In non Premier League news, Lyon defeats Real 1-0 in Champions league!

Obviously it works in the Championship before they are thiking of adopting it for the Premiership .....

As long as teams know at the start of the season the squad size and tactics can be taken into account .... for instance if teams in 4th or 5th can't catch up the top two but are guaranteed a place in the top 4 they can rest players .... give other squad players a chance to get match fit etc .....

However, It would really be more devastating for the likes of say Everton finish in that position .... which they probably won't sustain they next season and then lose the play off's ..... the fans would be gutted.

However, it takes away from the "The Champions League" even more than it already is ..... if teams who finish 8th .... just above mid table get to play in it.

The need to do something to make the Uefa Cup more interesting .....
