    I don’t believe they will change manager but tbf it happens with players all the time. Players that help their teams get promoted are not always kept on.

    A fair point.
    But it makes me wonder why players & managers of Clubs challenging to get into the Prem even bother.

    The gulf between the Prem and the Championship is now so vast it is almost impossible to bridge.
    Fans of Southampton, Ipswich & Leicester would have had much happier seasons in the Championship.
    And they will all be happier next season.

    Happy fans should be what matters in football. Not obscene worship of money.
    Bring on the European Superleague.
    The massive Elite Clubs can do one, and some sanity may be restored to the Top flight in England.

    3 up, same 3 down in the Prem.
    Second season in a row.

    This year, all 3 promoted teams gone with 4 games still to play,
    15 point gap to the team in 17th
    And in truth, the three relegated teams were all gone six weeks ago.

    The Prem has effectively closed itself.
    Let Leeds prove me wrong next season.

    It is said by some that the Premier League being so "strong" (anyone can apparently beat anyone - outside the bottom three anyway) is an advantage to our elite teams who play in the Champion's League.

    It does seem that outside the Prem, most European top leagues are two horse or one horse races.
    Why then, do not English teams win the CL every season?
    Or at the very least, an English team makes it to the Final every year.
