It's called moving with the times and evolving, Reve. They keep interest going until the last game, tv companies want to televise them and the supporters want to go to them meaning extra money for clubs in a time when most are struggling.

For 100 years, 2nd place in the 2nd tier meant something. Just ask any Dundee United fan how come United are in the top league having last won the 2nd tier in 1926.
