What are the estimated financial sacrifices for each Premiership club?

As far as I'm aware, the adjustment in prize money from adding two extra top flight clubs was being funded by reducing the amounts for positions 1-12. I don't know the exact figures, but given that the uplift would have to be about 3% in total you'd expect that to be high five figure or low six figure sums per club per season.

Lets see if all those Jambo posters on here with legal training were right.

If they don't take this to court is could be the 2nd most embarrassing thing to happen ever in Scottish football.

The Hearts fans have the stock response on Copy & paste on twitter at the moment. 

"Off to court we go" Its quite cringeworthy.

On the reconstruction, am I surprised it got laughed at by the clubs? No.

14 Team Premiership, 6-8 split idea was a shite idea. Making at least 6 of the current Premiership clubs potentially worse off financially to appease the few was never going to gain support.

SPFL CONFIRMS 12-10-10-10 LEAGUE STRUCTURE FOR NEXT SEASON

CHAMPIONSHIP CLUBS APPROVE 27-GAME PROGRAMME

The SPFL Board today (Monday) announced that a league-wide consultation exercise has shown there is insufficient support for a new divisional structure and that the current 12-10-10-10 format will remain in place for Season 2020/21.   
 
16 of the 42 clubs favoured changing to a 14-10-10-10 structure, but this was short of the numbers required* and, as a result, the SPFL Board has agreed to draw a line under reconstruction talks.   
 
Separately, the ten Championship clubs have voted to approve a 27-game programme, with teams playing each other three times, rather than four. 
 
Neil Doncaster, chief executive of the SPFL said: “In recent weeks, we’ve been consulting closely with our clubs regarding possible reconstruction and, based on the feedback we received, the board decided to ask all 42 clubs to give their views so that we could have absolute clarity, which we’ve achieved today.   “Whilst a number of clubs were in favour of a new divisional set-up, the support for it was insufficient and we will now move forward with a fixture programme for Season 2020/21 based on the current 12-10-10-10 structure. 
 
“Due to the restrictions forced upon us by the coronavirus outbreak, the Championship clubs also voted overwhelmingly to play each other three times next season, rather than four, which enables a later start to the Championship league season. 
 
“Now that we have a confirmed structure for next season, the SPFL’s fixturing team will begin work on the Premiership fixture list, which will start on the weekend of 1 August, and the Championship fixture list, which will start on the weekend of 17 October.” 
 
Discussions regarding arrangements for Leagues 1 and 2 remain ongoing.
