No split but would keep promotion / relegation play offs (Bottom 2 relegated / top 2 promoted. Play off between 3rd bottom and 3rd top). I know nobody would vote for that, but we need to change the format. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 11,594 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 There was a video posted on Reddit suggesting copying the Greek model, which sounded reasonable. I think it was a 14-team league with a split (6 and 8). This would expand the league but also ensure the 4 Old Firm games for the TV deal. I would also like more promotion and relegation spots. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the diddy teams wanted the 4 games because they could get 2 home games against us & them and sell out half their stadiums, but seeing as they don't want to do it any more lets just expand the league. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the same teams 4 to 6 times a season is boring. I think a lot of football fans will have the same opinion. I'd also say that the current set-up doesn't encourage player development. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra teams added to the league will be beaten easily in many cases. If not then it will be because they play very defensively. I don't know why anybody would think a larger league would encourage player development. I don't even care to find out though. Nobody should ever structure a league to improve player development. Nobody buys a ticket to watch a player develop. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
