i think bundesliga can easily be as marketable as serie a or la liga who have better tv deals. when you look at those for example their midtable & lower teams are worse than bundesliga. when you look at style of play, bundesliga is faster and has more goals, and they don't waste time with the theatrics that plague the other two--- la liga looks like a street circus with all the somersaults and diving.

here in the us and in a lot of other countries beinsport (al jazeera) carries serie a, la liga and ligue 1. they seem to do well and they have qatari money behind them.

now this is not going to be the kind of money the prem makes, but it could be more than they make now obviously. and isn't germany's population larger and their economy stronger than other european countries? so the domestic market is there already, just not on steroids.

i don't think for the domestic fan in general competitiveness in europe matters that much unless teh europa league starts to matter more. for big teams always though, and for bayern it's the only challenge left right now, but you get the same thing in spain or italy or france with clubs like madrid/barca, juventus, psg, etc.. wasn't man u like that as well, until recently?

the thing with bayern is they didn't get there with narcodollars or by racking up infinite debt, they just worked their asses off and managed their resources conservatively like good bavarians. what they've done is amazing and they deserve their spot, regardless of how that reflects on the league's parity. i don't lke them cannibalizing other german teams, but cannibalization happens anyway.

but yes, the english tv deal puts pressure on everyone, including other british leagues (championship, scottish); and who knows how everyone will cope. some might copy, come might say fuck this-- but everyone is feeling it.

me, i think it's a bubble that will burst. right now it looks amazing but so did real estate in 2006.

one thing we can expect is for the deal to affect for your national team also. i mean already there's very few english players in the top teams of the prem-- how is it going to be in the coming years when money lets you buy anyone from anywhere? forget developing young players when you can just harvest the whole planet.
