The Championship
Best League In Europe? http://www.thesefootballtimes.net/#!the-best-championship/c16s3
Patrick Owen-Smith returns with an intriguing look at why the Championship, England's second tier of professional football, may well be the best league in Europe. Using a number of defining factors, Pat puts his point across - and it's hard to argue.
Ok ok, so the title is somewhat provocative. In terms of overall quality, TV audiences and finance (which many do seem to see as a barometer of a league’s quality), the Championship is by no means the “best” league in Europe. Yet with just five games to play this season, the second tier of English football is proving to be far more exciting, tense and interesting than any of its counterparts, domestic or otherwise.
Much of the reason for this stems from the fact that the level of competition in the Championship seems to be far more balanced than other so-called top leagues. Wherever you glance around Europe, almost every title race is a foregone conclusion. Spain’s perennial two-horse race was over even earlier this year as a result of Real’s slow start, whereas the lack of competition in the Premier League title-race is proving to be incredibly dull. Meanwhile, Juventus and PSG also look to have one secure hand on their domestic titles, and even in the otherwise wonderful Bundesliga, it seems more than likely that a prolonged period of Bayern dominance is beginning........................cont [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

As it says, not the best, but very exciting. Just to prove it: Sheff Wednesday on April 1st were 4th bottom. Right now, on April 13th, they are 9th and six points from play offs. All because of three wins (at this moment in time as they are beating Leeds 1-0) [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

It's definatley the most lucrative in the send that promotion is worth more than winning the Champions League. How crazy is that?!
