Who is behind the latest reconstruction proposals and Why does this topic come up so often and apparently fail so frequently?
Sceptical folk may think it's a guarantee of Sevco getting into the top flight in a bid for desperately needed revenue to avoid dying the way the other mob did.
I remember the seventies when they formed the SPL in the wake of our nine in a row and part of me wonders if the fear of ten in a row is fuelling this latest rumbling?
Whatever happens; we are a tiny wee country with far too many teams to accommodate and cater for and there's insufficient supporters or cash whichever way you divide/arrange the leagues.

Iv always thought that more smaller clubs should amalgimate with neighbouring clubs and create a new way forward ( ICT being the perfect example) . But most just don't want to break their club up understandibly. Traditions are holding the whole thing back. 2 x 16 team leagues is enough. Then a triangular league system from there regionalised.

No doubt the talk of reconstruction is because of the fear that Rangers2012 cannot get into SPL under current rules . Mr Warburton has explained that it is disrespectful for him to not be managing in the SPL .
If Rangers are not in the SPL soon he will have to take up the manager's role at Chelsea or a Manchester club.

I don't think its the size of the club, as such that matters, its the product on the park, local people will support a local club, as long as they are entertained, or there are local boys playing, or there is some local connection, but will they go and watch a team whose players are getting x times their yearly salary for prancing about and pretending to play.

Not sure about amalgamating clubs would work or the way forward but perhaps ground share would help some clubs you only need to look at how close the two Dundee clubs are to each other for it to make séance to me one ground both sharing in the bills for the running of the club no brainer with supporter's of both keeping there name and perhaps better stadium.

The future of Scottish Football for every ambitious club is to try and develop Scottish youth and to buy and sell from and to Scottish clubs .
We will have to have foreign players but most if not all clubs have far too many second and third rate people pretending to be footballers .
