I hate the premier league even more. I bet they'll give most of that to Man Utd to avoid any PSR. I'm syndical, I know 

It’s a cartel

 

I probably sound bitter but I’m not. 
 

It’d be phenomenal if the PL somehow went bust one day

I can’t believe anyone could say with a straight face that they’d rather have Arsenal’s season this year than Spurs. I know some have a weird disdain for Spurs for whatever reason but come on lmao 

I would rather have had our season than Spurs’s humiliation in the PL.

Hard disagree. They won't remember finishing 17th and losing at home to Ipswich and Leicester in the league; they'll remember lifting a European trophy in Bilbao and qualifying for the Champions League. 

 

I can actually see them doing well next season as they'll get a massive cash injection from qualification and a confidence boost from finally getting the trophy-related monkey off their backs. Not necessarily anywhere near the UCL places by league position, but definitely the potential to make top 7.

With a new manager they might escape relegation

Exactly imagine arsenal finishing 17th and trying to justify it with a sub standard European competition win against a fellow relegation candidate..

 

My god

A few trophy droughts were ended this year

 

 

Funny old league we have the same 3 teams getting promoted/relegated and 3 teams winning a trophy something they haven't done for what seems like eons

From what I've seen, they back Marinakis 100% on pretty much everything.

Probably backing the owner.

 

Up to three/ four years ago we'd have been the same, especially if it was Vichai involved.

Forest are a shitty little club with a Napolean Complex, thinking there relevant after 1/2 a good season. Maranakis and them are perfect for one another.

It'll make the inevitable fall off all the funnier.

Exactly because most of them are insufferable *****

Its so weird that we are seen as a club with one lucky season but they are seen as a ‘massive club, because they got lucky with one manager and won the European cup 2 times, the mainstream media lap it up to its weird, saying things like it would be nice to see a ‘proper big traditional club’ in the champions league, as opposed to which non proper club, and I didn’t hear them say the same about Huddersfield.

They base their whole club identity around three successful years and ignore the other 157 where they have a similar record to clubs like Preston and Middlesbrough, and think those three years are the norm rather than a glittering exception to a century and a half of mediocrity.

They should split that money equally between the Championship clubs that haven't been in the Premier League during the applicable period. 

 

**** the Premier League, it doesn't need another 150m and I include us in that. 

 

Would go someway to helping them compete with clubs that get parachute payments.

Am I imagining things or did that money used to be distributed among the EFL clubs (as it should be)?

This is an interesting item comparing EPL with the other major European leagues in regard to all teams promoted to the top tier getting relegated in their first season.

 

Interestingly, it's only happened since the creation of the EPL, never happened in the old Division One, and during that same time, it's never happened in Italy, Germany, Spain or France.

 

Is something broken?

Something is definitely broken. PSR is compounding it.

 

Sunderland can only make a loss of 60 million over a 3 year period while the prem teams can have 100 million. They are already at a huge disadvantage, every promoted team is. Each year this continues the gap grows as the existing teams take more money. Unfortunately we ****ed up at the exact wrong time as any team in there now bar a catastrophic balls up will be able to stay there until something fundamentally changes in the setup/rules. 

[JimJams]

I still think it's largely to do with the teams you'd usually expect to see in the mix for the drop are all currently being managed by very good managers. In some cases better than those at the bigger clubs. Glasner, Iraola, Frank. Whilst they can keep hold of them you'd expect them to be comfortable. Palace rode out a crap start because they had faith Glasner and the team were just going through a rough spell. Patience he'd earned the season prior.

But once those guys move on it's just one shit appointment compounded by a series of injuries or sale of a key player and they're right in the shit.  Then you need to take advantage. Maybe the timing will be right for us in a year.

The highlighted part is what is wrong with English football.

 

People bemoaning the fact that clubs with a turnover of over 120m a season can't make a loss, it's wild.

It's a sad reflection on our season (and the state of us, generally) that I will be paying far more attention to Forest v Chelsea (two teams I'm not at all fond of) than Bournemouth v City.
