      Let's Reduce The Prem League To 10 Teams
      Jul 28, 2009 05:14:28 pm
      Man Utd
      Liverpool
      Chelsea
      Arsenal
      Everton
      Aston Villa
      Fulham
      Tottenham
      Westham
      Man City

      Every team meets 4 times- twice home and twice away 36 matches instead of 38 gives a 2 week winter break which all the managers are screaming out for. And great matches every week instead of the dullfest many of the games provide.

      One team to get demoted each season- one team promoted from the championship

      Lets face it, the bottom half are just making up the numbers

      What does everyone think?

      So that way it would mean that at least 30 teams would play in the Championship in the 1st season. At least 5 teams would need to get relegated from the Championship, and only 1 would get promoted. That way the lower leagues would get overfilled with all the clubs being relegated and only a few clubs going up. It wouldn't work.

      What about 5 leagues

      prem league (A)  one team relegated
      prem league (B)  one team promoted  three teams relegated
      championship    three teams promoted three teams relegated
      league 1          normal system
      league 2          normal system

      league 2          normal system         
      To create another league would be sooo much trouble. And what about Europa League and Champions League? If there would be 2 Premier leagues, that would mean that teams from both leagues should play in Europe. And if only prem league a teams could play in Europe, that would mean that 6-7 teams gets to play in Europe, 2-3 teams get nothing, and 1 team gets relegated?

      There should be a super league with the likes of R.Madrid, Barca, Inter, Liverpool etc.

      There is such a league. It's called UEFA Champions League ;)

      Keep it the way it is, i enjoy the meetings with lower teams (Derby last season anyone?) although this year i think if we had had that league we would have won it right? Mmm food for thought ;D

      I think it's one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.

      How could you even judge who gets to play in the league and who doesn't.

      i think the prem is fine as it is... you can say the others are making up the numbers, but when its towards the end of the season you see some of the lower teams pull of miracle results and it can be exciting to watch as a neutral.

      Definitley! The relegation battle is very entertaining! Can't say the lower half are just making up the numbers.. Bit offensive that.

      Might as well jump on the SPL bandwagon to bring the Rangers/Celtic to the Prem.

      Leave it alone, i say. Biggest and best league in the world, doesnt need to be tinkered with. Nice concept though and it may happen in the distant future.

      In fairness, that is a very competitive league. There'd be no more sh*te matches, of the caliber of like Stoke vs Bolton.

      The premiership is fine as it is !! by far the most entertaining league of all ( which is why we are the envy of europe and Mr Platini ) the lower half of the league plays a big part by making the top teams alter their gameplan to suit ,after all if we only played 10 teams we would stagnate in our tactics ...leave well alone please !!
