I wanted to start this thread because (1) there are more than three teams in La Liga than Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico, and (2) La Liga is really a mess, for a multitude of reasons. Most notably, there was a threat of a strike last season. In a nutshell, it seems that the government declared the strike to be illegal, so the games went on, but I don't think any of the issues have been resolved.
Today, Elche, a team whose past ownership/management ran the club into debt, was relegated to Segunda by a judge's decision. The current ownership/management--I'm not sure which--is fighting the decision, claiming that they've established a plan to pay the team's debts by the start of this upcoming season.
The only silver lining is that Elche's demotion implies that Eibar would be back in La Liga next year.
