The English Football Thread

My friend has educated me on the various leagues across England. He told me that teams moving to the Premiership not only go up to the top league, but they get a ton of financial incentives, such as TV rights/deals.

From what I've seen in the Sunderland documentary, those teams wind up almost never graduating to the Premier league. They develop their young talent, only to see it go to a richer club. It's basically like baseball in North America. If the Yankees need a pitcher, they'll buy the ace from Oakland, for example.
