And yes the last placed team in the division above is thanking their lucky stars. The next season they might not be that lucky.

I know this model is not perfect but it seems pretty fair to all parties.
This is exactly what I think would make sense. Let the flow-up happen if they want it. Otherwise, leave it alone.

Pushing a team up that doesn't want to be there, will NOT benefit a single person.
