Doyle wants Somerset return but......

With prospect of losing 1 or 2 clubs and the noises that the top NL clubs not too interested in moving up Id say the Championship would welcome Leicester...

I'm sure they would but the problem might be the PL not wanting to lose another one. I don't think it's possible to just drop down without permission and with the possibility of only 5 or 6 clubs left I can't see that being given. :( I would much prefer to be in the Championship as there is a bigger variety of teams, or failing that one big league.

Rumours down here in Devon are that Plymouth are considering the top league in 2019!

Might actually make sense as nearest NL is either Birmingham or IOW, Championship is currently Lakeside!

In the top league, Somerset Swindon and Poole are fairly close.

Leicester and Sheffield have got different promoters

Agreed. But is there still the possibility of a conflict of interest arrising when the owner is the same? Or does the rule only limit promoters not owners in the same league?

Makes more sense however attendance and profitability is always the issue in the past when they have run at a higher level.

Cant see what’s different this time then.:o

Went to Somerset on Wednesday night and spoke to Doyley post meeting, asked about a Swindon return in 2019, this was his answer.

Somerset have looked after him fantastically and the professionalism has been second to none. Still has some unresolved issues with Swindon management. Somerset want to do another loan deal for 2019 if in Premiership, however Swindon will only sanction a full transfer and not another loan deal. Also has interest from one other Premiership club, wouldn’t tell me who but hinted at Leicester.

I heard u were changing youre username to Jason Doyle racing next lmao

Why don't you lot stop talking to him. Having the last word isn't everything! ;)

Now someone mentioned Leicester going down? Surely the league can't continue with just 6 teams? 

if only 6 teams..why not just have play offs

That sounds perfect because you always get bigger crowds for playoff matches. Simplest way to double the average crowd. 6 teams and every match is a playoff & nail-bitingly exciting.  A lot fewer matches but higher crowds! Shorter season, say three months June July August gives plenty of time for rain-offs.

According to another forum numpty Doyle is nailed on going to Kings Lynn next season in a swap deal plus money for Robert Lambert, now he is going back to Somerset or going to Leicester. Thing is if there`s a major rule change for next season that could see the back of Doyle racing for anyone over here.

6 team league would be ridiculous.  I say you need 10 at least to make it look sensible.

You don’t need 10.

Poland and Sweden both have 8 team leagues  and are the most successful countries league racing wise.

Perfect, every meeting is a Play-Off meeting and then, to determine who is the winner of the Play-Offs, the team that draws the shortest straw. Think we've nailed it lads :t:

Sweden going up to 9 teams in 2019 - but only 6 teams in their 2nd division (Allskvenskan league).
