Hypothetical question re Albion in the Premier League

[Green Cross Code Man]

The Yanks have the right idea with American Football where the bottom club gets the first round draft pick from college players. Sure helps to even things out.

I've thought for years that some kind of system which could ensure a more level playing field would benefit the overall quality of the league. After all, the bigger clubs are able to buy players that would walk into other teams in the league and are prepared for them to rot in the subs bench or in the reserves.

Putting aside the financial issues, do you think that you'd enjoy watching us in the Premier League more than the Championship next year?

No.

I'm in two minds but am only swayed by the financial implications rather than the excitement of seeing Albion in the top division.

The main reasons I want to get there are 1) The joy of winning promotion, 2) The financial implications, that mean we can slowly build, even if we come back down. If we don't get promoted, with FFP we could get left behind by all the rich clubs coming down.

It is worth noting that the last time we were in the top division we didnt have 1 complete sell out at home not even the first match at home to Arsenal.

Lets get there first, I'm sure we could hold our own against certain teams, would the same question be asked next year if we found ourselves in the same position? Or the following season after that etc.

No reason at all why we can't do as well as Southampton have this season.
