5 Ideas I Support For Scottish Football

 

5 Ideas I Support For Scottish Football.----

OK so here are five of my ideas in total;

1) Put B or colt teams of the big sides in the lower divisions. So that young players can get early experience of competitive football. This is about ensuring that all young Scottish players get early experience of competitive soccer. Those players can be developed. The more top players Scotland has, the better the international team will be. The priority for me is the international side.

They play B sides in the lower divisions of Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, and Croatia. And Scotland used to play B sides in the old C Division against first team sides,   

We need Scotland to produce more players. But we also need Scottish club teams to do well in Europe

So by allowing the first teams for the big sides to continue to sign experienced Scottish and foreign players, but still have an opportunity for young Scottish players in their colt or B sides. This ensures Scottish clubs will perform to maximum potential in international club trophies yet still develop top young players.

2) Have a 16 team Scottish Premier.

This way more teams can be in the top league. The number of games can be cut in the league to 30 a season,

3) With extra free weeks freed up. That opens up the schedule for more trophies. I would support all Scottish Premier sides playing in a cross-border cup, like the Atlantic League Cup,

The trophy would be a group stage trophy followed by a knockout stage.

This would be a trophy on top of domestic and European football. So on top of the domestic trophies and on top of the UEFA Champions League, the Europa League and the new Europa Conference League.

My idea would be to have an Atlantic League Cup consisting of teams from small to medium power European nations such as Poland, Sweden, Norway, Albania, Switzerland, Armenia, Georgia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Lithuania, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Hungary, Finland, Lithuania, Greece, Austria, Slovakia, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, and Bulgaria.

There could even be larger countries like France, the Ukraine, and Russia wanting to take part.

It could even be possible for teams from North America, Central America, Asia, and Africa to take part. After all South African rugby clubs have taken part in the rugby Pro14 in the previous 10 years, So if rugby teams from South Africa can play club sides from Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, then why can’t African soccer sides play European soccer sides in a competitive football trophy?

I would be happy for a trophy to start even if it was just 3 or 4 countries entering teams at the start,

Imagine great games like Glasgow Celtic v Ajax, Glasgow Rangers v Porto, Aberdeen v AEK Athens, Hibernian v Basel, Dundee United v Copenhagen, Heart of Midlothian v AIK Stockholm, Ross County v Rapid Vienna, Legia Warsaw v Motherwell, Sporting Lisbon v Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Dundee v Sparta Prague, Falkirk v IFK Göteborg, and St Johnstone v Brondby.

4) Scotland to play more B international matches against the home nations.

5) Have a new national non-league cup between Scottish non-league and Scottish junior sides, As there is junior football, the Lowland League and the Highland League. Plus lots of other leagues.
