filcom101 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 As the title says, seeing that its 99% sure that it will happen. I wonder if SI will put the Premier League Champions league Play-Off in Patch 3.0 ...... mmmm??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 It wont be in unless it's 100% confirmed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave7BFC Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 even if its officially announced i doubt we'll see it til FM 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4G1C1977 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 irl, i hope this proposal is not approved, i long for the days that the champions league is just that the cahampions league, with the only exceptions being auto entry for the previous years winners if they dont win their own league. Alas i may be old fashioned in my thinking, but what was wrong with that, the cup winners cup for errr cup winners and the old uefa cup for everyone else? What we have now although very marketable, well the champs league is at least is an A and B division of Euro Clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Edwards Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Even if ratified now it cannot come in for 3 seasons due to existing contracts and tv deals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGLiverpool Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 It wouldn't be in 10.3 anyway, and hopefully it doesn't get confirmed. You should be rewarded over 38 games, not chance it over 2 games where one team could hit a run of form and end up getting the Champions league spot after scraping 7th on the last day due to luck.

Egon Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 It's not 99% certain. It's an idea that's being discussed, like the 39th game was. It will have to be voted on by a full congress of Premier League teams. It would have t get at least 14 votes in favour at that congress. Public opinion would have to be factored into the teams' decisions: public opinion to an idea floated publicly only today. Even if it were to be passed, it would still not take effect until after the end of the current PL TV contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynef Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 i heard that 16 teams were in favour except arsenal, chealsea, liverpool and yep you guessed it man utd. dont know if its true or not just somthing i heard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzamark Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm sure there would be too much work involved in changing the game in time for for the patch. Will be a good feature on FM11 if it happens irl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

solstar Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 If this idea happens then the PL will start its steady decline downwards. Why would a club bother trying to get 4th when 7th would be good enough? Also if you take 4th to 7th into a playoff who gets the Eurocup places? Up to now its 4th gets Champions League and 5th and 6th get Europa Cup while 7th depends on FA cup result so with a playoff who gets left out, 4th?? Its bizarre and totally loony as an idea. As for the game, it wont be in till its confirmed and that'll probably be FM11 or FM12 if there is one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Unless it's officially confirmed before the patch is done, no. Basically any official rules will get in, if they're not official, then don't expect to see them in FM. I've closed the thread as it's more of a discussion for the football forum.
