Monkey Tennis Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 7 minutes ago, Ad Lib said: Promotion is *usually* at the expense of a relegated team. The essence of sporting disadvantage therefore flows from the fact that the sporting advantage of promotion has an equal and opposite reaction. When the two are not reciprocal: i.e. are deliberately decoupled, different criteria apply as to whether the proposal is fair. In this instance, reconstruction would be a recognition that external circumstances have made any plausible way of concluding the season unfair, while also recognising that outright denying any sporting advantage to leading clubs would also be perceived as unfair. My case however, is that the "decoupling" conscious or otherwise, is not really necessary. I think opposite reactions can and should occur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "all to the good" part is debatable though. If I don't see it as ultimately desirable, why would I welcome it being "pushed through" on this premise?

I think opposite reactions can and should occur. If you don't think decoupling is a legitimate option in response to these circumstances, then you should argue for either the abolition of promotion and relegation this season, or for the outright nulling-and-voiding of the season. If you accept that the literally unique circumstances of an across-the-board incomplete fixture list requires a bespoke solution that recognises no club has fully "earned" their predicament, and that some predicaments are harder-edged and therefore more unfair than others, on the other hand, decoupling is completely reasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in favour of it it's an opportunity to be seized, whether some teams benefit more than others in the short term or not.

My preferences were genuinely for concluding this season whenever, and truncating the next one as necessary, or failing that, going for null and void. Apparently, they can't happen though, so making decisions based on current standings looks fairest. I don't really buy the "harder edged" idea. That is part of football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 If it turns out to be true that we've agreed a few friendlies in exchange for our vote, a lot of people are very naive as to that being the only thing agreed. Publicly, maybe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
