Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2258047, member: 1853"] You are correct - it does deserve to be done right and I would imagine it wasn't talked about much during the season so that they could get it right. Michael Searle and some others have been doing a lot of work for a long time, quietly and in the background on this commission and getting it set up properly. Going public about it all along the way would have just created an opportunity for detractors to snipe and criticise and have too many people giving their input and opinion, which ultimately would have led to it not being done right. Plus it would have been another distraction from the awesome on-field action this past year. The difference being that all 16 club CEOs voted against expansion beyond 2013 - it would take 16 people/organisations going back on their word not one greedy "could-have-been-but-never-really-was-that-great" believing too much in his own hype. FTR I don't have a problem with no expansion before then. Expansion is another thing that needs to be done right. Though I would like any clubs to be included in an expanded competition to be given at least 12-18 months notification that they are going to be in, so that they can get themselves set up to hit the ground running and not trying to get organised at the last minute.
