I would postulate that there could be a relationship between previous winners and later winners - winning often breeds success and fortune.
The more a team wins the more it's likely to cement its place in the winners pantheon. They can afford and attract the best players etc, and as you look down the final tables you will see an ordered list of financial muscle and attractiveness to players and overseas fans.
Perhaps there's a multiplier effect from success?
It would be interesting if we see the same effect in other sports leagues, business success in sectors etc?
