There is a gap between the top flight and second divisions on the continent but promotion and relegation helps keep the lower tiers relevant. It helps avoid the development of an "all or nothing" mentality.
Yeah, have to agree. It was just a talking point really.

My knowledge of baseball's structure is a bit dangerous (Major/AAA/AA/A), but I believe there are parent clubs that dictate management/rosters of lowered tiered clubs; a dynamic not found in soccer in the rest of the world.
