Cept for Arsenal, they will rule supreme.
Lol.
There are three kinds of managers.
Those who love football, but are not rich enough to fund the club.
Those who love football, and are filthy rich.
Those who are in it for money, and rip the club off for every penny they can get. Sometimes that means they will spend money..but ultimately they want their money back, with interest.
Generally speaking...so what if these clubs make a loss? In the end, if the owner is willing to cover that loss then that is up to him. Football is a sport primarily, then a business (or that's how it should be anyway).
As the game grows in other parts of the world, there will be more money in it..and the Premier League is probably going to be the biggest beneficent of that.

I'm sure that humans say that to super man too. Either way, England's league is superior to Italy/Germany/France's so the attitude comes with it..

Germany speaks for itself. Seeing how much it has improved over the last decade and a half, and how many quality players play in Germany nowadays, and how well managed the league and it's clubs are.. it would be foolish to think they would suddenly stop. As for France.. well, alot can happen in twenty years. Plus I think your being idiotic for dismissing Ligue 1 players like that. A rather large number of Ligue 1 players would have no trouble finding success in the EPL or any other league for that matter.
I don't see that much of an improvement in German football. Bayern is still a big club...like 10 years ago...and from time to time they make it all the way in Europe.
Other than that....where is the difference? There has always been a few decent German sides...there has been expansion for some clubs such as Hoffenheim but the same can be said of England. There is more money in Germany...but even more is going to England.
Once players in Germany prove themselves, they go to Bayern or they go to whatever big club approaches them. Even when Dortmund, or Wolfsburg or whoever win the league...they don't want to stay they want to move. Same with Lille in France too.
Ligue 1 players could play in England...I never said they couldn't. But some players have that mentality where...if they're at big French club they are happy there...and there is no incentive for them to move to a mid table English team. On the other hand...some do find incentive in that...
Sure, you have some players like Bastos where you're thinking "They would beast at Arsenal"....but it's not like they have been approached by an English team and they have said "No Thanks, I would rather stay at Lyon". etc...to move, they need to be bought...

More likely that our co efficient will be even higher, and we're already at the top.
You seem to have left out Arsenal
Funny that
