    If you could change ONE THING about Scottish Football, what would it be?

    in Improving Scottish Football

    Posted

    There has been a long-running campaign for a National League (that SPFL clubs and SFA cant gerrymander) alongside the `pyramid` campaign, which moves on to the Scottish Parliament shortly. The only way to go forward is to get rid of the very backward SPFL, who prevent major competitive improvements (a much wider and stronger pyramid system) and opportunities for tens of thousands of young people. The last time the game was reasonably competitive here, we had three clubs in uefa semis, two in finals and one winning the major cup, with Scottish players. We cannot go anywhere near that now unless we produce talent again ... only possible through stronger competition. SPFL have destroyed our playing standards and can only achieve third-rate now by recruiting hundreds of foreigners.

    We cannot have a full-blooded campaign because too many clubs stay silent and inactive, but we can improve Parliaments awareness of the damage they are doing to our youth by allowing SPFL to run (down) the show.

    No to B teams

    The minimum change I would need to see is Leagues 1 and 2 amalgamated (18 teams) with two going up to Championship of 12 teams. Then West of Scotland (almost half the population and more teams than any other region) should get equal rights with Lowland-East and Highland .. in a proper competitive pyramid at level 4. Scotland currently has the worst access to competition in Europe .. no wonder we are going nowhere. Top 12 teams could put `reserve` sides in that level... Championship in the next one down (5 regions).
