Or better still, scrap the Magic weekend and declare whoever is top of the table after 26 rounds (i.e. each team plays each other home & away) the champions!

Agree they should scrap the pointless Magic weekend but I like the concept of the playoffs and can't see any negatives. The only possible team that can feel badly towards the playoffs is the team that finishes top but doesn't win the GF. For the team that finishes 4th for example but doesn't get anywhere in the playoffs, their progress is identical whether there are any playoffs or not - they will finish 4th, and will build in an identical way towards next season.

And how exciting is the end of the Premier League? Not at all? Who cares that Man Utd won the league? The Man Utd fans I knew hardly seemed to care, it was a forgone conclusion for ages.

Man Utd were in the same boat as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City. It was still completely dull.

The players would all leave for another league - like the union boys seem to be doing with France - and ours to union.

Was he not refering to the salary cap in RL? I was refering to the fact that premiership teams are in the same boat too with what is realistically the same "constraints".
