I read on a news article recently, i think on BBC or somewhere, about the way top league leaders this season actually bought the league. The article reviewed how the top clubs across Europes top 5 leagues are actually "buying" the league instead of winning it. For example, Most of them are toping the second placed club with more than 10 points. Manchester city is leading in the EPL with 16 points now.
So it was argued in the article that the leagues are becoming less competitive and clubs with little financial power are being placed by the side. How much you can buy determines what you can win. After looking closely at that article, i began to see reason to believe that money is actually influencing the soccer far more than it should
