Stewart Milne, Aberdeen FC chairman, is absolutely correct to strongly advise the media to strongly investigate into why St Mirren voted in the way they did. And the media should also strongly probe Ross County into why they decided to stop those badly needed reforms from going through.
Everyone knows that the national game across Scotland needs to be reformed now. The game has become monotonous for far too long. It is in the Scottish national interest to ensure that our national game is in a healthy state and not in a position where fans snub their local clubs in favour of bigger teams.
The only objection I had was the number of teams in the top league. Frankly, there should have been far more. I'm talking about 20 teams - much like the English Premier League. It would be better to see each team play each other only twice, instead of four times. But compromise matters and if I had a vote then I wouldn't reject the overall proposals because of that one area.
If the Scottish game does not get reformed in the next twelve months then it is with deep sadness, but it would become inevitable that Scottish football will be permanently damaged and will hurt the reputation of the Scottish nation.
Thank goodness for such an action packed weekend in the Scottish Cup. At least there is some hope.
Great article, it should really be a different voting system, at 11-1 there is unfortunately going to be one party who votes against, this has to change so it is the majority vote.
ReplyDeleteScottish football is going to get worse and worse until a change is made, and by the looks of it, this wont be happening for quite some time.
