except millions of pounds in prize money

i did the maths and i’m pretty sure it was better financially to finish a single place higher in the prem than to fully win the fa cup, which is fucking ludicrous

(i’m not necessarily disagreeing with you here)

The playoffs as they are are great by the way. No need to fuck about with them by dropping in Steve Bruce

Probably with using The Neutral Stadium for that sort of thing is the high likelihood of Fulham being involved.

Urgh, beaten to the punch.

Remember Chelsea getting relegated by Middlesbrough in 1988 using this format. Notorious scenes.

Theoretically yes, but in practice it doesn’t seem to incentivise them. Doing just enough to survive is all most of those clubs (or at least the heirarchy of those clubs) care about.

only thing I’d not love about going mad and having that many teams promoted would be that you’d get an aspect of the ‘top 4 = a trophy’ attitude that exists in the prem

A Chelsea supporting fan told me about that, one of the scariest games he’s been to. I think we were the first team to win the playoffs in 1989 when there were no top flight teams involved.

bloody hell, when Derby had that terrible season and only won a single game their top scorer in the league got 6 goals

Sunderland in 2005/06, no one scored more than 3 in the league for them

i reckon finishing 20th should come with an extra punishment
