Now if you were to make the arguement that some teams are more capable of dishing out the dough to 'maintain' their talent while smaller teams could not afford to keep their stars, that's another story. However, IMHO any team that doesn't spend money to keep the stars they produced has a cheap owner who doesn't want to win, plain and simple.

I was referring to Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool being able to continually buy players.
You referred to teams in the NHL that dominated by drafting and trading which is a lot easier for fans of other teams to deal than the fans of other teams in the EPL that know even with good player development they might have one year to compete before those same players are going to one of the top clubs.
That is why fans in NA were able to deal with their domination over what occurs in the EPL.
