Ironic, that the former, is utilized in American pro sports, including & especially soccer, with the rest of the world utilizing the latter.

In fairness, that system tends to assume a level playing field which, in soccer, is not true.
Its like old-school NHL where the big teams had more money and just bought better players that nobody else could match or afford.
Soccer loves the un-level terms. Middle Eastern Oil sheikhs dropping untold millions on players and winning trophies with teams that hemorrhage cash, but they dont care.
They're treated like toys, trophies and trinkets rather than businesses.
A group on one side of the world trying to run a team like a business making money with methodical planning cant compete with a lunatic billionaire on the other side of the world who has nobody to answer to in terms of his spending.
