The English league system consists of a hierarchy of leagues, with teams able to earn promotion to higher leagues or be relegated to lower leagues depending on their level of success.
The Premier League is the richest football league in the world, with enormous club revenues believed to be 40 per cent higher than the nearest competitor, the Italian top league.
While the structure of the English league remained the same for many years it was shaken up in 1992 when the top clubs broke away from the old Football League to form the Premier League.

 J.League Teams: Urawa Reds
The Reds were a dominant team in the JSL during the1970s and early 80s, when the team was coached by Kenzo Yokoyama, who would later serve as national team coach.
In 2005, the Reds put together a team that looked like a formidable power, but the sudden departure of their scoring ace, Emerson, in midseason, sent the team into a slump at a key point in the season, and the team ended up falling one point short of the league title.
Furthermore, the team's depth may allow Urawa to field a truly competitive squad in the early rounds of the Asia Champions League, perhaps raising the prospect of a strong performance in that competition as well.

The oldest (but far from wisest) League in the world was founded in 1888, and initially consisted of 12 clubs in the midlands and north of England.

In 2004 the Football League decided to call its top division 'the Football League Championship' (which presumably they thought sounded better than the 'Premiership wannabes league'), thus 'elevating' the old Division 2 and 3 to 'new' Leagues 1 and 2.
