On a moot point, what is the Million pound game, because if the salary cap is the same for all clubs, should we change it to the "What a team can afford if they get relegated and for the winner it's status Quo Game?" or for short the "Status Quo Game?"
Seriously though the question whether a SL team can bounce back after a year in the Championship? Probably not because all the SL clubs will begin the process of head hunting the best players from that club, and sponsors are unlikely to spend a fortune when they know there will be very little or no TV coverage. It's an uphill battle.
I think there is some truth in that, but it's far from the whole story
There is a fair bit of difference between, 'commercial sponsorship', which is pretty much a quid pro quo business arrangement, and the standard 'Sugar Daddy', though. These people, often on the board, if not actually chairman of the clubs, are in it for more than just what they can get out - in fact they are basically fans, largely just like us, in fact except that they're but rolling in it, as it were. These people, the Hudgels, Beaumonts and the guy at Hudds [forgotten his name] etc are losing money hand over fist to keep their clubs where they are, or even in existence. Though I guess they have limits too - but to be honest, no one knows just where those limits are.
