Anyone for more Americanisation of the sport...?

Here's a novel idea, perhaps all 24 teams in the league could play each other in a set of 46 play-off matches, with the teams being awarded points for how they get on in these play-off matches, then at the end of the season the team with the most play-off points get promoted?
All the excitement of the play-offs, for nine months of the year! |  | | |  |

I don't know how anybody watches Bristol City in the play-offs last season and thinks let's have the 8th-placed team in as well. |  | | |

I tell ya it’s a disease these corprate money grabbing charlatans. Look at FIFA as well with their distribution of WC tickets.

As a viewing spectacle then you are absolutely correct! but for a fan, keeping that dream alive for one more game is priceless :)
More money for the clubs, albeit at the expense of us fans | | | |

The 24 teams in the championship should be divided into 6 groups of 4. The top 2 teams of each group automatically qualify. The best 4 3rd place teams also qualify. The remaining 2 3rd place teams + the 6 4th place teams then have 4 play offs The play off winners qualify along with the 4 best losers of the 4 play offs. All 24 teams who have qualified play in a 46 game league where each team plays each other home and away. Top two are automatically promoted. Next 4 teams have a play-off. The bottom 3 teams plus any team with an ‘x’ in its name are relegated. |  | | |

Peter Ridsdale wants to extend the play-offs to incorporate the 7th and 8th place sides also.
Not sure why him, given Preston won't finish anywhere near it anyway. | | | |
