Yes but what happens if you get promoted with two games to go and have no hope of avoiding relegation back down at the end of the season? You'd have teams deliberately losing to avoid early promotion while other teams would also try to lose to make sure you did get promoted before the end of the season! Also what would you do with fixtures, you'd not be able to play all the teams so I'm assuming you'd just finish of the fixtures of the relegated team. I think maybe a one or two goal start for the teams in the bottom three would make it funny. Derby would then have 90 mins to cling on to a 2-0 lead as Arse attack right from the kick off.
