> The disparity between the Premier League teams and the other leagues is huge already

It wasn’t the case earlier. Between 2008 and 2012, English clubs did extremely well. That time can come again. Even right now, 2 of the 4 European semi-finalists are English teams, one of whom isn’t even doing that well in the domestic league. That does not strike me as a struggling league.

The real advantage that Barcelona, Real Madrid and others have is the lopsided way they allocate domestic broadcasting revenue. The English league splits it equally, for most part. This leads to an extremely competitive domestic league. In Spain, the big 3 clubs gobble the lions share of the TV revenue, leading to boring, easy games for them and more money to spend on players compared to the English. In the long run, the English strategy is superior - it leads to a more interesting League that draws more viewers.

What are you talking about? Since the Premier League was created in 1993 four teams (Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal) have won 25 of the 28 titles.

I think you interpreted GP in the opposite way: the Premier League is _ahead_ of other leagues, as it has way more money and has acted as a drag for talent for many years.
