Quote: hooligan27 "Why scrap promotion / relegation. Just killing off the championship clubs leaving nothing to play for and same at the bottom end of the table in SL
Basically the championship will be years of friendly's and that it did not work last time and wont work most fans will not bother'"
Its all about raising standards, there are a few championship clubs that could get to Category A standards (good stadia, good crowds, good academy product, good results) and would be promoted by license whilst a Category B club (bad, stadia, bad crowds, bad academy product, poor results) would be relegated.
Surely the original framing of the future was to have around 12 Category A clubs, can you imagine if those had a really great acadamy product, we could then reduce the overseas quota and get more player participtation down stream to the grass roots.
