Stupid, Nil… (the format, not you! 😉 )
Read somewhere, that in order to qualify for the knock-out rounds, a team only needs 2 wins and 1 draw from their 8 games to 100% gaurantee going through… and it could even be less depending on results.
Of course, the higher up the table the “easier” your route through the knock-outs…but I really can’t see any neutral getting even remotely excited about games that don’t involve their own club.
The only exciting games will be the last round and involve the sides that are at risk of being knocked out… and they don’t happen until February or something…
More games, more money, happier beancounters in the backroom… that’s all it is.
