It’s a good league to be in and for my money more exciting than the prem with its premadonnas, it’s certainly more unpredictable 

Would like to see if that’s true about the Prem all the same !!!

Teams relegated from the Premiership with huge wage bills will have a problem though. There would have to be a rule introduced that would mean that all contracts a player signs with a club would be immediately set to reduced terms upon relegation. If they were able to do this then there'd be no need to scrap FFP - which in any case, isn't such a bad thing, however frustrating it is.

I agree but current practice is team relegated use the parachute payment to get an unfair advantage over the other 21 team.

 

This loop hole need closing but The football league are too scared of the premier league and the simple fact of it they are helping to put football in the state it currently is.

Do UEFA think Russia doesn't count?  

Zenit are supposed to average 45,000 so I can't imagine they average less than English LGE one.

For anyone not seen the pinned tread at the top of the matchday forum It's a worthy appeal and we only need a few hundred quid more 

come on dig deep lads

that's  a bit misleading , the average attendance in the Bundesliga is higher than the prem by about 6k a game .....ditto the championship average is below Bundesliga 2 by around 1k ........

 

On the other hand you could also suggest the aggregate attendances in England and Wakes are even more impressive versus Germany, Turkey, Russia and France when you consider the population of England and Wales is less.

Let’s face it a major reason for the impressive attendances in the Championship is because it’s such a great league.  Although I’d be just as happy as the next fan to see us promoted, I’m not convinced life in the PL would be any more enjoyable.
