[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 897929, member: 55446"] Five years out of the Premiership will end any team as a serious contender. The financial and quality gulf between the two leagues will widen so much in five years that they won't be likely to get back in. A team that yo-yos between the two leagues keeps some of its Premiership-quality players when it goes down, whereas any team that goes down for five years will be entirely shorn of any player of Premiership quality in those five years. There's no hope that they would ever get back in based on similar play-offs. If we must ring-fence, then we should make a decision on which teams can sustain themselves in the Premiership and then create a format to accommodate this number of teams. [/QUOTE]
