Sounds absolutely awesome. Can they bring it in just in time for the franchise applications to be looked at? No stadium to play at = FAIL! Fingers crossed.

So Wigan are out. I'd let Hull stay as I like them.

But a serious point in all this is that the planning permission would never in a million years be granted for new stadium sights with single use plans. Won't happen. Having multi-use aspects is one of the only reasons those stadiums were built in the first place.

If there are contracts in place for clubs to play at certain stadiums, then the Premier League cannot legally invoke a rule that makes them move out of that stadium. They cannot FORCE a club from another sport to move out of a stadium if there are contracts in place, they aren't above the law.

Saying that, they probably CAN force the Premier League clubs to use another ground, or to make a settlement with occupying clubs. It would have to be a huge settlement though (which to be fair, if they're a Premier League club, shouldn't be too hard). If City want us out the KC (not that they'll be a PL club for long!), then I'd expect an 18k stadium at least and use of the KC for derbies. They can't force clubs with contracts in place to do anything, so if they want something then they've gotta give us something that we want...

the dream scenario is both wigan and hull being relegated this season but sadly it looks like only one will make the drop

once they go down i dont expect either club to bounce back

its amazing theyve both held out so long but both have been very lucky not to get relegated in previous years

fingers crossed it all works out

if wigan and or hull city do get relegated, which they probably will. the chances are they will be hot favourites to get promoted again next season so the problem would still be there.

the huge figures involved in premiership football (each season worth aprox £40million reportedly)

this should not be dismissed to readily.

i dont know what the answer would be, but when the stakes are that high strange things can happen.

Wigan RL are safe. There is nothing the FA can do except kick wigan athletic out of the premier league if they bring in this new law.

If Hull City get relegated, they will go into administration. There is a very good chance that they'll get relegated again with the way their finances are going.
