England - 2019-20 Championship (formerly the 18-19 EPL)

[God is an Englishman]

I am a Luddite because I laughed at you making comments like you making suggestions to FIFA and they're listening to you.

Come on, that's comedy gold.

[Victoria's Secret]

FIFA were quite responsive to my suggestion and if any of you have long memories, it was raised as one of the options in their research before settling for 3 points for a win.

It was Jimmy Hill who was the brains behind 3 points for a win, not FIFA. They started using it later.

(I am happy to be corrected if wrong)

[Ashes Whitewash]

The English were definitely using it long before it was brought into the world cup.

[Victoria's Secret]

If memory serves me right, Norwich once drew a ridiculous amount of games and it got Jimmy thinking.

[Black_Panther]

It looks like Bournemouth will go up. Is there a minimum stadium size requirement in the Premier League?

[Ashes Whitewash]

I'd love to see Bournemouth in the top flight.

[Victoria's Secret]

I'd love to see Bournemouth in the top flight.

why?

[wizard]

Hopefully their stadium does not meet the requirements, and their Premier League spot is given to the next most deserving recipient - Nottingham Forest.

I'd love to see Bournemouth in the top flight.

why?

for me, I like the idea of a new club getting a year up there. Not to mention the issues that club had and nearly not even existing a few years ago.

[Victoria's Secret]

I like small clubs going up. Even if they go straight back down the money they get is good for them to improve off the pitch for years to come.

Parachute payments are the death of the smaller clubs

[Victoria's Secret]

is that because some clubs pay too much to try and compete?

[God is an Englishman]

No, it's because they have the money to compete. Makes it a closed shop, which is why I like teams bucking the trend.

How have parachute payments worked out for relegated teams in the last two or three years? Surely those clubs bounced straight back up because it's a closed shop.

Would love to see the stats but I would think that the vast majority of teams that get promoted are teams that have previously been in the premier league within the last few years and still receiving parachute payments.

Ummm, well then you'd be wrong.

[God is an Englishman]

Show the stats then

[God is an Englishman]

Rotherham won and we're done. Too little too late, Bomber dos a great job and I hope he gets a chance next year as well.

issue now is the directors who should have sacked the yokel months ago

[Sotally Tober]

At least you're not a non-league club.

Rotherham won. Unlucky.

[Vernon Howell]

Bit early to call but at least you can take solace in Wigan going down with you.

[N5 1BH]

At least you're not a non-league club.

[Sotally Tober]

I nearly said that too

[God is an Englishman]

I would support them whatever division they were in

Doesn't quite fit the thread title now.

Yep ,maybe a League One topic could be started.

[Adolf Hĭtler]

This was originally a League One Topic and one for many years. It's should be retitled to being "Huddersfield's division".

Ebbsfleet vs Millwall - I'd watch that.

That only covers bouncing straight back, which is not what I said
