I’ve always thought since the Premiership was launched there was an undercurrent of bigger clubs with, made not an agenda but a definite lack of interest in what happened to the lower structure of the professional game. I’m sure if the number of league clubs were reduced from 72 to under 50 they would welcome that due to less of a financial commitment on their part and even more interest centred on them and their big league. Just my opinion but I think the bigger clubs talk a good game about the ” bigger football family ” but in truth would like to see it shrink or disappear.
