I think he's been at Mr romenov's vodka stash

see link - SPL/SFL Split form todays Sun

Think hes just worried hearts will get thier arses handed to them by diddy taems from the bottom leagues

Works for the best interests of the top 8 clubs of the SPL for prime revenue. points system for league and reduction to 8 teams is seamless.

But makes a mockery of teams going all out to put points on the board in div 1 , do the 1st div points disappear when merging with SPL and what happens to the bottom SPL teams points, the split of SPL /SFL wouldn't tie in and would have to filter down all the leagues too.

If you wanted to make any attempt at splitting a SPL league fairly you could with 14 teams.

After 26 games are played, 1 home 1 away, the top 6 SPL continues and play 1 home 1 away = 36

After 26 games are played, 1 home 1 away, the bottom 8 forms SPL2 and plays 1 home 1 away =40

It doesn't have to be called SPL2 you can just run a dotted line through a table and call it the SPL as they do at present.

All the points home and away are accumulated fairly.

More TV revenue and a larger gate for SPL, less at gate but more games to help in the SPL2. and an SPL2 cup to play for, it may seem like a worthless cup to some but a cup is a cup.

1 relegation and 1 play off
