Personally he needed a season at reserve to build confidence but he was forced into the number 2 position before he was ready has happened to so many british youngsters.

You have been vocal with your feelings on this. Do you not think the onus is on the Premiership to make it an appealing proposition for a club to move up rather than blaming clubs for sticking in the Championship where they run a more sensible operating model for their business? The Premiership has been shedding clubs in recent years - why would anyone wish to join it at this time?

The championship clubs would probably rather take their chances with a revolver with one bullet in it and five empty chambers spin the barrel and hope.

7-7 Split (Won't happen obviously) Can't have Northampton running at all imo if the plan is for them to run at Oxford, They don't have a fan base and they're relying on Oxford fans turning up to watch a club that they don't support on a regular basis = DISASTER written all over it. PREMIERSHIP -> Belle Vue, Glasgow, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Leicester, Poole and Sheffield CHAMPIONSHIP -> Berwick, Edinburgh, Oxford, Plymouth, Redcar, Scunthorpe and Workington   Predictable AGM Solution Another short term solution with a 6-9 Split and play happy families again by letting the Ford's and Glasgow compete below their level whilst sending another lamb to the slaughter because they don't want Northampton and Oxford competing against each other in the same League when sharing the same Track / Stadium. PREMIERSHIP -> Belle Vue, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Leicester, Northampton and Sheffield CHAMPIONSHIP -> Berwick, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Oxford, Plymouth, Poole, Redcar, Scunthorpe and Workington.

My guess is that this is designed to allow Futures time to try and get some deals done  It's hard to look past that as it stands there's not enough for 5 teams to commit let alone a 6th
