Quote: headhunter "Why would anyone be interested in a contest to determine the worst team in the league? Why would fans take pleasure from knowing that their club is one of, but not the worst team in the league, and actively be encouraged to attend matches because of that? That just seems completely backwards to me. I can't wait until people grow out of this ridiculous notion that relegation makes the league more 'exciting'.'"
Perhaps we should just have a league of the top six clubs and just show them on TV. Oh! but wait a minute! someone would still finish in last place. Someone would still be the worst club.
If you can't understand why a relegation battle might be interesting and make for some excellent and exciting games, more so than say a game where absolutely nothing at stake, then you suffer from a distinct lack of imagination.
