My comment that you quoted was from 4 weeks ago and specifically states support for a super league only if entry criteria is based on current form. If the A22 Sports Management mob want historical performance to be included in the entry criteria then I'm out.
I’ve only had a skim read through their proposals. But I don’t see anything in it that I’d see as an improvement on what we’ve got now. And plenty that I don’t like.
You could, for example have the Champions of England only qualifying for the following years’s Blue ( 3rd tier ) competition. Whilst a side finishing nowhere in the domestic league could retain their place in the Star ( 1st tier ) competition for the following year.
That could lead to seriously weakening the domestic league. If you’re a team for example in the top level competition and realise by Christmas that you’re not going to win the domestic league, the second half of the season will just all be about the European League and maintaining your place in it.
Apart from a bit of prize money, it’ll make no difference if you finish 2nd or 17th in the domestic league.
