Stops there being half the league without things to play for by April though I guess. I'm not sure what to think of it.Not sure how a feel about this, you could have the team finishing in 8th getting to the Prem. Also feels like a bit of a safety net for a parachute club if they were to fall a bit short.
Yeah, I think you may well be bang on with the reasoning. Gives a much better chance for the parachute teams to make it back upNot sure how a feel about this, you could have the team finishing in 8th getting to the Prem.

Relegation play off would be really interestingI like it. Keeps more of the league in play for longer whilst still leaving an advantage to finish 3rd / 4th . The less dead rubbers there are, the better imo.
I’d also do something by similar with relegation. Supporting football is about emotion and when there is nothing to play for, there’s no emotion.
Wasn't that a thing in the 80s before it was scrapped?Relegation play off would be really interesting
The reasoning is money. Might be good for us though too.Yeah, I think you may well be bang on with the reasoning. Gives a much better chance for the parachute teams to make it back up
As long as it's not like Germany where we'd have to play off against a top flight club to get promotion. Gap is too big in England.Relegation play off would be really interesting
Unfucking believable. If is not FIFA, UEFA its now the EFL the greedy bastards. Why not go the whole fucking hog and make everyone play a cup at the end of the season to see who wins that so they can play a final at Wembley. It causes enough of a problem when team 6 gets promoted over team 3 when there’s 20 point difference. Let’s make it even more of a circus and let the team that finishes 8th get promoted.
Pretty sure you're correct...i have a vague memory of Charlton playing in one of those playoff games.Wasn't that a thing in the 80s before it was scrapped?
Yep, beat Leeds to survive, and keep Leeds in 2nd tier.Pretty sure you're correct...i have a vague memory of Charlton playing in one of those playoff games.
Id like to see it bought in for relegation. Bottom 2 auto relegation. 4 teams above that play a mini league. Worst team over 3 games drops. Like sparks says, stops majority of the league sitting on the beach for the last month or so of the season. If all of a sudden mid table can either a) pull themselves in to a play-off spot or b) can get dragged in to the relegation battle! Bring it on i say!
Said everyone before the play-offs were introduced. Now theyre a staple and people love themNot for me. They might as well restructure the league if they are going to mess around with it.
If we finish 8th and got promoted, I wouldn't give any shits at all whether anyone else felt it was deserved.Unfucking believable. If is not FIFA, UEFA its now the EFL the greedy bastards.

There were 3 points separating 5th to 8th in the championship last season. 31 separated us from 2nd. We were closer to 8th the we were autos. I have no problem with it personally!Unfucking believable. If is not FIFA, UEFA its now the EFL the greedy bastards.

No but if we came 3rd and Leicester were 8th and beat us in the PO final you wouldn't feel the same about itIf we finish 8th and got promoted, I wouldn't give any shits at all whether anyone else felt it was deserved.
I dont see how its any different from 3rd to 6th? Last season Sunderland and Blunts finished 7 and 21 points ahead of us respectively. Between us and 8th were only 3 points between all 4 teams. How would us, finishing 4th, 21 points behind blunts (had got to the final and won) be any different to Millwall who finished 24 points? There is literally, no difference!No but if we came 3rd and Leicester were 8th and beat us in the PO final you wouldn't feel the same about it
Really doesn'tworks fine in the NL
Was it Middlesbrough and Chelsea? Chelsea lost.Pretty sure you're correct...i have a vague memory of Charlton playing in one of those playoff games.
Well, despite the excitement of two Wembley PO finals I'm not an enthusiast. I don't think a 46 game league season should be seen as qualification for a KO cup. A League's a league and promotion and relegations should not be determined by play offsI dont see how its any different from 3rd to 6th?
