Any chance it won't be the Big 4?

I like football, but how do fans of all the other teams justify supporting a league that only has 4 competitive teams? The rest are pretty much development squads for the big 4 now, and with UEFA $ getting so big, the problem just perpetuates itself.

The concept would be really foreign in Europe, but would they ever introduce salary caps, revenue sharing or amateur drafts?

Should the fans of all the other teams boycott EPL until the playing field is level? Would you follow an NHL where NYR, DET, TOR and COL fill out the top 4 every year? I don't think we would stand for this in North America.
