I think the pressure comes from the assumption that the Saudis probably want a higher profile name as coach.

The Prampiernship, tier 1.5 of the English football pyramid. The two teams involved in this league play each other for 20 home and and away games each. At the end of the season there is a playoff between the top two sides to determine the winner.

Indeed, last year was the opposite, they all stayed up. who votes to increase their chance of getting relegated, and staying downjust never happening. It may be a Talksport discussion point, but that means less than nothing.

France relegated 4 teams if im right last season and promoted 2 only from 2nd division to transition into a 18 team league

Yeah that’s easily done. But then you’ve got to filter them down. So what do you do? Because three 24 EFL divisions is already at capacity. So do two clubs lose EFL status because the top clubs have to play more European football?

Top end of it there are certainly clubs who could compete in the EFL but the drop off is pretty big (or was when we were there)

Yeah with the notts county, Wrexham hype, people don't really get how awful the sides are in the bottom half generally.

i can’t think of any

Nope, but they only have 2 going up. in the end, the top of the table is perfectly good, no-ones arguing that. You do need to weed out the terribly run clubs at the bottom of Division 4, and as someone that remembers that awful stagnation which we were a part of for decades, promotion needed. A lot of them come up and stink up the place with lousy home and away crowds though, but hey it's how it goes.
Stockport, Wrexham and Notts County are changing that the last two seasons though

It's nice to know your not still bitter about it though.
Happens a fair few times, 6 times since 2004. yeah that's all to do with 2 up in conference and 4 up in Division 4, should be 3 in both probably.

I will be bitter about it until I take my last breath and I’m not sorry.
Jokes aside I thought it was less than 6 though. Bristol Rovers did it just before us, can’t remember who else. But I think my point stands, it’s not been a recent recurring thing. Every year someone says Salford/Stockport/Wrexham etc will do it. It more often than not doesn’t happen. We only did it because of a manager who transformed Norwood and built a team around him, and some shrewd January signings on the back of a lucrative cup tie against Spurs.

How Rare Are Back-To-Back Promotions In English Football? Luton, Coventry And Tranmere On The Brink Of Staggering Achievement
Achieving promotion is the pinnacle of the game for most football clubs. Although winning silverware is the main aim for most of the big clubs,…

Oh I agree though it's tiresome. Stockport were faves last year and it was just assumed they'd do it.

Has that result changed anything? Bare minimum you expect three points there, Sheffield are horrible.
I think the bigger outcome was at the San Siro, 0-0 against Milan in UCL is a great result.
They've got some easier PL fixtures now so I expect they'll start making their way back up the table but I don't think there's really that much to read into the Sheffield result. They still need to get out of that UCL group while prioritising points in the league so as soon as they slip again in either the knives will be out for Howe.
