I'm assuming that since you haven't given any (despite spending longer refusing to than it would have taken to do so) you realise that there is no benefit to the game in Scotland as a whole from the magical coefficient improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where they are on the tree doesn't really matter. The point is their relative budget compared to Celtic. The fact that they've got a decent budget compared to some others only strengthens the point, really. Hibs and Aberdeen are relatively big-spending yet have both been pummeled in Glasgow this season. Where a team sits in the context of the other non-OF teams is pretty irrelevant here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no responsibility to shareholders or employees or anything. You just have an opinion. Yet one that you completely refuse to explain or back up with anything. I can only assume it's based on nothing at all. Up to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 18 team league. play everyone twice This way you only have to play the OF twice each. teams would be closer to them in the league if consistent enough. Only real diddies would be getting relegated, allowing all decent size clubs to concentrate on producing players. Spread the TV money evenly.Limit Squad sizes with at least 4 homegrown youngsters under 21. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 More teams in the league is the first thing i'd try, I don't know how viable a 20 team top division would be but I'd love to see it happen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broomhill Ultra Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 All 42 teams in one big ladder, last years champions start at the bottom, newly promoted team from highland/lowland league at top. Even teams challenge odd above one week, odds challenge evens the next. Every other week bottom and top won’t have a game so will play each other with chance to swap positions. Sorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would some Old firm fans who cant afford a trip to Norway or Serbia every second week start supporting one of our diddy clubs in the Scottish League? Would some of us diddy fans start supporting the Old Firm in the Euro League? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern, Juve and PSG will likely get 10 in a row whilst in England the points gap between 2nd and 3rd will eclipse that of the spl yet again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would probably be domination by 1 or 2 other teams taking their place. If they hadn't been there since the start of the Premiership in Scotland, Aberdeen would have won it 4 of the 6 times, and finished 2nd once. How is that much different than what has been happening with Celtic and Rangers for the last 30 odd years? Personally I enjoy it more when it's closer between Celtic and the other teams in the league. For a good few years Hibs used to come to Celtic Park and play 4-3-3 and put the shitters up us every time, was great games to watch. But at the end of the day, I still want my team to be top. Blatant self interest wins in the end every time unfortunately. Football isn't a sport anymore for the clubs involved, it's a business. And because of that, they look after their own self interests before everything else. Which means the vast majority of the time the clubs with the most resources and influence, will stay at the top, with a few exceptional circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France, Italy, Germany I'd give you but in England you wouldn't expect it to be two teams battling it out for a generation. Where else has only two teams won it for what 35 years is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a far far greater variety of champions in these places over the last 30+ years than we've had. Your reference to the SPL is a good indicator of how seriously we should treat your observations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
