TooonDoom Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I’m drunk and still know this wouldn’t quite work but it would be cool if a player had to start from the third tier. To play at top tier he has to play for teams that get promoted. So simply put you can only transfer to teams in your division. Time for another glass.

jdckelly Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Look at the League One table. There's a 15 point difference between Charlton and Doncaster. You've had 46 games to try and get promoted. Why should you get another chance? If Doncaster somehow get promoted how is that fair on Charlton? everyone knows the rules going in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 If we scrapped the play offs then we would need smaller leagues. No play offs would mean that more clubs would have nothing to play for, for longer. You would essentially have a situation where for 1/3 of a season there are multiple teams not playing for anything. If you think the 15 point gaps between Charlton and Doncaster is big now, then no play offs and Doncaster and other teams would have given up and possibly wouldn’t have got anywhere near what they got. The only way to get around it would be to have smaller leagues (though possibly creating a new 5th tier). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that happened in every one of the 300 seasons previous to the introduction of the play-offs. Football was shite then, it would have been long forgotten by now if not for the play-offs. Which, incidentally were first introduce as a solution to reducing the size of the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 5 up 5 down would see Fulham, Huddersfield, Cardiff, Brighton and Southampton replaced with Norwich, Sheff Utd, leeds, WBA and one of Derby, Middlesbrough, Villa and Bristol City, I think that would make for a better league and eventually spread the TV money around more clubs.

Sho Time Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Good on her and well said Jenas. The amount of blokes who talk either talk utter fucking shite for the sake of pushing an agenda or trying to boost their profiles, or those that are just complete dullards who continue to get jobs as pundits is a joke. A lot of the women that have came in lately have been excellent, Alex Scott and that Burnley Ladies player who covered our game with them come to mind. That Eni Aluko is a spanner though.

Deuce Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Not sure what’s funnier: the thought of City being booted out the CL, or the thought of regulators actually being able to boot City out of the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 This is ancient and at least over here it resurfaces every few years, he apologizes, says he has no issues with homosexuals, and everybody moves on until the next time somebody picks it up.
