Spl To Discuss Restructuring
The Scottish Premier League has agreed to discuss changes to the body’s football layout, including the possibility of creating summer football, league reconstruction and streamlining the three administrations.
Scottish FA president George Peat is reportedly on a search for football experts to form a coalition committee that will discuss the possible shake-up of the sport in Scotland.
The SFA boss maintained that the creation of the coalition was not a response to the possibility of forming an SPL2, a subject which SPL executive chairman Lex Gold has claimed was awaiting a decision by the SFA.
Peat has said the game cannot continue under three administrative bodies: the Scottish FA, SPL and Scottish Football League, and wants to explore other options.
Possible changes on the agenda for the yet-to-be formed coalition include playing football through the summer months; league reconstruction and the pyramid system (to be investigated in May by SFA chief executive Gordon Smith); improving referee performance and technology; and a review of the SFA’s Youth Action Plan.
While talks around the game’s reconstruction will allegedly begin in two months, Peat has said that it is doubtful anything will be changed for next season.
