The Championship clubs have one vision, which includes their pledge to reduce the number of DR and loan players in a squad. But
the ten premiership owners have a different view, they want to control
the young players and those players need a finishing school. And the RFU is in hock to the owners, as if they pull out there would not be professional rugby. And
despite the increasing proportion of the RFU's money going to the
professional teams - it all goes into wages. Clubs cannot reduce wages
because the French have more money. So, professional clubs need an owner
willing and able to put several million a year into the team. In order to sell the second tier to the TV companies, they want names the TV executives have heard of. But, because they have never promoted the second tier - man of the current Championship clubs do not have great name recognition.

Unfortunately, analysing the problem is a lot easier than synthesizing a solution.
