Our most critical season ?

[johnmcormick8]

imo our most critical season was our first back in the prem under Steve Parish ownership. Having survived that we have gradually grown to be a low to mid table prem side.. That's punching up and with 3 trophies we are in dreamland.

Yes. We don't aspire to much greatness - We may be in the gutter but we are looking at the kerb.

Not if the Premier League were to funnel more of their income down the pyramid to compensate.

English football has to adapt to the demands of UEFA sadly. They wanted more midweek slots for their competitions which is why cup replays were ended. The alternative would have been to cut the Premier League to 18 clubs as happened to the French Ligue 1 for the 2023/24 season. Germany have been an 18 club league for ages, so only Spain, Italy and us have a 20 club league. UEFA would dearly love all three of us to reduce to 18 clubs. More revenue for UEFA then and less for the domestic leagues.

The Premier League has no interest in funneling money to anyone other than its members. They couldn’t give a toss about the ‘pyramid’. Greedy, rapacious organisation. Much fairer system before its advent. Proper pyramid then.
