Quote: Alffi_7 "With the announcement that there will be relegation in 2021 on top of the reduced funding, the difficulty in pulling a squad together at short notice, this almost seems like a poisoned chalice.
It will be very difficult for the 12th club to remain in SL past 2021, the deck seems stacked against them. Alternatively it gives the other leading Championship clubs a strong chance of 2022 promotion, given one of their major rivals will be out of the picture...'"
It's very rare a newly promoted team doesn't get relegated anyway so that's not really a new issue for next year.
Also the clubs will have good players and wouldn't need to massively change the squad, London practically had the same squad when they came up with a handful of additions and they were brilliant.
Yeah they'll have a shorter period to get the squad together etc but if they don't make wholesale changes they won't be that much worse off then clubs any other year, yes they'll have less money but they can still get a squad together and fit for the start of the new season.
