[QUOTE="higgik, post: 1036345, member: 74704"] Yes, I understand about jeopardy, but relegation is not about meritocracy. Just look at football, the league positions are well correlated with financial status and NOT playing ability. All that will happen is big money will buy the best players, and those clubs without backing will not be able to afford squads even up to the salary cap. I always find it amazing, that in the most capitalist country in the World, runs sport in a socialist way, (and I mean typical socialist practice), so that those in the cartel earn more together than they would individually. In this country, we still believe in true capitalism, where the fittest survive, but that will only end with fewer clubs capable of maintaining the demands. Look what is happening to football. The top 6 want to earn even more money, Leicester and Wolves have just had some serious investment, enabling them to compete and the promoted teams will probably be the 3 relegated teams last year. Sounds familiar doesn't it. [/QUOTE]
