I don't think we can afford to be so smug as our own league is similarly cartel-ridden and uncompetitive, with the smaller teams vastly over-stretching themselves trying (unsuccessfully) to compete. The product is better, the framework not. The entire structure of European football needs a radical shake-up, starting with salary caps and IMHO horizontal rather than vertical structures, ie a "franchise" system from the top down without promotion/relegation between leagues. Eventually there will be a European Super League at the pinnacle of this with the 4 big English and 2 big Scottish teams in there for me. And it'll be great. Let scummy teams like mine (Hull City) play in a league we can actually win.
Imagine if Liverpool actually get that 4th Champs League spot after all. There'll probably be a tidal wave in Japan caused by the thud as every neutral fan in the country simultaneously dies of boredom.
