to this crazy development.
Yes, happy he mentioned that because it's a main cause of this.

It makes sense that teams from Spain, Italy are trying to create this league. The Premier league in the past few years has gone up another level and now a mid table prem team has more power and money than the strongest teams from other countries. They are trying to stay relevant
Chelsea january window blew every other league in the world out of the water with the spending combined these small clubs like Madrid barca juve are in the mud
The issue is the primacy of the Premier League is unassailable for as long as financial limits are different in each league. I too would love to see other divisions as competetive as ours, but I can't exactly see the premier league as blameless in perpetuating the situation with the amount we spend and the 'light touch' financial regulation in place at the moment. This thing with City is just more evidence of that in my opinion.
The analogy used is so damn hilarious... 'okay, Varane and Martinez will play for the Super League and Maguire and Lindelof will play for Premier League...' LOL
I saw the cheapest tickets for West Ham vs Chelasea were about a 100 GBP, at my club (Frankfurt) they start at 18€ per seat. Idk how many working class ppl can afford it but if that's "a league that has succeeded" I hope the Bundesliga will remain a farmers league forever.
Then don't complain and moan about the Premier league making more money
They would of been executive tickets face value is 30-60£ for adult in England
English football is not for the working class anymore unfortunately
Frankfurt is the equivalent of a Championship team in England. That's where you're going wrong; with a false comparison. Frankfurt do no have people trying to bite your hands of for tickets. West Ham v Chelsea, does. And people who live in the area often just buy from Season Ticket holders on the cheap anyway

The prem was formed for money though and even called the super league during early proposals, it was in a nutshell the bigger clubs wanting a bigger share of more money (back then they were called the big 5, Man United, Spurs, Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool). People look back and think it's fine because it worked out in the end that the Premier League then sat above the Championship and came to an agreement with the EFL. But they were willing to break away from that to secure the large TV deal, the idea being they'd only show games involving the top teams, thus they'd bag the money.
There was zero money in English football in the 80s, especially while English clubs were banned from European comps - as that was lifted in 1990, the big owners demand for more money increased and ultimately we get the Premier League and massive TV deals.
You describe the Prem as the current super league which is interesting, because look at the league. 2 English managers currently in the top 10, how many star players are English? How many owners are English? How many fans are based in England? Why does this matter? Because if the managers, players, owners and fans are foreign, of course they'll welcome the chance of getting to see their club. Clubs are businesses and need/want international support - for some teams in the prem most of their fans will be overseas - not because they don't have fans in England or the UK, but they're a massive international brand and have been for decades now.
I just think we're kidding ourselves if we think the prem will be the top flight league going forward. There's always bigger wealthier owners, there's always a bigger TV market... I'm not saying it should happen, but the prem was formed to make money, that's it. It didn't care about grass roots or Leicester being able to win a prem (or Blackburn back then), it was money. Why would that suddenly have changed?

You’re right Mark. SAY NO TO SUPER LEAGUE
English teams have signed a agreement with the Premier League that they will not join a Super League.
The irony is that as a Man U fan, Goldbridge talks about the fanbase being global, but is opposed to the global fans having access to games that a select few are privileged to experience
Only England based PL fans r against ESL.. A utd fan sitting in Mumbai/Dubai/Sydney will ofc want Utd play in their local stadium.. After all, clubs have a huge global fanbase.
Superleague will not solve this problem because anyway only privileged people will be able to attend the games, because i doubt that they will be played in my town in Kazakhstan, for example. They will be played in places where other privileged people live, the problem will remain the same, but the money will flow and traditions will be ruined.
I think , it’s possible to fight this off . Bundesliga Clubs won’t join . PSG by the looks of things won’t join . And with the British govenent making it clear they won’t allow the prem to do so as well as there being a contractual obligation from the last debacle not allowing it
Every single top club will join in an heartbeat, hundreds of millions in revenue and the financial and governing freedom, its inevitable
I totally agree with you. EPL is the superleague considering farmer club like Leeds can afford £40m purchases. The TV rights are well above every other leagues combined.

The biggest problem is that if it happens then every owner of every 'big' club will want in. The owners will be worried about losing or not having the inevitable huge amounts of money that a SL will bring.

The league is just so damn competitive, and HES RIGHT, every other league could take 10-15 years and turn themselves into the premier league! They just don’t want to!
That's not exclusive to the EPL though. Mallorca just beat Madrid last weekend
The PL isn't successful because of their competitiveness. It generates more money because they have more big names. You think the average football casual is interested in a match like Everton vs Brighton, Brentford vs Leeds? No they want to see Arsenal vs Tottenham, the Manchester Derby, Man United vs Liverpool. And you have the most of that compared to other leagues. The problem for the other leagues is that you distributed that huge income equally so that even new teams like Nottingham have enough money to buy players which ended up in the top halves of the other leagues and play international football. I would also say that language is a good bonus for the interest in the PL. It's much easier for non football fans to get into the PL if they know some english. If you want to really follow the other leagues and get into it as a foreigner you would probably have to learn another second language besides english.
