Just shows what franchises really mean in sport = MONEY.
They surely would never allow this to happen in football, they aint that stupid. You watch if they tried to all hell would break loose.

I maybe wrong but I am sure that I heard on the radio that the FA want the government to bring out legislation to stop this from happening - this in itself goes to show what a ridiculous idea it is in any SPORT. It would be interesting to see if any such legislation is introduced.

Simple it's football

Bribery

Yer but too many clubs are now owned by foreigners which is why this has come up, they are the ones wanting no relegation so there needs to be some way of stopping them doing what they want with OUR game (football is the national sport) even though RL can be far better at times we all know.

For the last couple of mornings, Dave Whelan has been talking about this subject.
He has said that if no promotion or relegation was introduced then he would withdraw Wigan from the Premiership.
I appreciate that he now has nothing to do with Wigan Warriers who are in a League with no Promotion or relegation,

BUT, He was happy with the position when he was involved with Wigan Warriers, Is his stance now that, he knows Wigan Athletic could get relegated before the proposals come in?

Just a thought.
