I don't get this. I feel like this is the wall between us here.
Implementing a system that allows every team a shot at the title doesn't devalue it. If West Brom win the title, they were the best team. If we're mad about that, beat West Brom.
It would ultimately come down to a head to head matchup, instead of hoping that your strength of schedule is comparable to that of your biggest rival for the title.
Thanks Mike.
Get the fuck outta here.
It devalues it because it's infinitely more difficult to win the league over the course of 38 games than just finishing 8th and fluking the play offs. I mean the sole purpose of introducing it seems to be "so more teams have a chance" so of course the achievement is of less value
