The EFL Board is discussing the possibility of expanding the Championship play-offs to include those clubs who finish seventh and eighth in the division – and there is widespread support for the idea amongst club bosses, Sky Sports News has been told. The proposal has been put forward by the Preston North End chief executive Peter Ridsdale – former chairman of Leeds United, Burnley, Barnsley and Cardiff – who discussed the idea with other Championship executives earlier this month. Ridsdale is one of three Championship CEOs who represent the division on the EFL Board. Sky Sports News has learned that the idea was formally communicated to the 24 Championship clubs by the EFL last week, and having had positive noises in response, the EFL Board is now considering the plan.
