I think the league needs a bit of a shake up and needs to be expanded. For me there needs to be more league clubs and smaller leagues.
My idea would be to expand the football league to 100 clubs in five professional leagues with the conference below becoming regional. Each league (PL, CH, L1, L2 & L3) to have four promoted (or champions league obviously) and four relegation places. Three teams go up automatically and one via the play offs with maybe a playoff for relegation places as well.
With four teams being promoted and relegated the leagues would be much more interesting with less teams settling or aiming for mid table mediocrity as it would be easy to get sucked into a relegation battle, relegation would be less damaging because it would be easier to go back up.
The changes wouldn’t be too drastic and IMO it would make the leagues much more competitive.
