Nice to see we get a short mention at the end of the article.

Wonder if the FA had a word.

We now recognise that, whatever controls are put in place, it creates a possibility of altering the outcome of a competitive fixture and as such, clearly crosses an important line with respect to the integrity of the game.

So saying something like "you will be relegated no matter what" just one game into the season does not have the possibility of altering the outcome of competitive fixtures? If the FA did have a word then its obviously do what I say and not what I do when you think about the situation with the Belles. With their money means everything approach you would think the FA would encourage enterprise like this from Macc, but then again they would not want any of the "non-glamour" clubs gaining ground on the Man Citys of the world perhaps...
Not saying the original idea was a good one mind you
