Doyle wants Somerset return but......


Recommended Posts

Went to Somerset on Wednesday night and spoke to Doyley post meeting, asked about a Swindon return in 2019, this was his answer.

Somerset have looked after him fantastically and the professionalism has been second to none. Still has some unresolved issues with Swindon management. Somerset want to do another loan deal for 2019 if in Premiership, however Swindon will only sanction a full transfer and not another loan deal. Also has interest from one other Premiership club, wouldn’t tell me who but hinted at Leicester.

I heard Leicester are dropping down a league.

I doubt if they will be allowed to drop down so perhaps there is going to be one league afterall. Fingers crossed.

With prospect of losing 1 or 2 clubs and the noises that the top NL clubs not too interested in moving up Id say the Championship would welcome Leicester...

isn't there a rule in place that prevents one promoter running/owning more than one club in the same league?

I'm sure they would but the problem might be the PL not wanting to lose another one. I don't think it's possible to just drop down without permission and with the possibility of only 5 or 6 clubs left I can't see that being given. :( I would much prefer to be in the Championship as there is a bigger variety of teams, or failing that one big league.

Rumours down here in Devon are that Plymouth are considering the top league in 2019!

Might actually make sense as nearest NL is either Birmingham or IOW, Championship is currently Lakeside!

In the top league, Somerset Swindon and Poole are fairly close.

Agreed. But is there still the possibility of a conflict of interest arrising when the owner is the same? Or does the rule only limit promoters not owners in the same league?
