high league position

[mr burslem]

Are there any other prehistoric old gits like me who, although the possibility of playoffs has receded, still enjoy the rest of the season with the idea of finishing as high as possible?

Yes the highest posible league position has to be the target, then next season the aim has to be beat this years position.

If we finish in the top half, we will be seeded in the first round of the League Cup next season so that should be our first target. Anything else would be a bonus.

I didn't know that, thanks for the useful information. That is a very good reason for giving a high placing top priority.

Don't we get more prize money depending on our final league position or is that just the Premiership?

A little research led me to an answer that is a perfect example of virtually all the greed and injustice in football today.

Although the figures were from 2012, they won't have changed a lot, if anything they may be worse, but EACH placing in the Premier Greed League is worth £800,000 more than the one below - in other words 15th get £800k more than 16th and so on, as well as huge rewards for the top placings.

 

League One- wait for it, breathe steadily now... £25,000 for the WINNERS ONLY and NOTHING for anyone else. Disgraceful, and beyond belief.

Ha! That's laughable. I think it would actually be better to give no money whatsoever than that 25k to the winners and nothing else.

The prize money in the EPL is mindblowing.
