All sorts of complications / questions come up...for example, what will those Premier caliber players do in the Winter? Play div. 1? Or, conversly, keep a winter premier league? There will either be a watering down or sandbagging effect.
What leagues?
VMSL,
FVSL & ?
VISL?
On the surface, I like it, and think it is a step in the right direction. They may play in the winter over there, but this is here, and in North America, soccer is a summer sport.
I'd prefer they take it from the grass roots up, instead of elite down, but this is much more manageable.
