Cas appealing has they are not happy that IMG not scored them enough for their decades of failure to meet minimum standards or not scored for their artist impression of fictitious new grounds across multiple sites

What does this all mean? I get that IMG have come up with a criteria and have graded teams. Does this mean that if we were to go for a 14 team league the likes of Bradford would get in but London wouldn`t? And will this happen next year the year after or is it just indicative of what teams need to achieve? And if so what happens when they do achieve it?

What does this mean for London, both in terms of recruitment ahead of next season and results during? Win every game but still don't make SL for 2025? Can't recruit to make a fist of it on the basis they're only in SL for a year? Which would beg the question, what's the point?

The point is to give teams a grade because we have a grading system.
Then the game will spread like wild fire and be flush with cash.
