How is it weird logic? The 6th place team can miss out on Europa league football to a team who finishes 10th or 11th if that team wins the FA Cup. So it's already possible to qualify for Europe ahead of a team who's finished higher in the league than you. People are saying it wouldn't be right and should never be introduced when it's already possible.

I explained already, they are two different comps. The winner of the LC gets into Europe on merit. League form has nothing to do with it.

Exactly this! (Not often we agree on stuff FoAR) 🤣
At present in the Championship there’s a 17pt gap between 3rd and 6th, which may reduce or increase but for me it would be shocking that Leeds have worked their backsides off then to get knocked out in the playoffs by a team who are 17pts worse off points for the sake of making money for the powers that be, just doesn’t sit right with me!

Definitely not! The play-offs idea ridiculous!
Teams earn the right be promoted over the season, a team can finish 3rd but then can lose out to a team finishing 6th it’s just not right!

Agreed, entertainment wise and adding the wembley factor and adding excitement to more teams but reality is 3rd could finish on 30 more points than 6th... theres already a 17 point gap between 3rd and 6th as it is now... now in a one off game losing to that 6th place team when youre 30 points better must be gutting.
