It's like when teams enter the Champions League Final, they stand on the field, and one coach approaches the other and asks, "Hey, buddy, what's this guy doing on the field? What's the benefit?" We thought he wouldn't even be on the field.
And of course, the other coach hugs him, smiles, and suddenly, damn it, he tells everything. :D
You've just voiced a similar logic.
Instead, why don't you explain how you came up with the idea to suggest that we remove our best team, without any compensation for us, as stipulated by the tournament rules.
"What's the benefit?"
Especially since, up until that point, we had taken full responsibility for all our difficulties and hadn't suggested revising the rules. Maybe you'll find an answer to your own question.
