Hope now we can get some clarity about next season and beyond in terms of format. Presently between the Prem, the Champ and the 2 clubs being rebuilt we have 25 teams, but it sounds like the long term plan is 2 professional divisions of 10 clubs each. So 5 have to go. I'm curious to see how they solve for that. Simplest way I suppose would be 11 team Prem, 14 team Champ, 1 relegated from the Prem, 5 relegated from the Champ with no one promoted. Issue with that is, Ealing is probably suing to come up, and also I feel like if they are going to ring-fence below the Champ, I'd imagine the team who go down, they'd want to base that on things like financial prospects and the size of their ground rather than just who has a bad run of form next season.
