Thank you very much for the detailed replies. It makes sense now.

A few more questions:

- What if division 1 powers Manchester United or Manchester City had a bad season. Would they be dropped to the league below them? And wouldn't that be a treat for second tier league fans to have such a powerhouse coming to their stadium?

- Do different leagues play each other and what's the talent gap between teams in league 1 and 2?

- Do league moves happen every year and are they made at the end of the season?

Thanks for answering my questions!!

Manchester City only a couple of seasons ago became one of the top teams in the league, so while thier religation would be huge, it wouldn't match that of Man Utd. Leeds United use to be one of the top clubs in England, but are now in the Championship and would be the closest to a total team collapse. (I know that was more of an anti-city rant than answering your question)

They have the League Cup and FA Cup.
The FA Cup is every team in England that is part of a league can compete. So if you had a Sunday team theoreticaly you could play the Final in Wembley agianst a Man United.
The League Cup (or Carling) is only Premier League, Championship League, League 1, 2.

There is basically no way a superclub like Manchester United would get sent down. For reference, they just had their worst season in the last couple decades by far and finished in 7th place. It would be crazy if Man U went down though.

Different divisions will play each in other cups. There is a talent difference, but I cannot exactly quantify it.

The relegation and promotion process is annual after each season.
