FA Premier League

Going into its centenary season in 1988, The Football League was forced to stave off a threat by 10 of the leading teams to break away and form a Super League, in the hunt for more television money. On the pitch Liverpool and Arsenal exchanged the Championship for four years in the late 1980s and early 90s (including the dramatic last minute clincher by the Gunners at Anfield in 1989) before Leeds United claimed the final First Division title in 1992. On the terraces changes were also taking place following the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 in which 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death during the club's FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest. All-seater stadiums were becoming the norm thanks to the extra money coming into the game via TV revenue.

Rumblings of discontent started in 1991 with The FA's unveiling of their 'Blueprint for Football' which put forward the idea of a Super League of 18 clubs. On 14th June 1991, 16 First Division clubs signed a document of intent to join the newly named Premier League, and eventually all 22 First Division clubs tendered their resignation from the League: the FA Premier League became official on September 23rd. The FA agreed to continue with three up and three down promotion and relegation, proposed a reduction of the Premier League to 20, and struck a television deal with Sky and BBC. ITV failed to get High Court injunctions against the new deal, but did seal a package with The Football League for live coverage of its games.
