The down side would be the risk of flooding the game with more foreign and/or first time managers whilst the better English managers are on "gardening leave" for longer periods with less opportunities to get back in. Something needs to be done however and I think it would be worth trying, I'd anticipate greater stability for the majority of clubs with long term positives outweighing the negatives.
