Too much in the way of common sense for this to get off the ground Francis. It's all about money and the more home games teams play against the Old Firm the more seasonal cash income they take in therefore the drive is to keep the SPL at 10 ensuring at least two games a season against them and anything else is a non starter as it cost them money in the long term. Same applies to any TV deal which is essential for the big boys if they want to attract a decent level of player to Scottish football. This obviously doesn't apply to the lower leagues such as the championship and restructuring is desperately needed to freshen the game in general to excite the supporters but as to what permutation that would take is still a matter of debate but the more the merrier as far as I am concerned.
