We have played, including today, four international games ..... could they not be played in July and may just before and after domestic seasons start?
The answer to your questions are that Spain doesn't have as many foreign players, the money is nowhere near the Championship because of Spain's bullshit rule of giving most of the prize money to the top teams (then the Spanish football association wonder why so many teams have money troubles and why La Liga has become a boring shambles and finally the Championship would probably be affected more because as St Charles said they have more International players who would be away. It was only an idea as a way of keeping the top English leagues (minus the Premiership) going during the International breaks but it probably wouldn't work for a lot of the teams in the division.
As for changes being made to International breaks I have found this article online - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/41531244
