I wouldn’t have minded Blackburn going up. But who else is around the playoffs? Millwall and Boro obviously not. Sheffield United, West Brom and Huddersfield have already had recent spells in the PL and are still carrying parachute payments. We don’t want yo-yo clubs as it will make our task of ever getting there even harder. What you want is teams coming down and struggling like Stoke and Cardiff, with both set to lose their parachute payments. Swansea another one. Having Fulham, Bournemouth, Norwich, Watford, Sheffield United, Huddersfield, West Brom and potentially Burnley just bouncing between the leagues will just make the gap even bigger for us. I have nothing against Huddersfield, but they seem like a well-run club so they have the potential to be another Norwich if they go up. Norwich under Dean Smith will easily be top two next season.

I'll take any of these, or a 5 a side team consisting of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse with Satan in goal as an alternative. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy for Fulham, Bournemouth and Sheffield United to go straight back up. The more that happens, the more someone might sit up and notice that the parachute payments system is broken. it’s not really our problem anymore for the next couple of seasons, so maybe if it happens this season and next, they might do something to fix it by the time we’re back.

It would be nice but the parachute payments system is part of the Premier League is it not? I think the PL enjoy having the same teams to build brands around. Especially southern clubs like Fulham and Bournemouth. Forest would be an easy club to market in fairness. But the more recognizable the clubs, the more appealing the PL becomes to the wider audience. The reason why the likes of La Liga and Serie A have lagged so far behind from a marketing standpoint is because nobody knows who half the teams are. They may never accept a closed PL, but they are doing their utmost to make sure the same 15 clubs or so are there every season.

Crewton Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I suppose if Forest went up we'd get the entertainment of watching Leicester play the Glenn Close role in a football version of Fatal Attraction, trying desperately turn a one night stand into a permanent relationship. It'd be far more entertaining to watch them bottle it though. Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke of a list this is! I’m sure most United fans care about Liverpool more than city too. City are like the Leicester of the north west. No one ever really cared enough about them to have a rivalry. He’s just trying to make them seem more relevant cos he’s ex city.

I feel like they’re the Leicester of London, they’re everyone’s second biggest rival. Every team in London has a more famous rivalry with someone else. I don’t think a list like this should contain a team more than once. Like Liverpool, is you’re biggest derby day Man Utd or Everton? make you’re mind up.

Yes you could, and you’d lose. Precisely no one thinks Leicester vs forest is the east midlands derby. cmon @Red_Dawn, get in this one, we’re all slagging off Leicester.

Bris Vegas Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Isn’t Forest v Leicester third on the list In the East Midlands anyway? Pretty sure Derby v Leicester has more of an edge than Forest v Leicester. Leicester have always been desperate for a rivalry. Seems weird given how superior they are right now.
