Interesting. Will feel a lot more like Premier league.

I honestly think it would be nice to have something to care about other than the championship. But .... We will see if people actually care.

Our cup competitions span large parts of the season instead of a single month. Even the truncated format of the FA for Premier league sides who enter at the 3rd Round is 5 months. The league cup again even in shortened format for teams in European competition is 4 months.

Plus the group stage puts the format much closer to the Champions, Europa and conference league formats.
