Premier league chiefs are considering the possibility of introducing a 'play off' system for the Top 20 teams in the league to add interest at the end of the regular season in May.
The idea was proposed by Bolton Chairman Phil Gartside, who spoke to Sports In Shorts. '' Yeah, It wer my idea, good innit!. What I think we should do once every team has played 38 games is get the top 2 teams to play a 7 match 'head to head' with any draws going to replays in addition to the 7 games. Whoever wins the most will be crowned the Champions and gain entry to the Champions League, the runner up would also qualify for the Champions League as would the 3rd and 4th placed teams after the clubs who finished 3rd to 20th have to play each other home and away again with 3 points for a win, 2 for a draw and minus 5 for a loss. But you would also get a 'bonus' point for every goal you score, and minus bonus points for every goal you concede!. However that finishes will be the final table''.
Our reporter then asked Gartside how he planned to fit in all these extra games!. ''Don't worry, I've thought of that, I'm not just a pretty face!. Instead of 90 minutes, the games will be 15 minutes each way, that way we'll be able to play 3 or 4 games every day including travel time, or another possibility would be to play all these games on Pro Evo Soccer on me new Playstation 3!?!''.
Premier league clubs will be voting for the new idea at the next Premier League meeting which is being held at The Ramada Inn Reading, 2 weeks on Tuesday ago.
