They ruined the EFL Trophy with that compromise and made it completely pointless.
It's supposed to have the academy players of the top teams play the lower league sides' first team players.
When do they schedule it? During the international breaks, when the academy players are away.
Utter idiocy.
The finances of the whole league need to be readdressed.
Parachute payments are not the way to go, as it creates situations like that of Norwich.
Go up, grab the cash and basically accept your relegation without a fight, as you'll have plenty of money.
Just give the money to the division as a whole and increase the overall amount.
No argument with any of that.
