It's a factor, but Serie A has similar issues with local councils owning stadia and they have a much more competitive league, that is more internationally followed and that has a better overall European record despite P$G. The fact is the owners there as well as the TV stations etc all knew how to put on a show and Ligue 1 and it's owners, despite sometimes being as mental as Serie A ones, don't know how to sell the football as entertainment. It was a 1 horse race for much of the 2000s then a quasi 1 horse race from Qatar onwards. It also has to compete with rugby for eyeballs and match going experience in the South, and let's be honest attending rugby in the South is a much more pleasant experience than for example a Nice game
