    Interesting. Will feel a lot more like Premier league.

    I honestly think it would be nice to have something to care about other than the championship. But … We will see if people actually care.

      Our cup competitions span large parts of the season instead of a single month. Even the truncated format of the FA for Premier league sides who enter at the 3rd Round is 5 months. The league cup again even in shortened format for teams in European competition is 4 months.

      Plus the group stage puts the format much closer to the Champions, Europa and conference league formats.
