There are 16 second and third class citizens in the EPL (not even counting the lower divisions).
If this were to happen, the big 4 in the EPL would then hook up with the Big 4 in other leagues. A European Superleague has been discussed but the only thing stopping it is that they don't want to totally kill off domestic football.

Again it's weird but if you talk to fans of the 16 other teams, they're resigned to the fact that only the BIG 4 can win.

As I mentioned before, my manager ,who is a Stoke City native, is exstatic that they're in the EPL and will get absolutely destroyed next year

The gap will get wider and wider.
