Epl is good, but the rest of the football league (the other three leagues/72 teams) are exciting as well. Promotion/relegation battles and watching your local team is fun.

Really low non league is fun as well. The standard is wayyy below what you'll see on tv, but it's footy at the end of the day, and being in a small ground with 300 people has a charm all its own.

So there's no reason that a team at the top of the list couldn't drop down one group per year if things were dire enough, nor someone going the other way (if they were good enough). Obviously in the real world the factor of money tends to stop this from happening, although cases like Leeds show that it's possible to be doing extremely well and go off a cliff in quick fashion...

See: The Portsmouth
Premiership and you hosed it up! Premiership and you hosed it up!
subsequent seasons
Championship and you hosed it up! Championship and you hosed it up!
League one and you hosed it up! league one and you hosed it up! etc etc.

New AFC Wimbledon have moved up pretty drat quickly.

"it doesnt matter if you get relegated so long as you beat wolves twice." is supposedly something someone said to a west brom manager once.

Can’t verify the truth of the quote but as a West Brom fan/native I can 100% verify the sentiment. Blue and white, the Wolves are shite as they say.

Rivalries are important, that's why newcastle would donate 6 points every year to keep the mackems around.
