I feel for Luton and Burnley as they really competed at times. I expect Leicester, Ipswich and Leeds/Soton will make a better fist of it next season.
The step up is bigger than ever now, but you have to think they will particularly as most of them have been competitive in the Prem recently. Burnley spent £100m in the summer but that didn't get them anywhere (although Luca Koleosho looked well tidy) and the majority of Ipswich's side were with them in League One although they had a small budget in the Championship which will help them in PSR terms. Leicester have PSR issues so may need to sell before they even start to improve their squad (I assume the EFL transfer embargo doesn't apply to the Prem?). It's a brutal league.

I dunno dude. if you didn't enjoy the PL 'product' this year then not sure what to say.
I thought the product was shit this year. It's obviously shitter when you're down the bottom and not winning and know that you're going to get hammered by the likes of Man City.
But crap refereeing, and VAR in particular, makes going to watch games horrendous. It strips all the excitement and spontaneity out and leaves you with long spells of standing around wondering what the fuck is going on. Add to that the constant diving (which is constantly rewarded) and it is just a bit shit to watch.
Even though we (Burnley) suffered from some inexplicable refereeing/VAR decisions this season we fully deserved to go down. Not good enough at defending (which wasn't too big a surprise) or scoring goals (that was a real problem) with Kompany seemingly hugely naive, very stubborn and unable to resist tinkering with the team every week.

Weren't city 10 points adift at some point so don't think it was that predictable.
Arsenal and Liverpool have played some brilliant football and improvements at Chelsea and others means hopefully more competitive next season.
Bournemouth, Wolves, Palace and even your guys, all provided top entertainment this season.

I have really enjoyed the football and the drama this season. And I do feel the title was a tighter battle than recent years
