Restructure season - avoid overlap of 6N and prem. No Ang/Welsh reduces number of games?

For a few years relegate 2 and promote 1 (until we have a prem. of 10 teams, reducing games played by 4)?

Perhaps get Prem. on the BBC for a few years, even if that means taking a short term hit - increasing the interest improves sustainability

Team with PRL to advertise the live game direct.

Lower league sides have real competition with coaches able to select players freely - therefore success and failure is purely down to club decisions and sporting chance (injury/weather/bounce of ball) - this true competition needs to be retained at elite level.
