    The problem is that Celtic, the SFA, Stewart Milne etc don’t want competition
    That's a decent starter for ten, Mason.

    FWIW .... They need to take a look at the techniques used over in America. Although there are NFL teams and NBA teams that are big fish, the competitions are typically won by a variety of teams over the years.

    Ideas for Scottish Football to achieve what the thread title asks:

    1. Salary Cap. Not a % of turnover - a hard limit in £'s
    2. Squad size restriction. A fixed number of players - to get rid of all this loan nonsense.
    3. Young Player Draft. Doesn't matter which Academy they were at. Bottom team gets first pick etc.

    Something like this is far too scary for the closed minds of not just Scottish Football, but European and World Football.

    Pipe dream I'm unlikely to witness in my lifetime but if they want to avoid European football eating itself to oblivion it's something they need to look at.

    Once the league splits have a playoff for the league like the mls or nfl.

    Celtic would never allow it though.

    Oh and then there is those voting rights rights that were never changed.

    Nothing will ever change in the SPFL when people like it so much as it is. Crowds are up, thats a massive vote of confidence for how the game is administered and run.

    Its a game run for 2 teams and two teams only, so much so, you will soon have 4 teams as the colts thing will likely happen. its rigged and corrupt.

    Usually it's the same teams that win the NFL.

    We should never look at the NFL.

    That’s not even near being true.

    Only one team has won the super bowl more than once in the last 10 years.

    Edit sorry 2 teams have won it twice in the last 10 years,still more competitive than our league though.
