Scottish football reset button

[hmac]

Will Scottish football again fail to hit the reset button and re-organise?
There’s probably never been a better time to really get something positive from a bad situation.
If the aim is to keep feeding greed then a few tiny tweaks here and there will do it, but if we want a successful system of youth development, a better national team and maximum exposure I’d suggest 2 leagues of 16, a late March to November season, regional leagues outside the top two divisions and wholesale changes to the entertainment side of the game. Anything else and we’ll just keep dying.

I suspect we’ll go with the keep dying option ...

way too much sense there H,chairmen will look to feather their own nests unfortunately

Too much self interest, too many ex old firm players on tv spouting one view, too many old firm cheerleaders in the press.

I suspect some of the chairman of our smaller club's are more interested in how Celtic or Rangers are doing than their own club's.

Far too many part time and semi pro teams have an input into the game at senior level in Scotland.

Should be left to those full time teams to decide the future.

Let the others play in an enlarged junior set up.

I’ve been saying this to mates for years, most of the part time teams have no ambition to go any higher than championship, and remain part time, I know it would be hard for the likes of Arbroath to go full time, but they do have to much of a say for their contribution

Every full time team should have the option of putting a 2nd team in the lower leagues.

Hasn’t done Spanish teams any harm.

Does any other leagues in Europe allow part time and semi pro teams to dictate national policy?

It wasn't that long ago and maybe still the case, but think it was the Head of the Scottish Schools Football Association had a say in the running of the professional game in Scotland.

Surprisingly there are only two teams in the Championship League 2019-20 who are part time namely Arbroath and Alloa.
