Anyone else think increasing the play offs to 6 teams is a terrible idea?

Clubs will potentially sack managers with even more frequency
Transfers to try and get in will go up, but more clubs will gamble with money they don't have.
Crazy new owners and takeovers will spill in, until you have situations like Reading and Sheff Weds.

Sounds like one huge default

- Yes but nothing to do with those reasons (n/m) (Other Football) - Legacy Fan, Feb 22, 10:09:58
- Why would they change managers more often? (Other Football) - mr carra, Feb 22, 07:41:15
  - Because teams having an iffy season will think a fresh start might get some quick (Other Football) - Lentil Weaver, Feb 22, 08:00:20
- So what you're saying is it will keep the season alive for more teams for longer? (Other Football) - Kangol Canary, Feb 22, 07:28:41
  - It could also make the league very stale (Other Football) - Lentil Weaver, Feb 22, 08:03:59
    - Maybe it would give the top 8 more play for, if 3rd/4th had home advantage? (n/m) (Other Football) - APB, Feb 22, 10:42:00
    - Why change something that works (Other Football) - kye, Feb 22, 08:35:08
      - Agree, I think it would turn a season into a cup knockout rather than a league (Other Football) - Lentil Weaver, Feb 22, 08:44:50
