Inevitable outcome when the big boys were allowed to split into the Premier League so that they could keep more of the money.
Watering down the social contract to the lower levels of the League Pyramid to help fund it creates a barrier to entry.
Further drawbridge raising with PSR structured as a gatekeeper makes it incredibly difficult to breech.
Once income is protected to a select few it becomes ever more concentrated as it becomes more dependable as a form of return. People like the back winners on the whole.
Don’t know why you think having multiple tiers with teams can get promoted/demoted has anything to do with the money grabbing stuff. The USA doesn’t have the concept of promotion/demotion in any sport and the NFL is the most disgusting cash money league
You literally just highlighted what league they want to copy. No relegation means no risk to your investment.
Two of the big six were at a (smalll risk of relegation last season, Spurs and United. If the bottom three weren’t such a joke they would have been pulled into it for certain. Spurs aren’t completely out of the woods this season.
Imagine the impact to their finances, especially the heavily leveraged United if they went down?
Then there are the payments to relegated clubs and handouts to the other lower leagues. No relegation saves them hundreds of millions of pounds a year. I would expect a cut in the handouts as well, saving many millions more.
