To me, the issue is not so much the lower leagues being full of whales, but the promotion of average teams alongside them as fodder.
In my team's case, I have had a season with a .500 or better record three times out of nine seasons. I think my cumulative record is in the neighbourhood of 55 games below .500. Nevertheless, I am in gold in last place seven games under, earning very little pp to continue with collections, and am still not in a "to be relegated" position.
Now, don't get me wrong, that is all fine with me, but what was foretold by those I asked on here early on about competing with whales is not really what has happened. It was suggested that eventually those whales would filter on up and I would be left to compete with teams more at my level.
I suppose that still may happen, but I think the point I am making is for every whale to rise to the top, there needs to be weaker teams in the league for them to beat. Honestly, I am not surprised to learn that some teams "tank" in order to get relegated.
This is not meant as a complaint but just to offer another point of view.
