As the play-offs kick off for the 40th time, a delve into the @EFL archives to find out where the idea came from. Football was broken in the 80s. Liverpool, Everton, Man Utd, Spurs & Arsenal threatened a breakaway Super League. Out if the chaos, the play-offs were born. 👇

I delved into the EFL archive to find out how the play-offs were born for @guardian_sport: 🥵 4th-bottom of the league above used to compete with three teams below 🤯 Idea for most corners to decide the final after away goals 😡 There was a signicant early backlash

In the inaugural play-offs, fourth-bottom in the top-flight competed against third, fourth and fifth in the second tier. If they didn't win they were relegated... Can you imagine that today?

Burnley's interest payments increased 32.6 per cent as the cost of ALK Capital’s leveraged buyout continues to weigh on the club. The club also lost £28.5m the last time they were in the Championship, despite a £59m profit on player sales.

A council planning meeting to discuss major work on the South Stand scheduled for next week has been cancelled. I'm told it will still go ahead later this month, but Bournemouth have been forced to push back plans and cut additional seats next season. Full story 👇
