The current football regulator is recommended by someone high up at Arsenal and close to Starmerfuher. He won't do anything it's all window dressing.

It’s obviously all being done to give Spurs and Man City the best chance possible of Promotion back to the Premier League.

It's the Americanisation of sport - Dead rubbers are fine, if you want your matches to matter then fucking win more in the majority of the season.

True from an American.

They messed up our own sport, baseball, by doing the same thing years ago.

It's one of the most boring live sports ever.

Why must these cretins always try and tinker with a product that already works so well?!

Saying that, it could go in our favour next season and beyond if we continue to make a complete pigs ear of things!

Greed and money. Lets not pretend its for any other reason and certainly not for the fans. if this comes in we might as well just do a lucky dip for the whole league for a golden ticket promotion place

I'd leave it as it is, personally but I don't think it's as bad as some are making out though.

Let's have a league competition, then after that have a cup competition that decides who gets promoted - great idea

It's shite in the national league, the 2nd and 3rd teams have to sit around whilst a team that could have finished miles can build up a head of steam. Crap system

It’s like me saying something bad about beans and toast, mate.

it’s an acquired taste. I suppose I grew up with it so I think it’s amazing.

Don't agree that this is an 'Americanisation'. That would be doing away with promotion / relegation altogether, not widening its scope.

I don't think it will be an improvement, though. The POs work as they are. Sixth feels like a decent enough achievement over a season to warrant it; eighth feels like upper mid-table.

It’s easy. Top 2 go up. Bottom two go down. Top 2 team’s keepers play in a winner takes all Wembley game with one player sent from each of the other 20 teams. First person to score their team goes up.

How do you sort out the final relegation spot?
