Leeds spent 16 years outside @premierleague lurching from one crisis to another and even losing at home to Tranmere in Division 3 but they had a route back and have made the most of it. That’s what it’s all about. Take that away and it’s done #LUFC #LEELIV

League Football has been here since 1888. Had a power-grab happened in the late 90s Man City wouldn’t have been involved as they were in the third division. Bolton once mused about PL2 with no relegation. They are now in Division 4. Individual interests should never run the game

Had the Championship been decided on Points Per Game during lockdown Charlton would have gone down. Last week Hull would have gone down on PPG, this week it’s Huddersfield. It’s a bit of a flimsy way to change a club’s history isn’t it ?

Warnock is spot on in everything he says. No other country has the sustained interest the EFL has. No one would watch B teams and the competition would slowly die. Some Premier League clubs treat young players like stars before they’ve done anything. That’s the issue to sort out
