    League Reconstruction

    14 team temporary arrangement may now be back on the agenda. Make your minds up for gawd’s sake!

    dont really like the idea of temporary, however, its highly unusual circumstances and i do believe those relegated are getting a rough deal. Still laughing at hearts leading this and they have most to lose.

    I like Michael Stewart he is a good pundit but in this instance he is only trying to save Hearts.Not one of the top 12 were interested in a 14 team league until Hearts were Marooned at the bottom.

    I just cant see teams like ST Johnstone,Ross County etc etc voting for a temporary arrangement when there is the potential for 4 of them to be relegated in 2 years time.

    These clubs need the OF fans in their stadiums,there would be less chance of them finishing top 6 and more chance of being relegated if they voted to change the structure.

    I still think Hearts may well stay up but that is based on clubs folding rather than voting to save them.To go 14-14-14 requires 9 of the top league to vote yes but 6 said NO last week and others said nothing.

    If i remember correctly only around 3 clubs were actually in favour of change so there would have to be a massive shift of opinion for league reconstruction to happen.As i have said from day one if it was the Accies at the bottom the other clubs would give them a clap on Thursday to wish them farewell,FACT.

    The main reason why Hearts are getting relegated ....

    23 point from 30 matches !!!

    If this was Hamilton or Ross Co nobody would be bothering

    Top 14 is not a good format and even worse if temporary

    Top 12 call the leagues as they are with promotion / relegation. It’s simple and lets hope leagues can start again next season

    I'm not for it, agree why GB and LSA

    If it wasn't a bigger club it wouldn't be back on the agenda

    Maybe the SPFL should start a new nationwide appeal called How can we save Hearts but make it look fair
