I agree that if UEFA continue to pander to the big leagues then other leagues should look to combine. I think Belgium and Netherlands could combine just on their own and create a fairly strong league. I think more thought and imagination needs to go into the rest. Could Portugal try and join La Liga? Benfica are a huge worldwide club and could possibly challenge Barca and Real consistantly. Porto, Sporting, Braga and Boavista instead of the likes Huesco, Girona, Leganes and Eibar could make that league bigger then the EPL. A Scandinavian league might work for Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. I don't know what Scotland could do though, Old Firm fans don't want change and as they are the biggest customer to the SPL why change???? I think a Celtic (not sellic) league like what happened in Rugby would be good but Cardiff and Swansea would be unlikely to want that with the money they get being yo-yo EPL sides but if you got them and a North Wales side plus 4 Ireland teams from the Provinces like the rugby has they would have big potential along with say the top 5 in the SPL could create an even 12 team league.

Summer football Less teams - around 12 top clubs divided evenly into populated areas, ie 1 from Fife, 1 Ayrshire , 2 Lanarkshire, 2 from Edinburgh, 3/4 from Greater Glasgow etc..... Try and distribute it that each team can reasonably expect around 20k at a game. Imagine every stadium in Scotland to be like Easter Road and Tynecastle every week instead of 60K at Celtic park and 2k at Livingston. Safe standing No prize money and all TV money distributed evenly. Giving the most successful teams more money is totally counter productive to competition. Improve matchday experience, better food, stadiums, facilities 1 transfer window to be complete before the season starts Loan system scrapped or at least limiting it (3 under 21's and 1 over 21yrs old) SFA/SPL to be made up of independent personnel who's sole goal is to grow the game/league. If they are not doing this they should be moved on. I'd love a draft system but I think it would be too difficult to apply in football.
