    I just started to follow European soccer, and I don't understand how the relegation system works. Can someone explain how it works in the English leagues? Thanks a lot!

    Teams that finish in the bottom 3 get regulated to lower division.

    I understand that, but then I hear talk of Sunderland being relegated down to the Nationwide league... I would have thought that they would go to First Division? Or maybe I was reading something wrong... I just would find that funny.

    Nationwide sponsor the 1st 2nd and 3rd divisions so they are refered to as the Nationwide Div 1,2,3

    IN division one the first two teams get automatically promoted. Third to Sixth then have a play off for the last promotion spot. These playoff are often amongst the best televised matches of the season.
