The fact is that Soccer is different. In the NHL we're all after the Cup, but in soccer just not being dead last is like winning a trophy, top 4 in the EPL can be better than winning it. Success in soccer is a constantly fluid, nebulous concept.
Big teams will spend big money.

the opposite study would be what would happen if the NHL had promotion/relegation?
That said i believe the soccer system beloved worldwide is a failure... other than the English pyramid, all other 2nd divisions are garbage.
