Besides it would still make meaningless games because as soon as a team knows they are in the top 7 then why bother?

Staying in the top 7 will be harder and give extra incentive to all the middle table clubs, don't see any problems with it, the team that finishes runner up to the medal places isn't automatically guaranteed a place at the top table anymore, big deal.

They are also capable of breaking into 4th then and earning the place. Not trying to stay in the top 7 to try and get the play-off spot. The money argument is rubbish because Spurs and I think Villa have spent more than Arsenal and Liverpool but fail to break though.

Neither have spent more than Liverpool, Rafa has wasted hundreds of millions.
