Time to cut losses and go semi pro again

The people running London. Nobody is making excuses at all for how London are being run. A lot of their failings are entirely down to the people running them. But there are a very specific set of circumstances only London face. If we don’t set London up to overcome these particular hurdles, and simply expect them to be run in the same way as a heartland club we will set them up to fail.

I can't believe how many of you are calling for P&R again. You must have short memories!! Its a complete disaster.

There is not ONE team in the championship as it stands that can sustain a SL spot, and all that will happen is the days of getting 12-15 overseas players and try and claw themselves off the bottom spot for a year or two but when they end up going down it nearly or does bankrupt the club.

and the SL club that goes down gets all it's players poached and when they get promoted again it has set the club back 5-10 years

all this for the sake of the supposed entertainment of a few relegation scrap games at the end of the season.

I would go for two leagues of 12 which would then split into 3 leagues of 8 mid season. Then at the end of the season, each league would have a top 4 playoff with all 3 Grand Finals played at Old Trafford, one after the other.

I would take the 14 teams currently in SL, divide them into the 9 teams in Championship One and then multiply that by the 14 teams in The Championship. That'll give us 8.99999 teams recurring. Then i'd go and watch football.

Firstly I would scrap the salary cap and replace it with a requirement to at least break even over a set period, say 3 years.

The federation trained rule HAS to stay and an U21/23 with a few overage players allowed to be reinstated.

I would have a 12 team SL and NO promotion and relegation.

This is a must IMO. I would introduce a set international calendar on a 4 year cycle. Year 1 and 3 a European and an Australasian competition similar to RU 6 nations. Year 2 a World Cup and year 4 a GB and Ireland tour.

With proper marketing and sponsorship deals in place once a fully professional 12 team second tear is viable it would then be introduced with promotion and relegation hopefully with a Welsh, Scottish and Irish team in it.
