Not saying that I want it, but I do think it would be interesting to see what would play out if the American sports leagues adopted relegation and removed salary caps/luxury taxes at the same time.
- bena 6y agoIt would get worse. There would be a set of 10 or so teams that would churn through promotion/relegation, a set of 5 or 6 teams that would win every year, then 16-ish teams that would basically serve as farm teams for the 5 or 6 big teams. The money available overall to each team is vastly different.
- username90 6y agoWhat if you want to see the best players play against each other rather than be spread out among all the weak teams in order to optimally farm their budgets? The American style ensures that there will never ever be strong teams.
- bena 6y agoDue to contracts and the draft, you'll never have that regardless. And then there are the areas where clubs are allowed to spend with abandon: the front office. Coaching staff, player personnel, analytics, etc. The "American" system does allow for strong teams, but it tries to make sure that there's more volatility from season to season.
