"The likes of" is just a figure of speech imo. Commentators, reporters etc, use those words for those playing in the prem, eg a team playing the likes of Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal. I think we can get a bit too hung up about all this talk and think of it as belittling when it isn't.

The FA, most notably members of the NG (national Game) board, would disagree with you as they always refer to their structure, i.e. outside the Professional Game, as a pyramid.
