Leeds United: Kieran Maguire shares ‘Financial gap’ in new Premier League verdict
Kieran Maguire has used Leeds United among many others to prove the financial gap between the Premier League and the Championship.
The relegated teams from the Premier League last season are currently in three of the top four spots in the Championship, with the Whites third.
On top of that, those promoted to the top flight over the past two seasons are taking six of the bottom seven spots in the Premier League, as things stand.
Maguire wrote on X: “The financial gap between the Premier League and Championship highlighted by the three teams promoted from the EFL last season occupying bottom three places and those promoted in 21/22 taking three of next four.
“In Championship, the relegated team are in top four.”
Constant issue.
This is something that will forever be a problem between the EFL and the Premier League.
It is clear that the wealth of the Premier League clubs is only growing with each year, whereas those below are only seeing their money go the other way, unfortunately.
Unless your club is backed by mega-bucks, you need to be in the riches of the Premier League to really push on, but you have to use it wisely, as proven by those current struggling clubs.
The 49ers Enterprises will need to be wary of all these things, the possibility of staying in the Championship, and going into the Premier League and thriving on another level.
Daniel Farke has his team going in the right direction, but you only have to look at the chaos that happened over the summer at Elland Road to know that the financial gap is a major issue for clubs.
