Rather than the Premier League division 2, Wouldnt it be great to be the pioneers of the New Football League Division 1. Break away from the greed and filth of modern football.Give every club a squad wage cap equivalent to 10k per player with squads capped at 25players, standard 2 year rolling contracts extended at the end of each season with wages diminishing for the second season if player/club dont agree to extend it. No transfer fees, agent fees paid by the player if he chooses to have one. match ticket prices reduced accordingly and capped. TV rights could be bought by the BBC as they could afford it again - Rules set for 10 years apart from wage cap rising in line with inflation.It may only attract players of current FL1/2 level but modern football is going to eat itself eventually. We would still get 38k through the door every week
I agree a lot of this, but must say that next season'e championship is looking more like the old Division One I knew and loved growing up in the 70s/80s - anyone could feasibly win it, which is a good thing. I have no interest in the Prem.

I have no interest in the Prem.I haven't had much interest in it since we've been out of it either.
think it's a time for a european league to be set up been advocating this for a few years now . the top 2 or 4 from spain , germany , prem league , italy etc play in a league of there own .this would leave the rest to compete on a more even keel . can't see it happening any day soon but i can't see any other alternatives . can you ?
