A. The most competitive league in Europe where anyone can win
For certain, it is a great and unpredictable league in most cases. That is why I still watch it when Norwich are not playing.

B. A league full of former premier league rejects on massive wages running down the clock to retirement.
There are certainly a few, Ipswich have a few in their ranks this season.

C. A terrible league where anyone can win it which is why most newly promoted teams seem to do well in their first couple of seasons.
About 50% of teams have a realistic chance of winning it. Out of the newly promoted teams history would suggest very few of them have any chance but many do well for a few years at least before the bubble bursts (Gillingham, Stockport, Scunthorpe).

D. A league full of average teams with average managers
Mostly, but their are and have been some exceptions and will be again.

E. A league where many premier league teams have come to die.
Some do, well most in recent years. The 90 minute battle is a shock to most. The lack of TV money hurts them and they have to sell the prize assets to exist.

F. A league brimming with talent just waiting for premier league action
Again, in some cases there are some hidden gems as there are in League 1. Just needs the right manager to get more out of them (ala Paul Lambert)
