Most European leagues have traditional big teams; Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, the 'Seven Sisters' in Italy, etc. Money is a factor of course, but I think sometimes it's overstated and used as an excuse for failure; you can get good players for very little, and similarly, you can spend a lot of money on failures. I don't like the idea of salary caps or the draft system being brought into European football. Also, the simplicity of football is part of what makes it great; you can play it anywhere, anytime.
