There are 44 PL and Championships Clubs. If these were allowed to enter a B team and they "merge the B teams with League Two and the Conference to form two regional leagues", I fear that we may quickly fall into a "Conference League North" in which promotion is very difficult to achieve (there would be two promotion places at most).

The PL clubs will provide the revenues to support strong B teams even though they will have no fans and there will be no more loans from PL or Championship clubs to the lower leagues.

Unless there are to be seven leagues in the new PL / Football League, I fear that we would lose our League status due to the greed of those at the top of the game.
