So, the Big Four completely dominate the prem (alto we beat arsenal and humbled liverpool twice  ) Would it be an idea to intorduce a playoff system to decide winner of prem league?? Say the top 8 teams play each other in a knockout format: 1st v 8th 2nd v 7th 3rd v 6th 4th v 5th Over two legs and whoever wins overall wins the prem I think it would be a good incentive for teams to compete and to try and get into top 8 Discuss... |

no!
the reason they have 1st position in the league is that whoever comes "1st" wins!
it's a novel idea i know
besides i think getting into europe and therefore having to finish in the top 8 is incentice enough for most sides outside of the top 4

Maybe do it for one of the Champions League spots but not for the title- If you finish top then you've earned the title!
Also do it as 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th compete for fourth but as follows
Game A - 7th plays 6th
Game B - Winner of Game A plays 5th
Game C - Winner of Game B plays 4th
Fact of the matter is that it won't happen though because the big 4 will completely oppose as they know there is a risk that they won't qualify and that will cost them money!
I also think in general it shouldn't be done because you've earned your place in the league and deserve to stay wherever you've finished.

Yh i no, BUT, no one wants to be in get into the Europa league cos its an extra 19 games, and certainly our squad or anyones team in the bottom half of the prem dont have the squad to cope with the extra games

I'm not for it either mate.
They only do it in Rugby because nobody gives a shit about it and it adds a bit more excitement.
United deserve to win the league this year because they are the best team.

i'd be quite happy if we got into the europa league to be honest
money and prestige means far more chance of attracting better players and therefore building the club towards an established Premiership name
onwards and upwards my friend

Sorry to be saying this but what a load of crap.
Wots next the team that finishes bottom plays the team that finishes top and if the bottom team wins over 2 legs they get to stay up and the team that finishes 17th gets relegated.
Actually I have a great idea, have a league of 20 teams and you all play each other twice and those who get the most points wins the league and those with the least gets relegated and so on and so forth, oh fuck my idea has been used already. Damn been beaten to it by the FA some 120 years ago fuck

nah its a poor enough idea but the 1 thing that should be changed IMO is that the top 3 teams in the Prem should get the Champo's league places and the other should go to the winner of the FA cup. This would spread the wealth around a little bit more and succeed in adding some value to a once great cup that has been horribly de-valued in the last decade, none more so then the Shite pissing off to America instead of competing in it s holders!
I am aware this will never happen as the top 4 have too much power and would never risk missing Champo's league football but its a nice idea IMO
