Shame it's taken that long. Hope this is the start of a trend.
It is - from the next season, a team that will finish at the last place will earn around 130m of euros, while the winner will receive around 180m, what the point for them to care about the europeans trophies? Forget about the europa league, while the prestige of the CL will still exist for another 5-6 years but then they will have another deal and the winner of the EPL title will earn around 200m of euros, so who needs a CL when you can earn THAT amount of money as the winner of the EPL?! PLus, they mediocre squads will be able to sign any star from la liga, serie a or bundesliga and give him a big contract
