York City's somewhat eccentric, and fairly dangerous, chairman John Batchelor, who is in the running to be chairman of the Football League, is talking about restructuring the format of the Nationwide League, including inviting Rangers and Celtic to join, according to a report on the Nationwide League web site. Batchelor wants the new league to start next season. One sensible idea he's come up with is ensuring that clubs are trading profitably before being allowed to enhance players' wages, which would otherwise be paid from a central pot. Let's hope that all this talk about inviting clubs to join leagues without starting at the bottom of the pyramid is cast aside by more sensible chairmen.
