Owner of St. Johnstone Adam Webb says the reduction of the number of clubs in Scottish Prime Minister from 12 to 10 would be a “huge mistake”.
Tuesday has been discovered SPFL Working Group (CWG) assemble plans in a smaller top league and abolish the top-six of the cleft.
WebB – whose club is currently the bottom of the Premiership – believes it should be implemented by a larger model of 14 teams, which grows to 16 pages in the future.
Sky Sports News He understands that CWG considers all options because they want to manage the problems of congestion of the fixture that clubs play in European competitions.
Speaking Sky SportsWebb said, “It would be a huge mistake (cutting top flight on 10 teams). I think at least for good or bad when it comes to football, football in the UK and world football, the English Premier League.
“They have 20 clubs, and although we are not the same size as England, obviously, and we will not have 20 clubs in our premiere – what you want to do is get closer to it.
“It is a more famous system that is more aimed at success on the world stage and on stage in the UK. We should absolutely go the other direction.
“Since watching the quality of the championship this season, I can tell you that we have two, three, four clubs for sure that it would be fine in the premiere and we should lead there. We should grow the prime minister.
“We should go to the league of 14 teams very quickly, then five years later – as long as the quality of the championship is enough – projection to go to the League of 16 teams, and if you continue to grow in a gradual, very intentional way, we can be sure that the quality is there.
“We absolutely need to have quality with all the team in the premiere, but this is a direction we should go because it is better for Scotland, it is better for Scottish football.”
Why is the renovation of the league on the agenda?
The discussed changes should have been congestion and additional matching matches that clubs compete in the Champions League, the Europa League and the League League.
Tuesday spfl has already posted that All Scottish Prime Ministers playing in the European layout of next season will be able to ask for delaying one particular league match.
The adoption of a smaller 10-tall top flight would see that the number of fixings from 38 to 36, plus created the 10th second level and a larger third division.
Although an option of 14 teams may give the chances that Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee Derbies, who remain at their current frequency, would cause problems for those in the lower half that play more matching than those in the first six after the division.
Discussions have yet to be held in time -times and although changes could be introduced for next season, the 2026/27 campaign is considered to be more realistic.
Although he has not yet consulted the clubs for any changes, any proposal will need support 11 of the 12 prime ministerial clubs, 75 percent of prime ministerial and championship teams, plus 75 percent of all 42 SPFL sides.
