Automatic promotion & relegation is essential for the revival of Rugby League here - even if only one-up/one-down. It hasn't done soccer and the Premier League any harm. Not against some reasonable amount of the SKY money going to the relegated club as a parachute payment.
By the way - going into Administration should also mean automatic relegation to the league below for the next season - such clubs obviously can't run their affairs well enough to afford to stay in the league they are in.
Once the carrot/prospect of automatic promotion/relegation is there, the whole game is reinvigorated.
