About the fact that the nuclear submarine the richest and most profitable football league in the world – has been known for a long time. The English Premier League generates incredible profits, and the system of distribution of earned money allows all its clubs, without exception, not only to exist comfortably, but also to be active players in the transfer market. However, the gap between the Premier League and the leading European championships really impressive.
