[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 615114, member: 22777"] No reason imo that the lowest English side couldn't go down into the championship and a new side come up to take their conference place. While I reckon it'd mean that the weakest English side in the competition would never be truly competitive, but if it help sell the idea to the English sides then so be it. You've got to realise that the Heineken Cup as it currently exists can't be sorted out. The Welsh, Irish, Scotland and Italians cannot compete with the financial clout of the French clubs. This means that the Celtic sides will progressively weaken as the years go by making the competition more and more lopsided. A major change has to come. [/QUOTE]
