Superliga, the 2nd league, the Romanian Cup, are all vitiated by bad laws and regulations.
Dona is the final of the Romanian Cup. The huge stake is not the trophy, nor the bonus of 240,000 euros, but the chance to participate in the Europa League preliminaries, an opportunity offered today only by the champion status. FCSB would evolve into it if they relegated the league.
However, the European stake has only CFR, Hermannstadt does not hold the license for continental cups, being insolvency. Automatically, the final becomes less attractive.

Where did: the Lighthouse are deplorable but can play for Europe
Sibiu also confuses the play-out, which it only dominates not to relegate. Federals thought an attractive theoretical system, only they omitted a scenario like this season.
The lighthouse is the beating of the battles in the relegation group and crawls to a European Cup place. Better said, she is dragged by the system. This is because steel, oil, UTA are local, isolationist clubs.
The hottest play-off in history, as we were threatened in March, contained a club without objective. Of course, it is not a coincidence that it is precisely Dinamo – the team that Europe does not accept in its competitions, the society crossing an insolvency procedure – it is the last in the standings.
Steaua will win the 2nd League. But he cannot promote again. It's a public law club.
What sense does it make?
The federation and the league are hiding behind the law when they say they cannot prohibit insolvent clubs from participating in professional competitions. The law must be changed. The competitions are now gripped by clubs without any, continuously suspected, suspected of backstage games, which kill the suspense and amputate interest.
To a large extent, the current season was altered by the lack of licenses, for Europe, for promotion. Teams are allowed to play with each other without goals. As if you were getting an exclusively recognized driving license in your own yard.
The solution seems simple: the Superliga license to come to the pack, when possible, with the license for Europe. If you can't, don't come at all. Also valid in “B”: a play-off with formations without promotion is a gross fake.
