Do you that the Uefa coefficient ranks the league average strength correctly? Here is the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_coefficient How would this rank change if the leagues where ranked by their overall strength
I don't know. One problem is that the top leagues have 16, 18, or 20 clubs, but Switzerland has a good league with only 10 clubs. We'll never find out because a game between the 13th best team in England and the 7th best team in Finland wouldn't make much money (I made the ranking within the country better for the club in the far inferior league).
Agree ... UEFA coefficient is favoritism to marketing and revenue (selling ticket, stuffs and ads like news, live games) rather than a true reflection of each league in real time. For example, as long as every year, some top teams (in top UEFA list) maintain more or less the same number of participation to UEFA CL and UEFA cups (which already unfair and prejudged to start with) and they will still be among the TOP ... accummulatively (since day 1 )
