Barry Ferguson questions SPFL pyramid system and calls for restructure

Barry Ferguson questions the merits of สล็อต1บาท the Scottish pyramid system if his side Kelty Hearts are denied their shot at promotion to SPFL League Two.

The former Rangers midfielder has been in charge of the Lowland League leaders since 2018 and acknowledges that, as a return to football remains unclear, any resolution will not be without its critics.

"What's the point of having a pyramid system in Scotland, for Lowland League clubs and Highland League clubs to try and get into the SPFL, if this is all going to scrapped?" Ferguson said.

"You can't relegate Hearts, Partick Thistle and Stranraer and let Brechin go into a play-off game to see whether they can stay in the SPFL or whether they go down into the Lowland League.


"There are big decisions to be made. เกมส์ยิงปลาออนไลน์ We have invested a bit of money this year, we have worked really hard, as have all the clubs in the Lowland League.

"We have tried to do things right and if we are going to be denied an opportunity to get into the league, it will be very disappointing.

"I'd rather win the league fair and แทงบอลไทยลีก square and play the games but look, I'm a realist, I know the games are not going to be played anytime soon.

"Bonnyrigg are close behind us, they have had an excellent season as well, but, as it stands, we are sitting top of the league with the most points."

Any decision the Lowland League takes could closely follow decisions made by the SPFL, particularly if promotion and relegation are scrapped completely.

Any outcome in the Premiership though may be tied to UEFA and whether they allow leagues, particularly top divisions, to decide how to end their seasons as such decisions will impact qualification for European tournaments.

Ferguson believes the unprecedented situation facing football has inadvertently presented the Scottish game with an opportunity to restructure the league system.

It is something that the 42-year-old says he has personally been an advocate of for some time and could involve suspending relegation for this season and allowing sides in promotion positions to move up the leagues.

"There is a way to keep the vast majority of clubs happy and that is to try and reconstruct the leagues in Scotland," Ferguson said.

"I've been saying it for the past 12 to 18 sagame66 months. It's about time we try and do something with our leagues and try and make it more interesting. This is the perfect time now."
