Does the Premier League's financial dominance actually ruin the competitive balance of European football, or does it just redistribute talent in a way that makes the Champions League more exciting? I grew up watching mid-table English clubs fight for a Europa League spot as if it were a trophy, and now even those clubs can outspend champions from Italy or Germany. The gap is staggering, but I wonder if fans outside England really care or if they've just accepted the hierarchy. Would a salary cap or UEFA's financial fair play ever truly level the playing field, or is that just wishful thinking from nostalgic supporters?
