[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 941550, member: 73592"] And make even less likely that the cartel will ever be broken. For me, variety is the spice of life, and being good at something should lead to promotion, whilst being bad at it should have consequences. I favour democracy over aristocracy for much the same reason. Investment is needed in the championship, so that the gap is reduced, and so that relegation is no longer seen as the end for a club (which has always been ridiculous - look at Bristol, or Leeds, or hell, even LWelsh still exists!). IMO cartels are bad things, protection-rackets are bad things, attitudes such as "I'm alright Jack, so the rest of you can go duck yourselves" are bad things. There are no upsides to ringfencing, but a hell of a lot of downsides. TL,DR enshrining anti-competitive practices into a competition is self-contradictory, and makes a mockery of the entire concept of sport. [/QUOTE]
