Not that it would make a huge difference for shit leagues like Albania, Bosnia, Montenegro, Kosovo as the teams that will play in the qualifiers will be more or less the same ones that were in EL.

This is a horrible idea lol. If anything just have a few regional leagues like

1) Croatia/Slovenia
2) Serbia/Montenegro/Serbian teams in Bosnia
3) Albania/Kosovo/Albanian teams in Macedonia & Montenegro
4) Bulgaria/Macedonia
5) Romania/Hungary (is there bad blood between the two countries?)

It's not horrible idea but it is probably one of shittiest fake news ever. It's impossible for many reasons but i will mention some of them.

1) Serbian teams would accept to play in regional league with kosovar club only if Prishtina registers in Serbian Federation and is represented as serbian club.
2) Timing is extremely questionable,as idea has been discussed many times by ex-Yugoslavia legendary players but i believe "inventor" of this fake news was inspired by Florentino Perez interview at Chiringuito. Perez mentioned Benelux and Balkan league during that interview.
3) Gazeta Olle can be credible source about Kosovo junior championship but anything beyond that is questionable.

People thought this ESL was some greedy move, when in reality it was a Hail Mary to save clubs from bankruptcy.

It's to "save" the owners not the clubs. If you can't service the debt you'll be foreclosed on and lose any equity you might have had. Some Chinese or Arab billionaire will come in and buy the club for pennies on the dollar.

It was trap by Real and Barca to use Premier League clubs owners greed to save their hegemony as clubs in world football. It's obvious La Liga can't compete with Premier League so it's do it or die for Barca or Real otherwise in few years they will be bullied financially even by average clubs of Premier League. As Milan supporter i'm appalled by Ac Milan,Real, Juventus, Barca, Inter hypocrisy especially from their fans. They complain about sheikhs money but those clubs did everything to destroy their leagues and now complain they can't compete.

If a team purchases a player for 100 million euros with average salary of 10 million they will average that out for the average life of 5 years or whatever the contract is. Also several of these teams have built/upgraded their stadiums as well.

And I'm certain some of those teams pull in revenue way over that figure each year. A team like United has extensive sponsorship deals, significant TV revenue, prize money, etc, that's way over that debt figure yearly.

That’s the debt before the pandemic started. Teams havent released the latest ones yet. Barca has 1.3 billion because of Messi. No sales from Stadiums, no sales of shirts... They were going more negative on the balance sheets every year imagine 2 years without those incomes...
