Yeah money wise most of the league cannot compete anymore. Only Ajax has a significant amount of money that they now no longer need to sell players every year.
We've been a development league for probably almost 2 decades now really. We can still occasionally get solid teams together but usually anyone standing out gets bought by richer teams.
Our UEFA coefficient places us right above Greece actually, 14th. Portugal is 7th.
However, I have a feeling the competition is slowly able to hang onto talent better. Ajax is doing it easily suddenly (F. De Jong, De Ligt, Onana, etc etc are being kept despite huge clubs being interested) and even PSV has managed to hang on to Lozano and Bergwijn for now (CLOSE THE TRANSFER WINDOW ALREADY). Hopefully we can get both clubs into CL which should put a (to us) significant amount of money in the coffers. (PSV stands to gain 35M. We have budget of about 75-80M lol).
One thing that has remained true:
keep watching dutch teams for some exciting stars of tomorrow!
