It keeps the league dynamic - and there's no guarantee the Cubs in this scenario are actually good enough to compete in AAA. Lower leagues of various soccer teams can and have blown the hell out of larger, more popular clubs through good strategy and determination.
Which is why I think this will blow over soon. It’s a game of poker right now.
Liverpool's manager is threatening to walk over this.
It’s probably a way to leave as results have been poor for Liverpool for some time. Anyway let’s hope cooler heads prevail as any action against the teams will have consequences for both sides.
Nonono, Schalke is still organised like a small local football club, its member vote, not shareholder vote.
How were they able to buy so many good players that is now forcing the club to bankruptcy?
Players might not want to stick around and deal with being stuck in a minor league, and I assume things like the money from advertising and such is much less than at the top level, so it'd be more of a direct hit to the pocketbook to keep some of the players around. And every once in a great while you get somewhere like Eibar which manages to get up to the top tier and stick around.
Multiball when
It would be bullshit, you'd never see anything cool with shitty teams upsetting all these hyped teams. And when the Patriots started to suck because Brady left, they'd still be in the league, except they wouldn't suck because they'd have their own league with higher revenue they could steal players from the "lesser" NFL teams. And the NFL is still pretty fucked since it's probably rigged in favor of stud players and their teams because that's what makes the money. like how Peyton Manning and the Colts would always get referee "favors" back in the day.
