Your only embarrassing yourself, with your comments.

The French Ligue 1 has never been one of the top 4 Leagues in Europe, it has always been The Premier, La Liga, Serie A, and The Bundesliga, followed by the French Ligue 1, it is one of the top producers of football talent, there are many top quality player coming from the French Ligue 1 conveyor belt.

The top 10 Leagues in Europe are the above 5, The Championship, the Greek, the Turkish, the Portuguese, and our Dutch League a very very poor 10th.
The Belgian League is improving fast and could pass us in 10th place in a couple of years, the rest including the SPL are way behind, and not really at the races.

I don't care how their ranked, because clearly those ranking are a joke, those are my personal assessments from my coaching and scouting all over Europe over many years.
At this moment the strongest league is easily the Bundesliga, followed by La Liga, then the Premier, and the at the moment there's nothing to choose between Serie A and Ligue 1, as Serie A is suffering a blip with clubs like Sampdoria, AC Milan and Inter Milan, Fiorentina, Udinese, Torino, and Verona all struggling.

I spent 5 years scouting in the old Eastern Blok and no way are the Russia, and Ukrainian, leagues in the top 10, apart from 2 clubs Zenit St P, and CSKA the Russian league is very weak, as is the Ukrainian league the only clubs of note are Metalist, Shakhtar, and maybe Dynamo Kiev.

I do not judge a league by it's results in European competitions, I judge them by the strength in depth of the clubs in their leagues, and down to about Fulham in 17th place would more than hold their own in the Dutch and Belgium Leagues where as Ajax, PSV, would struggle over a whole season to finish in the top 5 or 6 places in the Championship, people mistakenly under estimate the strength of the Championship it's a very strong and competitive League.
