To be honest, this is one part that I don't think is too crazy.Then there's the third bottom PL club going into the play offs rather than straight relegation. The only reason I can see for this is they're hedging their bets in case one of them has a disaster of a season to make sure they get a second chance at staying up.
To be honest, this is one part that I don't think is too crazy.
For example, if we (as 3rd worst-placed club last year) had had the chance to play a 2-legged tie against Fulham, I think we would have hammered them.
It does sort of act as a second chance for a club that just barely got relegated.
So according to statistics then, the '9 longest serving clubs' top flight clubs should be..
So actually 10 teams and not sure how they will promote Sunderland automatically from Lg1 to the PL....
- Everton - 112 seasons in top flight
- Aston Villa - 104 seasons in top flight
- Liverpool - 100 seasons in top flight
- Arsenal - 98 seasons in top flight
- Man Utd - 90 seasons in top flight
- Man City - 86 seasons in top flight
- Newcastle/Sunderland - 84 seasons in top flight
- Chelsea/Spurs - 80 seasons in top flight
You look at just the PL, since its conception, and actually Man City only just creep into the list with 13 yrs tenancy, and Fulham/Soton taking Sunderland's place, also with 13 years in the PL... Does this mean Man City wont get the same vote as the top 6 ???
Bet they don't offer Fulham or Soton the same status as Liverpool and Man Utd...

Interesting plot twist. Also, how do we get rid of Rick Parry?
Rick with a capital 'P'. (copyright The Young Ones).Would that be the Rick Parry that was formerly CEO of Liverpool and then, as CEO of the PL did all he could to advance the needs of the six? He can **************** right off. The fifth columnist ****************.
The incompetence of the FL never ceases to amaze.
So what happens if one of the said main teams does get relegated, Everton for example? They vote to overturn it?
Bit harsh on BTK, that....**************** off.
