The lack of jeopardy is there in many aspects though:

the no relegation thing means "there's always next year". Teams have gone from being the worst to winning the whole thing in a very short space of time.

There's no threat of financial ruin from being s**t basically. Some teams have been crap for decades but there's no risk of them "doing an Oldham" (Premier League to non-league).
