I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to call you out. I love baseball.


And I love ufc, good breakfasts and pepsi, so what?

I prefer to call it rebuilding on the fly rather than half tanking, but it's the only way to compete at the top level consistently. Thankfully, I've only had to do it twice in 18 top flight seasons and won the relegation playoff both times.
Roster renewal is a massive challenge in this game - at all levels.

So does the NBA: "What is going on is rebuilding. [...] There’s an awful lot of chatter out there in the land and I continue to hear the ‘T’ word." -Adam Silver, commissioner of the NBA.

You can't tank in soccer. there is no point to tank because there is no draft

You buy players with cash, you 'rebuild' to save cash, which doesn't vary much.

You don't tank in European Soccer to get a better Economy. You tank if your economy sucks and you can't afford to reinforce your team.
None of the teams WANT to relegate - revenue is so much lower at the second level, that often times even the last place finisher in Div.I will have more revenue than the winner of D.II.

Lyon is the exception to the rule.
