West Ham recently beat one of the big four, but I don't think that's your point. Until recently the Premiership was a league of two. Even in the mid-late 90s you only really had pretenders to the throne as one season of sucess can be meaningless if you've bankcrupt yourself getting there.

When there is talk now of the Big 4, there are still only two top teams with a couple of pretenders.

English players are so stupidly over-priced it is not often possible for any team other than the super-rich to buy them. Just being Enlglish pushes up your value to a stupid amount and in that scenario why wouldn't clubs get better players for less from abroad?
