I don't think any European football fan thinks your leagues are positive. So owners can move AC Milan to Budapest when they see a market (since you can't qualify) and call it AC Budapest Raiders? It's not competitive sport, it's cheap showbiz with hot dogs.

I think it's quite funny that you think that competitive sport can be accomplished when one team spends $25M on their entire team and another spends $20M on a single star player.

Leicester was not too long ago not in premiere league, now they constantly spend 25 mil a player. There are plenty of teams who do that and clubs absolutely do reborn from ashes. Nothing like that with ESL.

The vast majority of clubs in the EPL can't afford to spend like that and stay financially afloat.
