    What we might get first though is a Premier League 2 populated by the reserves of the main clubs, followed by a complete separation of the leagues below it.

    So promotion to the Prem from the Championship might become impossible, so the Premiership can protect their brand image and USP
    I could live with a small group of clubs leaving for a super league but to stop promotion to and from the prem would be a death knell.

    But for which clubs?

    The majority of those teams outside the Premiership have little if no prospects of getting there.

    The elite clubs don’t really want the likes of Watford, Derby etc being in their cosy little club.

    I meant it would be a death knell for my enthusiasm for footy Grist. If the door to the top level, and the little chance we have of getting there anyway is closed off, I don'y think I'd see football in the same light and don't think I'd follow it any more.
