In fact, I would venture to say the afformentioned will probably be superior to even La Liga's second tier in the coming years with the progess made lately and investments to be made. I say this because I normally seem to think La Liga has the most quality in the middle of the table in terms of squads who can give big clubs a problem. However, I certainly agree with the sentiment that it goes in cycles. Of course it does. But at the moment, the momentum is most certainly in England. Right now, neither Italy nor Spain seem to have much quality at the top, much less mid table.

Nonsense. The top teams in italy and spain are still as big a draw as any team in England and attract players of the same ability and stature. If you think Barca, Real, Inter and Milan don't have quality you are having a laugh.
Tottenham are the only team capable of the ones you mention of doing anything in europe. Everton have hardly any quality, Villa are untested but i reckon would get found out and Newcastle? please.
Tottenham got done by a dutch team who by your estimations must be what? in the 5th 6th or 7th rate and then Everton got done by Fiorentina who being in a 3rd rate division would really do well to beat a team like everton who finished 5th in the Prem.
You seem to have this impression that the premiership will continue to go from strengh to strengh and the rest of europe will just stagnate and make no attempt to improve.
Barca are going to overhaul, Real demand european success. Milan will be a different team in a year or two and Juve are back in the champions league so expect big changes there.
