I really do not like this idea. It will only widen the gap between the haves and the have nots. http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/sports/sports-soccer-league.html
It was a suggestion by the head of the players' union. Neither the football league or the premiership are keen on the idea. In a nutshell he suggested that the premiership pay the football league £100 million and in return give up one pro/rel place (i.e. making it 2 up, 2 down) in order to help football league clubs pay off their debts. suggesting that some of the players in the football league, some of whom are on up to £40,000 a week, take pay cuts was obviously not an option. But then he also once argued that a football club (Leicester) should not be allowed to sack a player just because he punched a team-mate in a hotel room so hard he gave him a double fracture of the cheekbone.
Desperate times, desperate measures I guess but you would have thought they could come up with something better than this.
