Well it’s also cause they have a humongous foreign tv contract in America, and none of the other leagues do.

@@amanwholikescars well both La Liga and the Bundesliga have tv contracts in America and yet nothing has changed. ESPN covers both. Pfft

@@runrafarunthebestintheworld their contracts are tiny in comparison

That's a delusions because the share structure is basically the same, you roughly have the same top 4 or top 6 based on spending. Share structures doesn't meant shit when in EPL 90% of the time, same teams get way better money. You're waffling when Man C won 4 our of 5 EPL titles & they got a better money reward from winning it.

The Premiere League is just way easier to follow because there is just so much content, streams, pundit, articles available in a language I understand (aka English) while if I want to follow Serie A or La Liga I wouldn't know where to go.

This is a really silly take and it lacks internal logic. You say a problem is the foreign ownership and then go on to say that other countries (Germany) can only blame themselves for not loosening regulations - thereby also becoming part of the problem. Also, other countries have to focus on domestic talents, because international scouting is more expensive and you compete with other (read: English) clubs for signing talents - which continental clubs are going to lose 9/10 times. The focus isn’t by choice.

Pls tell me why clubs on the continent are struggling.

@@Brotbart I truly believe that if Serie wasn't hit by a massive corruption scandal every 10 years, they would be close to the premier league right now. The last two seasons of Serie A were very entertaining and they were gathering a lot of supporters, but, this season, yet again, we have a massive corruption scandal that affects their reputation. 10 years ago, when La Liga was by far the most successful and rich league in the world, Real and Barca used that to boost their own bank accounts and get a stranglehold on the league. Well, now, the chicken came home to roost. They have 6 interesting games to sell, because the rest of the league was driven into poverty by the same clubs complaining they the league is weak. The fact that in 2021 both Real and Barca received more TV rights money than Man City (the champion), while the last placed la liga team received less than half than what Norwich got. Is this not worrying? A balanced spread of the money would not fix the problem immediately, just how Real and Barca running the league didn't ruin it in a year. Also, the influence that Barca and Real have on mass media is actually scary. 14 years ago Real was buying two ballon d'aur winners in a single summer window. Barca and real were spending 100mil+ 10 years ago, ransacking clubs in europe, even premier league clubs, but no one was talking about salary caps and spending caps back then. Now that they are on the receiving end of that, they have the la liga president publicly coming out and complaining that Real couldn't get mbappe for free. This is wild.

I’m assuming you’re based in India so Can I ask you of the leagues you watch which is the most entertaining ie which league do you enjoy watching the most?

Technical quality wise hands down it’s La Liga but yeah Prem has more glamour to it

Frankfurt beating West Ham in the Europa League was the best win for football and the sport.

True, the honor and nobility of Bayern financially doping their way to dominance with their sponsorships. They'll win the league by 10+points again

@Joe May being a well run financially stable business isn't doping lol literally the opposite

Your first paragraph is exactly what I was thinking. But I was thinking more of Spain that anyone else. Real and Barca got their 66% of revenue, all the while being criminally run, as has been highlighted by Barca's recent financial troubles. Using their reputation and political connections to borrow and live well outside their means and covid put paid to that way of thinking. But how they've continued has shown they haven't learned a thing. You also have to look at the Spanish third tier's possible collapse, to see how the funding works in Spain.

What are you talking about? Competitiveness in the PL? There’s no such thing. There is no competition. There’s always a clear winner between the Big 5. You don’t see a team that is 16th suddenly become top 4. Now that is competition

@@robert2690 What about the team in 11th? Because that's where Newcastle finished last season. And "there's always a clear winner" is there? Liverpool literally finished one point behind City in two of the last four seasons. Did you envision Liverpool and Chelsea struggling in 9th and 10th at the start of the season? The PL is ruthless because if you slip up and hit a bad patch of form you get punished. Anyone can beat anyone, Brentford have beaten Man United, Man City and Liverpool (thrashing both United and Liverpool) and drawn with Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea just this season. You're crackers if you don't think that's competitive.

