I thought this for a while now because the Premier League has financially been the strongest for many years, haven't they? I think so. But it is not the case that their financial power reflects their success in European competitions. If I am not mistaken here it is still the Spanish league that leads by far at least for the last decade or so. Some clubs from other leagues will still have a word to say, but yes there is no doubt about what you said. The Premier League clubs are all rich due to their broadcasting contracts. But it doesn't feel like they would always have the upper hand.

But maybe this could snowball at some point although it may be balanced out by external investors. There is value in building another league when one league is already dominating the European and the global market. See Girona as an example. I guess that's a club in the making by the City Football Group.

I am surprised though that there is not yet another financial heavy weight in Ligue 1 although Monaco isn't exactly poor.
