Bath owner Bruce Craig wants to scrap relegation and relaunch the Premiership as a collection of centrally licenced franchises, similar to cricket's Indian Premier League .

Wasps, Worcester and London Irish's bankruptcies knocked confidence and dented finances among elite clubs.

Craig believes the threat of relegation deters fresh investment and tempts current owners into unsustainable spending.
