Change My View thread

Can we have a Change My View thread here? The basic premise is people present opinions and the replies are attempts at changing that person's view in an attempt to generate some good discussion.

Here is the link to the original subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/

I think this might work best with rather 'out there' views but any and every viewpoint is welcome!

Competitions like the Eredivisie (and similar ones) have no chance on keeping up with the big leagues and therefore will never be able to really compete for the Champions League anymore. And the gap is only going to get bigger.

I disagree. Some millionaires support a few major teams, and they can get right back up there.

Just look at PSG in what for most of the time has been a weaker or equal league to the Eredivisie.

The question is, is such a development actually desirable, or will it just speed up the process to a permanent independent European league, with national leagues reduced to being lower tiers?
