PRESS RELEASE

EMBARGO LIFTED – FOR IMMEDIATE CIRCULATION




West Bromwich Albion Football Club can confirm that we have today broken away from the Premier League and joined 23 other English clubs in agreeing to compete next season in our own competition: The Football League Championship.



The Football League Championship is a competition between 24 second-class traditional clubs playing home and away fixtures within the league each year. By bringing together this collection of financially crippledpowerhouse clubs, over the hill highly experienced players and managers who are "real characters of the game", the Football League Championship will deliver classic old-fashioned kick-and-rush playing styles and brand-new innovations. For instance, we are proposing that any ties at the end of the game be decided by a sudden death winner takes all hoofball shootout with the team that can kick the ball farther taking the points.



Games will be played at weekends, mid-week, bank holidays, at a relentless pace with no interest in quality or player welfarea focus on intensity, in often challenging freezing cold conditions to ensure only hardened British players and managers who are committed to getting stuck in are liable to be rewarded.



Jez Moxey, the new Chairman of the Football League Championship:

“By bringing together the world’s greatest clubs and players to play each other throughout the season, the Football League Championship will open a new chapter for European football. It's a league to save football. When I say save football I mean to save everyone, so that for the next 20 years at least we can live in peace.”



Lai Guochuan, Owner of West Bromwich Albion Football Club, said:

"We made a business decision long ago to join the Football League Championship as quickly as possible and are confident that all our customers will support this business decision."



Backing the Championship, Richard Masters, CEO of the Premier League said:

"Thank Christ they've gone."
