We know about things like FFP and home grown talent. But the teams at the bottom of the table generally come up one season from the Championship and then go down the next season.

How would you change this? Or should it be changed?

I still think City are going to be hard to beat this season which would make it about a million league titles in a row. It’s fair but is it ‘fair’ to all the other teams in the bottom half?

    I think there’s no one big change you could implement, it needs to be a series of major changes enacted in conjunction. Saying that, mine would be:

    1. Some form of fan ownership as mandatory, probably along the 50+1 model.
    2. Strict wage caps.
    3. Strict limits on the number of foreign players allowed in a squad/first XI.
    4. A more even distribution of TV revenue throughout the league.

    Without the other changes then instituting fan ownership could lead to a situation like in the Bubdesliga where one already successful club with the largest revenue dominates permanently.

    Of course there are potential issues with all of these, not least that fans would likely have to accept that English clubs would not be as competitive in Europe as the PL no longer commands the highest salaries.
