Maybe an unpopular opinion but the competitiveness of the premier league from top to bottom is fine. Especially compared to other leagues. It is sport after all. You can’t just try and start from scratch and make every competitor somehow equal.
I agree the competitiveness seems to be really strong at the moment, the massive increases in foreign TV revenue (which I believe is split equally amongst the clubs) has meant almost all sides can spend a fair bit, pick up good players from across Europe and actually be competitive regularly against the big clubs and not just win a scrappy counter attacking game.
I think there's an argument to be made about splitting domestic revenue even more equally then it already is considering the big clubs don't rely on that money at all and it would help the teams lower down the table a lot. But i'm also biased in that situation.
