It is because the EPL is diluting La Liga viewing figures hugely they kicked off so early to achieve a global audience. Every big league in world football is running scared and dwarfed by the financial power of the EPL. Football will continue to push toward an elite 30 clubs. I expect the CL and Europa to finish and a global league to form. It's the main reason why I see no need for a 50M stadium with the future of football in Scotland an unknown.
Celtic are gearing up for it and are making contingency plans. So I've heard anyway.

I also think the new stadium is pointless just now. We can't even feed off the EPL.

It'll all blow up at some point but then there will be generations of Scots just losing interest in football completely.
