Even if they struggle next season, which they probably won’t, they’ve captured the American bandwagon audience for at least a year.
With 7th being a play off spot, even in a mediocre season they’ll still be in with a shot of getting something until the final few weeks. I think the Americans are here to stay for a few more years.
League 1 is where I think interest will wane. The magic and novelty of chasing promotion will have worn off and a few years of mid table nothingness will drive away all but the most dedicated international fans.
It’s telling though how important the American market is to their success that they’ve got a sponsorship that doesn’t sell their product in the UK.
