This may sound weird but I think the fans like it that way. They cheer for multiple teams. Back to my manager at work, he cheers for ManU as the big club (out of the big 4).. Southampton for a middle club (cause they're on the south coast) ,Stoke as his local club and some other even smaller club who's name I can't remember. But now that Stoke is in the Premiership, they're actually gone ahead of Southampton for the first time in about 50 years!
And they LOVE their promotion/relegation system so there's no point leveling the playing field. My manager says that North American sports make no sense cause there no relegation.
