Yes and no. It would get harder to promote in 2023-24, but easier in 2022-23.

In the past when situations like this have happened in other leagues, they don't relegate four and promote four. They just take the team that got forced relegation and put them in last, and relegate the bottom three, and have the league below promote as normal.

If they do that here, it wouldn't make promotion any easier this season, just harder next season.

In that case it would make it easier for the newly promoted teams to stay up in 2023-24 as only 2 can be relegated. Any way you slice it, the endgame is 20 teams in the prem.

Right, so avoiding relegation this season would be easier, but it wouldn't change promotion this season. Just next season.
