<p>@owl not really sure what planet or tree you on - but comparing back to the part time days when all teams were part time is fine - but not sure it’s reached your nest yet but some teams in the championship are full time - do not have to go to work to earn a crust </p>

<p>some teams in the championship are full time</p>
<p>some....London and?.....who else runs a full squad of full time players?</p>
<p>My point is ,except for London, the Championship is a much lower than SL standard part time comp.</p>
<p>....and I would ponder at a lower level than the fully part time top level of the 60s,70s 80s</p>
<p>Remember most players also played all the game as there were two subs who once used were not able to return.</p>
<p>The best players in those days were part time ,there was no alternative.</p>
<p>The players in the Championship now are far from the best players otherwise they would be in SL.</p>
<p>London fine ....a SL team in waiting ...the rest well behind.</p>