@@robert2690 Leicester City 2014/2015 came 14th. Leicester City 2015/2016 were champions. They didn't do it consistently, but it would appear to counter your argument. You don't see this in the other leagues. Also, in the last 20 years in La Liga, four different teams have won the league. In the same time scale, 7 teams have won the Premier League. In the Bundesliga, it's 6 teams, but Bayern have won the last ten. In Serie A it's only 3 teams. Ligue 1 it's 7 teams.

I highly doubt that . Right now based on form, one would love to watch Napoli vs Real Madrid than Liv vs Mancity . That too if it happens more frequently in ESL. Which wasn't the case in UCL.

Nah the Prem is very popular in Africa, Asia and even the rest of Europe, much more so than any other league, mainly because the quality is just much higher across the board.

Leicester city won the league soon after being promoted, but there’s no parity? Ok Jim

@@pstratos7 Once in 30 years... that was an exception, and no other team has even come close...

@@mezombart0423 a bigger upset than any champion of any league over the last 30 years too, and people watch the premier league more because the level is higher

@@theblackswordsman9951 it is but i do believe the us accounts for about half of if not most of the overseas tv rights... and much higher across the board? la liga is pretty damn good... i don't think the other leagues are AS far behind as people like to think

I think another way to look at the quality of competition at display is that of the last 10 UCL finalists 7 have been English teams with 4 different clubs. No other league has more quality players competing by miles

@@palashrawat401 Well why use the last 10 finalists Out of the last 10 finals 6 winners have been Spanish teams. But regardless that has nothing to do with the competitiveness of the league itself. These teams in the final are the best 4 teams in the league, consistently. And the rest of the league 16 teams are not on the same level. If you have the same teams, competing at tye same level, every year in the league, there is no much competition As we can see by the Wimmer software the smaller European competitions.

@@anjolatope-babalola2338 You do only realise that's it's only 2 teams that have won it from Spain in that period. That duopoly and other likes it need to be broken

@@anjolatope-babalola2338 and how many different Premier league finalists in the last 4 yrs. Contrast to how many la liga finalists in a decade of dominance, don't forget a decade

Yh the "dominance" is an absolute myth, 2ucl titles in 10 years and 3 europa titles in the same time period tells the truth.

That's what makes it crazy. From a sporting perspective England aren't dominating, only financially, so all this has nothing to do with the sport it's just a money grab

@@twenty2143 if you look at the list of champions league semi finalists, that's quite a dominance even though they have not win it all at the end

@@crkan0608 surely those who have actually won it is more a measure of "dominance"...both english clubs in ucl this week looked really "dominant"...

​@@twenty2143 in another perspective. Over the past 5 seasons of champions league , 7 of 20 semi finalists were english teams, as well as 6 of 10 finalists. That is significantly more than any other leagues.

Share where and with who though? It's a hard thing to work out. Real and Barca aren't willing to share their tv revenue with the smaller clubs in their league, yet English clubs should share their TV revenue with them? The whole top 5 league thing has ruined European football anyway, why not share the money with Scotland and Netherlands rather than Spain and Italy. Football is a mess and its depressing

@@samuelloification2749 I appreciate fully that it is complicated, and by no means should they be the only ones involved in this, I think ALL top flight leagues in europe should be involved in some way. If I was asked for a solution I would say that ALL top flight leagues must put 75% of their international tv rights into a big pot and the total amount is then divided equally between all the nations - who then have to divide their share equally with all their top flight teams. That provides a boost to smaller countries who will get more back than they put in, creates a degree of parity in one sense, and reduces the enormous income of bigger nations, which is necessary even though they wont like it. If wealth sharing doesn't happen, a super league will.

@@NayC13 would love something like this. It's sad but very much feels like the horse has bolted

@@samuelloification2749 probably, yes. My prediction is that the rest of europe will combine to exclude the english. because the gap is too big financially. I don't support the super league but one of their points is that clubs should have more control over competitions and revenue - and that uefa should not be the organiser AND the regulator - and these points are not extreme.

EPL clubs make a profit, they generate revenue because domestic and international TV deals shit on others. Stick with the facts and not your feelings

Their tv revenues are way ahead of any leagues in the world.

