Yeah, that's what I meant. Division One to that. Add in the TV deals and new trophy to a 100 year old institution, I can imagine it would get some backs up

"Wasn't alive at the time but was the football to the Premier League controversial?

Initially it was The FA Premier League and Division Two became Division One, etc.

Premiership came in a year later then a few years down the road (mid 2000s) the new Division 1 (the old Division Two) changed to The Championship, the new Division 2 (the old Division Three) became League 1, etc.
