The flip side is you could get a team like Forest that finish fourth and everyone says, well, they absolutely deserve to make it because they've overperformed so much. And then you put them into a playoffs and then it gives, I don't know, a a man silly a second chance yeah and obviously they then take it so that would be the counter argument i also don't dislike the idea of a kind of 17th place

uh, being taken around the world. Sure. I would say most likely to the States. I don't think the premier league will be the first to do it, but we know La Liga are desperate to do it. We know Serie A would do it. We know UEFA would do it with the champions league. Um, it could be something like that. It could be, how do you bring the viewer closer to the action?
