O'Neill Keen On Further Fixture

Let's see exactly what the proposals are before making a final judgement. All we have so far is rumours of how it might work. If a fair system can be agreed upon then I don't have a problem with it but it must not take the place of a home game, thus losing home advantage and screwing over ST holders.

I'll await judgement until I know the facts. It's called being an adult and taking a concidered approach. If the system being mooted in the press is the one to be implemented then I agree, it's bollox but let's not jump on any bandwagons just yet.

I don't like this at all, BUT it will happen because of the £ signs. Clubs call for a mid-season break, so I think the best way of it working is as follows... Play up to 3rd Round of FA Cup as normal..Then have a 3 week break..but in the middle week of this break play these matches, thus negating the effect of travel fatigue. I don't like this seeding idea. The bottom line is that by introducing a 39th game you take away the arguement that the league 'never lies' and 'luck doesn't come into it' because the 39th game is a CUP game with league points at stake. It should therefore be done on an open draw basis, and NOT seeded to suit the top teams. I DO NOT LIKE THIS IDEA ONE BIT, but it WILL happen, so we have to look at the best way of doing it. Unfortunately most fans will be totally against the destruction of the philosophy of our league, but as we know, no one gives a xxxx about the fans.

The money for this fixture will be distributed evenly, why even bother? if everyone gets the same out of it, teams gain no advantage over premiership clubs. All this will do is make it even more difficult for teams being promoted into the PL, making it even more likely that the relegated teams from the PL do well in the Championship the next season as they have the Relegation payment and on top of that what will probably be quite a large sum of money from this 39th fixture. Of course PL clubs will want it as it only adds more distance betwean PL and the Championship. PL players will be paid more money meaning more players from overseas and any decent player in the Championship is more likely to leave their Championship side to get the extra cash off PL teams. This is a worrying move for the future of Football and it makes you wonder how any lower league side is going get enough money to keep afloat in the future. Barnet's just down the road from me and I think when this axtra game is introduced which is obviously inevitable, Barnet will be gaining my support over the club that should have had my support for my lifetime.

CHAMPIONSHIP!

I would like to see Liverpool play all their games abroad.

We the supporters, the season ticket holders, the die-hards wont have much say in the matter. Sad but true. So far, from what I've read and understand, I'm 100% against the idea, but unfortunately at the end of the day, the money men will get their way.

I'd love to know Mr Lerners views on the matter. Presumably he has been aware of these talks for some time.

Hows this extra game, touted for January, going to effect the transfer window? Surely managers can ill afford to be out of the country at this time?
