The Prem is in trouble in my opinion, the Championship is a strong enough competition to generate its own interest.
Many of the Prem matches, even the big ones, are rubbish to watch and without the crowds in the stadiums are also lacking any sense of occasion.
Sky and Match of the Day are desperately trying to hype it up but I suspect they know it is dying on its feet right now, with Man City resuming normal service at the top the only thing left is the last relegation slot and VAR. And VAR is getting past being a talking point now.
Great transfer window for the Boro though, at least the club is going for it and it will be interesting to see how it works out.
