Quote: Walt Mooney Fan Club "It all sounds fine....then he spoils it with the ridiculous concept of the 'relegated' team in SL getting another chance to redeem themselves and making the 'Champions' in the Championship jump through yet another hoop to hopefully gain promotion!!

Promote the Champions - relegate the bottom club.....it works in every other sport with a league structure!!

Parachute payments should only be used to 'scale down' the administrative side of the club over twelve months. Any SL playing contract becomes null and void upon relegation. Any club wishing to retain a player on a full-time contract must do so within the constraints of the Championship salary cap.

The only other tweak I might be tempted to make, just to allow things to 'bed-in' following the transition from part-time to full-time status, would be to allow the promoted club a 12 months grace period (if they finish bottom in their first season then 2nd bottom is relegated).....I believe, over time this could take away the 'yo-yo' effect, and move us toward a two division SL as the wealth would be more evenly distributed (potential for 'big' clubs who have a poor season to get sucked into the relegation dog-fight....and if they go down, bigger crowds in the championship the following season). It will be incumbant upon the promoted club to get their house in order, make best use of their salary cap (promoting from within their youth set-up rather than overseas journeymen), and build their fanbase (salary cap could be set at a % of attendance and sponsorship income - all SKY revenue spent on facilities/Academy/Community/etc)'"

Even though we had a bit of banter on another thread,I must say,I totally agree here. Well said. icon_thumb.gif

Quote: maurice "Two FT tens is the only way at present. Too few clubs are in a decent state to move to a FT structure.

If you take his model then the winner must be promoted and the bottom relegated. No need for parachute as stated, and 6000 extra per round equates to £1.5m not £2.5.£400k from central funds to The Championship would allow FT clubs to operate but to have a chance of staying up the season should end in August not October for recruitment purposes.

The general feeling is that something needs to be done before its too late, I personally welcome ideas like these because the debate should be about how and when, not if.'"


Think he's saying over 26 rounds (14 teams playing each other twice) so 26 rounds x 6000 fans = 156,000 extra fans, at say £15, would equate to about £2.34Million. However, that's just an assumption, on my part!

EXCELLENT ARTICLE, BUT DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF PARACHUTE PAYMENTS.

Some great ideas in these posts - All I can say living 250 miles away is Keep the Pressure On - sooner or later somebody might listen. (When I was involved with Kent Invicta, we had clubs like Salford and Huddersfield in Div 2.) I guess many of us remember "Glory Days" at Swinton and Oldham, so lets not think that the present set up is forever.

Alan, tell me a club below SL who attracts £15 plus vat per head, I thought I was being generous at £10 plus vat
