At least according to this. Or a private club as there is no relegation envisaged.

If the big boys want their train set to themselves then let them go, the world will still continue to turn without them.

Funnily enough i’ve Been thinking to myself that this may happen. Am I alone in finding that there is now so much football on TV that I often don’t bother to even glance at games which 10 years ago i’d have been really excited about. I’ve even reached the point where I find the NFL show more interesting than MOTD, with the same old same old each week.

Globally owned, foreign coached, 85% overseas players, supporters from all over the world paying TV/streaming subscriptions for the big games and merchandise. Liverpool have as many supporters in China, Africa and India as they do in the UK, they can sell out stadiums playing friendlies in Australia, USA and Canada.
It's no longer the same game we knew when Alan Shearer and Matt Le Tissier were banging in goals, let alone the 70s and 80s.
Maybe it is best to let the cream of the league go so we can see more Bournemouth clubs developing the next generation of British footballers.
