I see Cayton is having a last hurrah and welcome back pal. Just want to say it's been a great pleasure running the PL again and hopefully next season we may well see more people taking part. Good luck for today if you've entered.
Who will we be playing next season from the Prem? I want Leeds to stay up and want Everton to drop but, it's a big task and we will know all come the full time whistles. Crazy time for all to kick off don't you think?
NB. As a footnote, did you know the following?
Dropping into the second tier of English football is a costly experience as clubs face up to a huge deficit in the amount they receive from television payments.
"It wipes £60m off the revenue line overnight," Dr Dan Plumley, principle lecturer in sport finance at Sheffield Hallam, told BBC Sport.
"This is the difference between the guaranteed EPL television payment per season and the first year of parachute payments following relegation.
"The most recent available revenue figures in 2022 stood at £181.0m (Everton), £189.2m (Leeds United) and £214.6m (Leicester City). Relegation would put a significant dint in that figure.
"The most recent of the three to have been in the Championship (Leeds) earned £54.2m in that year (2020) highlighting the enormity of the revenue gap between the leagues."
Get ready for a fire sale at one or two clubs. I hope Taylor/Scott are keeping close tabs on the Hjelde situation.
