No it's not. Failure should not be rewarded just as success should not be equally unrewarded.
It doesn't matter what they do re, the top of the Eredivisie because, by and large, the same 4 teams always finish in the top 4 positions but it's a different story at the bottom.
I think Cambuur and de Graafschaps advocaats will be all over this and rightly so. And, as usual in the Netherlands, the KNVB will be made to tow the legal line. It won't be the 1st time.
