I like the idea of 14-10-10-10 with an earlier split. More games against teams that are at our level. Top 6 play 2 less games to free up for cup runs/europe. Bottom 8 get more games. However I do not like it just for saving hearts. If it is done it has to be permanent. -

Mental thing is that I think most the lower league teams will go for this. Especially the ones that aren't bankrolled by a rich owner. -

Opportunistic from Rangers. Basically bribing lower league teams. -

Hearts should stop greeting about going down. Finding temporary league structures etc... that no sane club would entertain. Use the remaining money to win the Championship (an absolutely small time league with clubs that have nowhere near the support Hearts does). Honestly they will take a slight financial hit but if they use money (which a club of hearts size should have) wisely it will take 1 year to return maximum. It is a league with either part time clubs or diddy full time outfits. -

I genuinely believe we had that chance when Rangers went bust and were demoted into the 3rd Division. If we had a fully functioning pyramid Rangers returning would have taken an extended period of time (not 3/4 years). This would have forced teams into relying on 1 Old firm teams money (and potentially after a while learn to be self sufficient on 0 old firm games). Scottish football not having a functioning pyramid allowed Rangers the clear route back to the Premiership that was required for the TV companies and scottish football establishment could see. This enabled the TV companies to be patient on Rangers return to the top flight and framing 'The Journey' fairytale that was broadcasted for everyone to see before normal service resuming once 'The Journey' was concluded. Scottish Football had its chance to take the spotlight off the old firm however due to decades of resisting a functioning football pyramid, that particular opportunity was lost. Thankfully the pyramid is starting to take very good shape and this gives me hope in what scottish football can become in the future.
