gotta be all the yanks with this idea. stupid idea, would take any excitement out of the league. also think relegation can be good for some teams (newcastle anyone? ). |

I think it will be good for West Ham as well, re build the side with a smaller wage bill. There has to be relegation IMO in the prem its half the excitment att he end of the year and what would be the drive to do better? |

Talk in the papers today about scrapping promotion and relegation, what are our opinions on it?Fergie thinks its suicide. I agree. But according to talks this is where the EPL is headed with so many foreign owners. |

Expect somebody to call for a draft to happen at the start of the season...followed by stopping every 15 minutes for ad's, the maybe having two teams one for attacking and one for defending followed by picking up the ball and eventually the Yanks have finally got use of the word football |

“The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.”

the thing is most foreign owners will be interested in this because they want to protect their investment but its not them who first brought it up. if i am correct i remember reading something about phil gartside? the bolton chairman calling for it to be scrapped. to me it seems that chairmen know they will lose heavily from their own pockets if they fall from the top table |

Is that what they really want? Thats plain wrong. I would be open to discuss if clubs should have to have suitable grounds & set ups to play in the EPL. Abit like when you needed certain criteria to get into the League. Anyone remember Stevenage for example? |

aye they were not allowed promotion because of their facilities. its happened a lot tho that in the lower leagues. pretty sure a few teams over the past few years have had to upgrade their stadia or risk being booted out. most championship teams tho have the facilities to play in the premiership, so i dont think that would help in any way tbh |
