but that's because they don't have the finances to compete, nothing else. Nothing is stopping billionaires bankrolling smaller clubs to compete. Man City weren't a huge club prior to the takeover. The big clubs at the top end of the table generate the income and interest, nobody in the PL gives a **** if Leeds are in the league fighting relegation.
What stops billionaires investing in small clubs, is the possibility, or lack, of growth. A large population has a large external family spread across the world. Home generated income leads to external/worldwide etc.
Pictures of a large, full, pregerably modern, stadium are advantageous.
Look at Seville stadium the other night. Atletico have a new one. All enhances tge image of la Liga.
Spurs, Arsenal, Man City, West Ham etc, visibly housed in modern stadia. Burnley, Watford etc no.
Just all gloss but makes the Prem look a successful product.
