There is every chance that for 3 seasons running Leicester and Soton will be relegated, promoted and relegated again, while Burnley and Sheff Utd could be promoted, relegated and promoted.
Given our own experience of the step up in quality, I don't see a world next season where any of the 3 promoted clubs stay in the PL. Leeds are probably best equipped to avoid relegation, but staying up in the first season is proving harder and more vital than ever.
If we can do that, even if we have to go down and back up again, then it's possible to thrive as Brentford, Fulham, Bournemouth and Forest have proved in the last 4 seasons. But the PL really is becoming a bit of a closed shop. |  | | |  |

Those four clubs emphasise the importance of staying up. Do that and next seasons investment is to improve the squad , get relegated and that investment is to get back up.
Look where Forest are, compared with last season.
PL will almost inevitably, unless clubs leave to join a European super league, end up as a closed shop as foreign owners look to secure their investment. |  |

Totally agree and said same in another post. No need for a breakaway league, it's already happened. Bank the money and move on. Leeds due to home support may have a chance but no doubt they will fall apart again. | | | |

You just know that having battled sides with parachutes every season with depreciating income, they'll try and tailor something to screw us over in the coming seasons, having finally got back on the gravy train
That's the kind of luck we get
But the new owners do at least have deep pockets and the business acumen do give us some advantages you would hope [Post edited 27 Dec 2024 12:01]

The Budgies have been rolling a double six ever since they happened upon Lambert
We have been rolling double ones since our last PL relegation and finally got a break when Game changer came in in their shining armour | |

I personally don't think it will happen in the short terma s I believe the big boys will want to reduce the league size first. You create a closed shop you are then stuck with that league size. | | | |
