Man Utd also got 89 in the "Aguerooooo!" season and Spurs got 86 when Chelsea won the league in 2017. All are relatively recent and show how many more points are needed to win the title these days.
At the other end, we could see 4 teams finish on fewer than 30 points, though admittedly Forest had 4 deducted. The days of 40 being the target seem long gone.
Definitely getting more stratified.
The big 6 plan to start snuffing out all lesser opposition and any competivity to their entitlement is starting to settle in then. They will be pleased, now just need to neuter that pesky independent financial overseer before he arrives.
