The 14 teams bit is irrelevant to this discussion. That is open for discussion.
The problem for the non Old Firm clubs is many are in huge debt and fear that a Rangersless league will result in reduced TV income and push them over the edge. Celtic's presence means they won't have a competitive league either and so there is no real gain in seeing Rangers die.
Keeping Rangers alive and competitive means the SPL keeps the same level of TV income and they can get a greater share.
The only real loser in all this is Celtic. And who gives a fu about them.
Agreed to most of that!!!
But I do give a feck though about Celtic first (me) Then Hearts (Wife and son) Scotland (Me and son) and finally Scottish football (its been tarnished) i loved Scottish football, the game needs a chance, we need to give it a chance but only if the Will comes from within scottish football.

Anyone who isn't a follower of Celtic or Rangers who pays money to go to a game next season I have to ask - why? What would be the point?
Is it not like the dealer showing you the rigged roulette wheel is going to stop at zero and you betting £400 on it? There's an argument I suppose that it's always been like this but now the table's dodgy mechanism is on open display will you keep spending money when you cannot win?
Spot on but we have to give the SPL one last chance to put the game right, their plan will have to be watertight as the eyes of the game will pour over every detail, one false statement and its as you say/indicate, not worth watching.
Here is the question though, what one thing about our game will make the majority of all fans give our game that one last chance?
My view is Equality of competition, a level playing feild.

There is no real benefit to the non Old Firm clubs in seeing Rangers die. The continued presence of Celtic will still see us lumbered with an anti competitive league.
So here's what will happen.
Rangers newco will start afresh with no debt and the SPL will allow Rangers newco straight into the SPL. The SPL will impose no sanctions on Rangers newco. They can't impose sanctions on Rangers newco as they wouldn't want to create an anti competitive league with no challenge to Celtic. They will want to maximise TV income.
In return, Rangers newco will agree to a change in the voting to 75% majority. This will allow the non Old Firm clubs to get a greater share of the TV money.
There will be 2 winners and 1 loser.
Winners:
1. Rangers shed £150m of debt.
2. Non Old Firm clubs get a greater share of the TV money.
Loser:
1. Celtic lose a large chunk of TV money and face competition from a debt free Rangers.
So you agree to a Compromise, if what you say happens and we get a change to the voting structure (11/3, under 90% but over 75%)and proper league reconstruction (14) then we the fans of other clubs should also compromise to give Scottish football one last chance, if what you say doesn't happen then Scottish Football is dead,if not already, this whole saga has turned our game in to a farce and without compromise, the game will be over, for me anyway

I side with the other 10 SPL clubs for equality of competition, it benefits the game and the perception of it, even if it means My team Celtic being less advantaged than it currently is, im a football fan first who believes in fair play.
