5 Different league winners in the past 10 years and we want to call it a one team league.
Where does the PL stand with their 4 winners over the same duration?
Yeah but those 4 winners of the PL still compete every season, look how far some of those Bundesliga clubs have fallen. It's only Bayern who are consistently at the top.
The underlined bit actually works against the angle of the PL being more competitive though, you've established fixed rotation.
BL has been more variable "competitive" in that span with frequently rotating top teams, top 4, league winners etc.
Not that its huge issue, but it is factually incorrect that one labels a league with a bigger variety of winners and rotation in and amongst the top echelons as being a one league team, i say this fully understanding that Bayern has been as "consitent as Man Utd" over the set period, the only difference has being more teams have been able to challenge for honours instead resigned to being stuck in the mid table chasing pack.
Having a league with more winners by definition goes against them being labeled as a one team league. The have one the most just like United have, but they have haven't always been the only team in hunt.
BL winners 2002/2003
Bayern- 6
Dortmund -2
Bremin-1
Stuttgart-1
Wolfsburg-1
Pl winners 2002/2013
Man Utd- 6
Chelsea-3
Arsenal-1
Man City-1
Either both have been dominated by one team or neither have.
Yes but my point is look where Bremen, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg and eventually Dortmund are now. At the start of every season you can predict that Bayern will win the league and you probably won't be wrong, especially with their current side. At the start of season you can't predict which PL side will win it.
