[Football] HYPOTHETICALLY if the 'Big 6' left the Prem, who would win it?

[Cheeky Monkey]

Eventually a new "big four / six" would establish themselves but for the first few years it would probably be chaos and very even.

Leicester probably got a bit of a head start though. Very well run club and has been for a while.

If the Thai money ever goes Leicester will revert to a more ‘natural’ position befitting the size of the club.

Glasgow Rangers, as the EPL allow Celtic and Rangers in to ensure TV revenue is kept up, with Hibernian and Aberdeen transferred to the Championship.

If we're talking next season, and IF we solve our goal scoring problem, we would have as good a chance as anyone.

 

[Surf's Up]

If we could hold onto a lead we would actually be right up there with Leicester (31 points lost this season I believe - you do the maths!!)

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Nobody knows.... and that is the beauty of an open, competitive league. Just like it was once before ... before Sky came in with their money.

Voted other as simply anyone can win it. Even little old Brighton and Hove Albion

Short term, Leicester and Everton (and possibly the likes of Wolves and Leeds muscling in). Medium to Longer term teams with solid foundations and world class facilities would emerge, which would benefit us (assuming things here stay on an even keel).

I like the idea if Rangers and Celtic joining the PL Might just keep it interesting.

Everton, Leicester.. Wolves possibly West Ham

I’d love that.

Sadly, explained today, every single English club with a vote would vote against it as they have in the past.

I think due to a Turkeys voting for Xmas reason. Everton, Leicester, Newcastle, Leeds, Massive won’t allow two genuinely huge clubs to play in a league where they’d inherently displace two English clubs and with money, win the lot.

Givemesport.com have an article looking at previous seasons final league tables if the big six hadn't been involved.

No surprise that Everton would have been the biggest beneficiaries. But also shows that we would have been relegated in 2018/19.

 

[The Fits]

Leicester would walk it, they're an incredible team. They deserve to be in Europe.
I reckon we'd move up to the tier directly below them- West Ham, Everton, Villa, Us.
We're ready for it.

You get that 31 points from a Mourinho article? If so - I read that article as well, and my interpretation was that stat applies to the entire tenure of Mourinho at Spurs, not this season only. So the figure for this season will be less than 31.

Edit: Yup - as of 5th April, we'd dropped 20 points from winning positions this season.
