Ray Patterson Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Think it was the McLeish Report that advocated for a 10 team top flight (most of his recommendations have been followed tbf) Personally, I think 12 or 14 is the optimal number. Would like to see a 14 team Championship though, with the 10-10 below that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 1 hour ago, RandomGuy. said: Honestly, shes an absolute nightmare but most folk dont seem to realise. I think you're right. She's had a very positive press. When she first arrived, she seemed like such a change from what had been happening at Hearts. Her PR was good - fan involvement, Save the Children sponsorship etc. It really took her comments about too many clubs for me to realise what sort of presence she was in the game. A wider appreciation of her selfishness and ignorance would be useful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, such a move would be entirely unprecedented, but it might be worth looking at. My own wacky idea was 14 team premiership so 26 games but play the Championship teams once each (10 games, 5 home/away). 36 games. NFL stylee inter divisional match ups that also gives the lower league teams a look at what they are up against and more money? That would mean a 32 game Championship season so a wee bit short Edited April 16, 2020 by rainbowrising 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 So if they go for a temporary reconstruction - what does that mean for the distribution of prize money next season? Does that mean there will be 3 or 4 sets of parachute payments to deal with after next season? Why not just come up with a different financial settlement now and save us the hassle of the temporary reconstruction? In the temporary 14-10-10-10 scenario, does that mean 3 or 4 relegation places in leagues of 10 teams? How they going to get that voted through? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top flight clubs have no interesting in (permanently) expanding the league. we will be back to the current setup within a couple of years if not sooner. I would certainly hope my club would vote against a "temporary" reconstruction as I remember who were the ultimate losers the last time a temporary increase in the top flight was introduced to save an Embra team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetoonlad Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I hope spfl follow through the job and put Hearts down. Can't put thistle and Stranraer down and not them. Simple if they do they will lose a court case imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 If it's a one season thing we could be looking at 3 or 4 out of 10 teams in the Championship being relegated next season to get back to normal then? That would be brutal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 The only sort of reconstruction which is remotely feasible (especially after having explicitly confirmed the relegation of two sides) is the straight stitch-up where the Premiership grows by 2 and the Championship shrinks by 2. No doubt Dundee have been promised that in this scenario they would be the other club to be promoted, no questions asked. There is absolutely no possibility that this would pass a vote, so it isn't happening. Hearts will be coming down in due course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he would. Given that literally every other club in the system has voted in their own best interest (ICT quite blatantly more so than most) I’m baffled as to why you’re attempting to paint this as a shocking thing to do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueSue Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 14 - 10 - 10 - 10 will most likely be the result. Top two from Championship, L1 & L2 going up. Top of Highland & Lowland Leagues promoted to L2 No relegation. Personally would like 14 - 14 - 16 which would make for a less repetitive match schedule and still promote the Highland / Lowland clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
