Look, to be honest. Besides the big 4 u mentioned, no one else is gonna win the championship
Anyone remember the year when newcastle consistenly was in 4th by they could not break through due to lack of defensive midfield. To get extra money you need to either a) get a good turnout in stadium b) get money from winning trophies
In league consistency and that's where you need a big squad is you look at the second 11 of chelsea, arsenal, man u, they would even beat some of the mid table teams. Liverpool might win champions league but they do not have the depth.
Even with 2 keepers injured, Chelsea can still hang on. Do you see that happening to Liverpool?

It is possible, but for that to happen, you would need a very rich benefactor to take over a club outside of the top 4, which has a big fan base. Then they would be able to afford the best class players in the world, and tempt them to come to come and ply their trade. This does happen each decade. In the 90s it was Blackburn, and now Chelsea have broken the triopoly of Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool, on the back of Ambramovic' large cheques.
You would also need a club to develop a quality youth team academy and scouting network. Inspite of all the foreign imports, the Premiership winning teams have always had local lads who understand English football (ie Man Utd's wonderteam of 1992, Cole and Campbell, Terry and Lamaprd, if Liverpool win they would look to Gerrard and Carragher).
I would say the best bet is Tottenham - if they can ever put a stop to their butterfly-headed inconsistency and start grinding out win after win. They have solid financial backing, a large fanbase, and their location makes it easier to attract top players, because of the bright lights of London.
It can be done, success builds upon success, and clubs get a 'success momentum' going. Until 1959, Liverpool were a provincial city club going nowhere, then they started winning trophies and dominated for the next three decades. Chelsea hadn't won the Premiership for 50 years, until the Russian roubles came to the club. Look at them now.

It all depends. In this day and age its totally plausible to foresee some1 other than the big 4 win the prem. reason 4 this is all the overseas investments in premiership clubs. With many of the english clubs bein taken over by billionaires alot could change in the next ten years...imagine the possblity of reading with more money they could b fighting for champions league this season or even portsmouth at the start of the season no1 thought they would b in europe by the end.( they not there yet but stand good chance)

No way! Not unless another Abramovich comes over & buys one of the other clubs.
Basically the 'big four' have all the best players & they will continue to attract the best players for the forseeable future due to all the success they are having in the league & cup competitions. They are constantly receiving the most prize money - from domestic comps & the Champs League, they have the biggest gate receipts (Newcastle aside) and so for these reasons it will be nigh on impossible for any other team to catch up.

If someone pulled a Chelsea, then yes. But I doubt anyone will win besides the big four in the next ten years. However, if Newcastle or Tottenham signed a few good players, they could make a run, but again, probably won't happen.

At the moment probably not in the next 20 years but things change and if major investment and a good management/coaching structure is invested in some other teams outside these 4 (in reality 2 just now) then that could break the stranglehold.

Yes.. if Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea suddenly cease to exist.

the money will dry up for some clubs....look at some of the debts they are running with.
it has already happened to some italian clubs.
to answer your question though, i think a firm 'yes'
sunderland could be a prime example, young manager already making a name, a chairman with a love for the club, not the cash and a consortium of backers with a little cash to put into the club.
curbishley came pretty close with charlton on a very limited budget, a decent manager with good backing could build a team capable of fighting for the title, most teams are capable of beating the other on their day.

I think that it could happen. With all the foreign investors coming into our game, it only takes another Russian/big business, to take over a club, give it unlimited spending power and, there you are.
In ten years time, I bet that we have multimillionaires at every club in the Premiership!
