Re: Premier League 2018-2019
So then, the Final is between Aston Villa and Derby County on May 27th, at Wembley.
We'll then know all those going up and we can lock this thread for the season.
Someone start a Premier League 2019-2020 thread once there is some significant news.

Premier League Clubs’ Record £4.8bn Revenues Widens Gap to Rest of Europe
"The Premier League’s 20 clubs made record revenues of £4.827bn in 2017‑18, paying total wages of £2.8bn, the Guardian’s annual analysis of the clubs’ most recently published annual accounts has revealed.
The combined income of the clubs, in the second year of the league’s £8.4bn TV deals from 2016-19, confirms the Premier League’s financial dominance over all other leagues in Europe, which has underpinned four of its clubs claiming all the places in next week’s finals of the Champions and Europa League.
Spain’s La Liga declared this month record combined revenues of €4.48bn (£3.86bn), for all 42 clubs in its two divisions for 2017-18, almost £1bn less than the Premier League’s alone. The German Bundesliga announced similar record revenues, €4.42bn (£3.88bn) for all 36 clubs in its two divisions. The gap with English football’s top flight is widening further despite the Europe-wide boom in the game’s popularity and TV income, due largely to the Premier League’s lucrative international TV rights and its top clubs’ European success in itself, which means they earn handsomely from Uefa TV and prize money.
The financial gap between the Premier League, whose clubs’ combined revenues were up more than £300m on the 2016-17 season, and Europe’s other top leagues is one principal motivation for the campaign by the Juventus chairman, Andrea Agnelli, and others in the European Club Association to reshape the competition structures when the agreed calendar ends in 2024. Their efforts, fiercely opposed by the European Leagues group, are focused on expanding the Champions League to give top clubs more prestige matches on a European TV platform, which would bridge the domestic leagues’ revenue gaps.
The clubs’ annual reports also illustrate the Premier League’s own internal gulf, between the top six earners – Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham – and the rest. United, the highest-money-making club, had revenues of £590m, almost five times greater than the £125m made by the two lowest-earning clubs, West Brom and Huddersfield. Spurs, the lowest-earner of the top six, still made £381m, almost £200m more than the seventh-highest-earning club, Everton.
Breaking into the top six and becoming Premier League champions has cost Manchester City’s owner, Sheikh Mansour of the Abu Dhabi ruling family, £1.3bn since he bought the club in 2008, with hundreds of millions more from Abu Dhabi sponsors. City’s turnover last year was £500m, including £232m in sponsorships, four times the revenues of Watford, whom City beat 6-0 in Saturday’s FA Cup final. City’s wage bill last year was £260m, almost exactly three times Watford’s, which was £86m."

Leicester City crash failure was 'irrecoverable' by pilot
https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/26424 ... nal-report (Photos/Video)
LEICESTER - It was not possible for the pilot to recover from the tail rotor failure on the helicopter that crashed and killed Leicester City football club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in 2018, Britain's aviation accident investigator reported on Wednesday.
Pilot Eric Swaffer, his partner Izabela Roza Lechowicz and two members of Vichai's staff, Nusara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare, were also killed in the crash shortly after takeoff outside the King Power Stadium in the central English city of Leicester following a Premier League match.
Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said that the helicopter was yawing uncontrollably and descending rapidly at a low altitude near buildings at night after the tail rotor failed. The tail rotor counteracts the torque of a helicopter's main rotor to ensure the aircraft does not spin out of control.
"The investigation found that, in the prevailing circumstances, the loss of yaw control was irrecoverable," it said in its final report on the crash.
Nevertheless, the pilot managed to land softly enough for four of the five people on board to survive the impact, according to post-mortem examinations.
"Their reported injuries would, however, have prevented them from being able to escape from the helicopter without external assistance, given the position in which it came to rest," AAIB said.
The helicopter was on its left side and its fuel tanks were damaged, resulting in a major leak that ignited quickly, according to the report.
Police officers arrived within a minute of the crash but were unable to break the helicopter's windscreen with their batons and other handheld equipment as the aircraft burned, AAIB said. The fire killed those onboard, the report said.
The investigators found that problems with the bearing in the tail rotor of the Leonardo AW169 helicopter began a sequence of failures leading to the crash.
Italy's Leonardo has since issued 16 service bulletins for the model, including additional inspection requirements, the report said.
Litigation specialists Stewarts, which represents the families of Vichai, Swaffer and Lechowicz, said the report showed there was nothing the pilot could have done to prevent the crash.
Stewarts said litigation had already begun in Italy against Leonardo on behalf of the families of Swaffer and Lechowicz and Vichai's family was considering legal recourse against the manufacturer.
"I am deeply saddened by the course of events," Vichai's son, Aiyawatt, said in a statement. "Almost five years after my father's passing, this report provides concerning evidence against Leonardo."
Leonardo did not respond immediately to a request for comment outside normal business hours.
The AAIB report said the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) had also published nine airworthiness directives for Leonardo's AW169 and AW189 models.
The final report also offered eight more recommendations to EASA, including changes to its certification requirements and the way it assesses and mitigates against potential catastrophic failures.
EASA could not be reached immediately for comment outside normal business hours.
