Derby County record watch

But then it won’t count lol as we will always say it was the points deduction.

Let’s just lose the next 3 games with -13 GD and do it properly.

 

You think we’ll be promoted next season then?

 

I think that next year either Burnley, Leeds or whoever comes up will give us a run for our money.

 

No chance. They haven’t got a totally useless team, totally useless recruitment system, totally useless management system or totally useless owners. Any way we will be trying not to be the worst Championship team EVER!

 

No getting around it; we deserve to be humiliated as the worst ever side in PL history.

 

The trouble is that if the three promoted teams are as bad as the 3 that were promoted last season the Premier League might start making a very strong case for maybe reducing the league to just 18 teams (which will suit the big teams in European competitions) and just have one team relegated.

 

Or just get rid of relegation entirely, though the top teams would be very against that

 

As would every fan in the country.

 

I'm assuming that's a tongue in cheeks remark. Big NO from me to anything that can be likened to creeping Americanisation.

 

I don’t know. I could happily ignore the PL, winning the championship would be the equivalent of winning the PL. I pay no attention to the CL because saints will never be in it, doesn’t bother me either.

 

It wouldn't though. Just like winning the Johnstone's Paint wasn't the equivalent of winning the FA Cup.

 

I know there is a lot of doom and gloom in these threads but starting to want relegation scrapped is truly up there. Would be an instant turn off for the whole sport for me if that got scrapped. What’s the point of any of it if you take that away? You’re just ****ty American Football

 

Because we were in the FA cup. If the big 6 had broken off and had their super league the PL would mean just as much for me. If it’s a closed shop which we will never be in then the competition we can play in becomes the only thing that’s important. For me the CL is irrelevant, may not exist.

 

Only for the PL. the FL will operate as it always has.

 

Majority yes, every definitely not. Even in people I speak to I’d say it’s 70/30 against getting rid of it. All the Everton fans I know ( 6 )have wanted it for years as it’s the only way they have a chance of being competitive in the PL

 

Im not saying I want it to happen but I think your being a bit naieve if you don’t think it hasnt been talked about behind closed doors. Not going to happen any time soon but if the trend of the 3 promoted sides go down convincingly continues then the argument for it becomes stronger

 

I'm not saying it hasn't been discussed behind closed doors or out in the open for that matter. Nothing in my post you replied to intimated so.

 

I think Leeds will stay up next season.

 

Out of interest why?

 

I agree if it's the top 4 or 6. But not the top 20.
