I get what Milne is saying, fine, disagree with the proposals but at least fucking say so to your opposite numbers when you meet to discuss it FFS fuck sake.
I don't like the proposals either, the 3 way at the end just sounds ridiculous and has been tried elsewhere, doesn't football have to use evidence based practice??
I'd leave it pretty much as it is with a play off for each division in addition to automatic relegation/promotion spots. Play offs elsewhere have been very successful. I suppose you have to accept what the overwhelming majority of chairmen are saying ie a bigger league along the lines wanted by fans isn't financially viable or sellable to TV/sponsors.
League set ups are all very well, but to me they are a total distraction from the whole truth, the quality is declining and the price of viewing it is too dear. Arranging the deck chairs on the deck of the Titanic won't change much, the game has to change.
