[QUOTE="Aristodemus, post: 940037, member: 56633"] I'm not sure why you guys want to single out England on the club issue or for not wanting relegation. There are foreign players (even if they switch allegiance through residency) in all three leagues, with France being the main one because they have the biggest tv deal and no cap. As for relegation, if there is one team that would fear it less than the others it is England based on our tournament record. I'm not going to speculate on what is being said behind closed doors but just saying England are the bad guys because they have more money than we do is crazy. Even if the RC unions got a slice of the 6N money it wouldn't really change anything in regards to players moving. All the 6N teams are currently susceptible to losing players to France (even England with the offer Manu received), but as I said before that is not a reason to create a nations league. The answer is in eligibility rules to stop project players and as Erasmus points out making international windows compulsory. [/QUOTE]