@@Mr91Jmay I can tell you’re a republican voter 🤡

@@robert2690 I can tell you don't understand numbers and data

Yeah a shit league with no competition with a duopoly won those European trophies cuz most of the teams were tired come may

Its all about money/finance, that's what decides what happens, not trophies

1. They prioritise the premier league trophy 2. They don’t have all their eggs in one basket, the talent is spread throughout the premier league rather then pumped into 1/2 teams 3. Messi and ronaldo have been dominating UCL at their Spanish teams

That’s the whole point, Super League advocates are only concerned with how much money they can’t make. Prestige via trophies is still available

That's Past. Now la liga clubs are financially struggling. Super League is the answer.

Except this time it’s for good. The income gap is so big and growing very fast. Other European leagues will not be able to close it anytime soon.

What a lazy argument lol. You are clueless

Who cares about stadiums. Most people watch it in tvs.

Better Atmosphere?? That's debatable!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong. But are you suggesting that UEFA is tasked with being a regulatory body only and not what it is now, a profit-driven organisation? Because if you are, I agree. The FIA (the regulatory body of motorsport) was forced to sell the F1 brand to Bernie Ecclestone. F1 since the Liberty media takeover is far more sustainable making it more attractive to investors. It is possible that Uefa can enforce regulation on European football as a whole to make it more sustainable for everyone. The only issue being the three remaining Super League clubs are not actually interested in sustainability. They simply want to be able to compete financially with the premier league clubs.

@@jcnjolomba Pretty much.They should be in charge of all the leagues as an overseer and enforce a salary and spending cap (which would be a fixed figure regardless of how much revenue you generate) that all clubs have to follow and the money UEFA generates themselves through the champions league dispersed to smaller clubs and country's across the continent so more clubs can compete. Bascially the're job would be to ensure revenue generation is not what dictates success(which is the case currently)

Why would the premier league agree to that? They soon will make more money than all other European league combined.

Real Madrid and Barca have won it. Real Madrid more. Don't be ret a r d ed

@@MrGts92 woosh

So you're saying Real Madrid, Bayern, Milan, Inter, Juventus & many big clubs around Europe to turn themselves into clubs that can be farmed & raided by EPL clubs? Mate, that means football is dead in Europe if that happens.

They do have a better business model in Germany and the ticket prices are more affordable too .

Just say you have not watched other leagues & zip it. Bayern, Real Madrid & etc has lost games to clubs in different positions. Even peak Barca & Real Madrid would struggle vs relegation sides.

@@decode3667 Let's get this straight. The champions of the last decade in the top 5 leagues are as follows: Bundesliga: Bayern 10 English Premier League: Manchester City 5, Chelsea 2, Liverpool 1, Manchester United 1, Leicester 1 La Liga: Barcelona 5, Real Madrid 3, Atlético Madrid 2 Ligue 1: PSG 8, Monaco, 1, Lille 1 Serie A: Juventus 8, Inter 1, Milan 1 Napoli can be the outlier this season in Serie A. Apart from that, I don't see any outliers in any big league anymore. In EPL, arguably Arsenal can replace City as the champions this season. Chelsea and Liverpool aren't even at top 6 at the moment. There are at least 7 teams which can have the budget to go for the title every season (how they perform is another matter). Losing a game or two can happen. Having different teams that can realistically challenge for title is another story. And in any other league, big clubs can almost get the players from teams at the lower table quite easily. I am not sure if it can happen in EPL anymore.

It’s not that easy. The Prem benefits from English being the lingua franca of the world and of a colonial heritage that puts a huge part of the world closer to the UK than to Germany or Italy. This won’t change regardless of football quality. La Liga is so dominant in Latin America for the same reason.

I think what they're getting at is that leagues want to disperse revenue more fairly between teams without financially hurting their 'nest eggs' so to speak, La Liga in particular doesn't want hamstring Real & Barca's chances in the CL, which obviously reflects very well upon the league when they win it.

@@AnonNomad they spend too much the big clubs of EPL will be broke in five years and the rest of Europe with money, lukaku is just a patron no a exception

Check how many times English teams have been in ucl finals since 2005 and if u look at the last 4 years 2 ucl finals were an all English final and if Man City beat Madrid last season than 3 of the last 4 ucl finals would of been all English final, English sides are improving a lot
