A league of 16 is a no go due to the lack of games it provides. Whilst fewer games might actually be good for fans, clubs will point to being unable to survive with fewer matchday revenues and any tv deal will be scaled down due to fewer games that are able to be shown in a season. Do we really want more Old Firm games? Going down to 2 a season would make these games mean more, and make any cup tie between the 2 clubs more unique. English clubs already feel they play too many games a season - just look at the way most treat their League Cup and teams like Tottenham, in the past, have treated the Europa League. Financially it makes more sense to English clubs to concentrate on the Premier League and finishing as high up the table as they can. Cup glory only means something to the fans, and as all the reconstruction talk has shown we are only seen as a commodity to be bled dry.
