Makes this proposal even harder. As at the moment a minimum of 2 SL clubs will be going down (if you include Toronto & Toulouse that's 4). So 4 or 6 current championship clubs would be told to go amateur (or league 1).
Now if you add in Manchester, Newcastle, Coventry (backed by Wasps) & Dublin who were all reported to be intrested in a SL Franchise. That 4 more clubs being told to go amateur (or league 1)
Then add in New York, Hamilton, Boston and others.
Your basically relegating every team that's in the Championship down. Also demoting at least 4 to 7 more current SL clubs.
And people are arguing that that's alright?

I know that this is only a proposal. And that for it to be voted as the new structure SL chairmen would have to be greedy, short sighted idiots (so it's got a chance then).
So this is a purely hypothetical question/point.
If it was voted in. Would it lead to RL splitting, and having 2 entirely different competitions?
like the Australians had for a couple of years (it think it was a couple of years).
If it does happen. Someone really needs to get hold of the guy who negotiated the 6 nations tv contract.
The only game that doesn't involve any home nations, on at 7.30 pm on a Friday night on a main TV channel. That's impressive negotiations.
