"Consider this: five of the six major European leagues have already been won by the same clubs that took the title in the previous season."

A good argument for the US style salary cap?

I don't think the salary cap is so much the issue as tradition. The big clubs should go off and play in their own league. They can participate in their domestic cup competition and let that be that. It would help the top leagues shrink down to a more sane number (one that FIFA endorses) of 14 to 16 teams. And the big teams would be playing each other week in, week out. I know that's a Yank thing to say. But the clubs aren't just about soccer anymore, they're big businesses.
