I think this symbolises a point football has reached, where it has to decide what it stands for.
From an entertainment value perspective, this might be fun: fewer dead rubbers, possibly 1st legs abolished with an eliminator system that means every game has an immediate, direct consequence.
From a sporting merit perspective, this would be a disaster: you shouldn’t be allowed to finish 8th over a 46-game season, and play in the Premier League next year.
I would argue the damage to sporting merit would outweigh the entertainment value.
Let the competition provide the entertainment, as opposed to making the entertainment dictate the competition.
@nicksmith197 @SkySportsNews An example needs to be made here. Ive seen the statement from Millwall about how they are trying hard to change their reputation and banning racists disguised as fans could be the perfect opportunity
