    Should the premier league adopt the mexican premier division league system?

    The Primera División de México, composed of 18 teams, competes in two tournaments annually: the Apertura in the autumn and the Clausura in the spring. Following each regular season, playoffs are contested to determine the champion.
    Winners of the competition participates in the CONCACAF Champions' Cup for the Champions of North American football leagues. In addition, certain Primera clubs participate in South America's Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana.
    Each year, one team is relegated on the basis of fewest points earned per match played over three seasons. This system generally assures that well-supported clubs will not be relegated on the basis of one poor season. The relegated team is replaced by the playoff winner from Primera A.

    I'm going to go with the majority and say no. Teams shouldn't benefit from a large support base when it comes to league position otherwise Leeds might still be in the top divison!

    And what's wrong with that? :D

    I think they do something similar in Argentina as well. It's a messy way to run any league, sure you'd never have any idea where you stood, so another no from me.

    Nothing really I suppose. The Leeds that I disliked is long gone ;). I've been told by English friends that Leeds fans can be troublemakers but all clubs have their collection of moronic fans.
