Former Premier League Star Matt Taylor Sacked as Shrewsbury Boss
Former Premier League player Matt Taylor has been sacked from his position as manager of League One side Shrewsbury.

Shrewsbury currently has the worst attack in the entire EFL, having only scored 18 goals in 28 games.
Change Needed to Improve Results and Performances

Shrewsbury will now begin the search for a new head coach to lead the team. The club wished Taylor and Bignot the best of luck for their future endeavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Premier League clubs have any financial regulations?
Financial Fair Play (FFP), also known as Premier League financial regulations, is intended to keep clubs from overspending and to encourage financial stability. These rules require that clubs limit their losses and make sure they do not outspend their revenues from football activities.

What is the function of the video assistant referee (VAR), in the Premier League?
In the Premier League system, Video Assistant Referee is used by referees to make correct decisions on goals, penalty calls, direct red-card incidents and in cases of mistaken identities. The VAR examines the footage of the incident and provides advice to the on-field referee. They can also view a video replay at the pitchside monitor, before making their final decision. The system aims to minimize human errors that could influence the outcome of a match.
How has the Premier League affected the English team?
The Premier League has a big role to play in the development and growth of English football talent. The Premier League produces many players who are chosen for the English National Team, bringing their experience and skills to international competitions. The quality of players and the competitiveness of the league are thought to be beneficial for the national team. The high number and quality of foreign players in the league has led to debates about how this affects English players’ opportunities to get regular first team football.
What happens to the Premier League teams that finish in the bottom half?
The teams who finish the Premier League season in the bottom 3 positions are relegated into the Championship. This is the second division of English football. The Championship’s top two teams, plus the winner from the Championship playoffs get promoted in their place.
How is the Premier League winner determined?
The Premier League winner is the team with the most points during the 38-game regular season. A team receives three points if they win, one for a draw and zero for losing. If both teams end the season on the same number points, the champion will be determined based on the goal differential and if required, by the number of goals. If the teams are still level, a playoff at a neutral venue may be used to decide the title, although this scenario has never occurred in Premier League history.
