Yorkie Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 A tournament (play-off) between 17th, 18th and 19th I could probably get on board with, it might be interesting/exciting, but you can't be finishing dead last and still have a shot of survival. Maybe even 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th - with the bottom two guaranteed to go down - therefore mirroring the top of the division below. Could have positive competitive ramifications, certainly moreso than having one, two or three teams adrift. Last season would've been: Southampton 40 Everton 39 Leeds 38 Burnley 35 Should have a play-off for the European places, too, even if it's just 6th vs 7th (or 7th vs 8th) for the final spot. I appear to be all in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I feel dirty saying it but I could get on board with an all star game, as long as there's some rules in place that don't just make it a 'big 6' circlejerk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soccer all-star game is always a torrid affair but in other sports (mostly baseball and basketball) it’s quite good. Offers a nice little mid season break for a lot of players too. It also raises the profile for a lot of the fringe-team players so ie: players like ASM would get a run out from us and it helps pull the spotlight our (and his) way a bit. I wouldn’t be wholly against the concept of it out of hand but it would have to be done the right way for it to be useful/successful. Especially if the $$ it brought in was used for helping out the football pyramid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 An 'all star' game would be absolutely shite. Meaningless friendly that neither clubs, players or fans give a single fuck about. Some kind of relegation playoff might be feasible but certainly not involving the cunts finishing 20th with still a shout in staying up. The real issue is the fact that most top division football leagues are stupidly uncompetitive. Same teams winning the leagues year on year aside from the very odd upset. We're in September and its obviously clear that Man City are going to win the league for what will be the 5th time in 6 years. Its utterly fucking boring.

gbandit Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 It’s just a bit odd though, football is the biggest global sport by an enormous margin and the premier league is the most successful league out of any sport worldwide right? I understand why people come up with daft shite like the hundred in cricket because it’s struggling but why try to come up with loads of new ideas for something that’s working? The reason the football pyramid is fucked financially is down to rampant capitalism, not some flaw in the system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
