Reconstruction - the vote

So, the complete balls up 12-12-18 system is going to a vote at the end of the month.

SPL need minimum 11-1 to pass it.

SFL need minimum 23-7 to pass it.

Which teams will say yes, and which no?

Agreed Ginger that sounds ten times better than any of they tw@ts at Hampden can come up with.

The people running the game are only interested in the financial side of the business and because of that playing against each other only twice a season is an non starter.

Sky are only interested in games involving Rangers and Celtic. These are the games it can sell the advertising for at a decent price.

The clubs rely on the Sky money to fund the wage bill. The take at the gate doesn't cover the running costs of clubs.

Celtic, fair play to them this season on their CL run, probably don't need the sky money as much as others because of their CL run but the prudence being shown by their board through the transfer window suggests that most of the income generated from CL will go towards the running costs and debt servicing for the coming couple of years.

There's more I want to say but I fear I'm boring you all!!

Surely we shoould be looking at the english game and how its worked for them, now am not saying that we could be as big as that but it seems to work, for gods sake Austria ditched this idea as it wasnt working.

BTW its quite ironic that if they implement the changes then scottish football might not be around on 12/12/18
