# Reid questions SPL change proposal
## Billy Reid is against the idea of a 10-team top flight in Scotland - but
admits he will have no say in its possible implementation.
By PA 11:12AM GMT 16 Dec 2010
[Comments][1]
The 12 Clydesdale Bank Premier League clubs will be presented with a package
of proposed radical reforms next next Monday which include the reduction of
the SPL, a 10-team SPL 2, and the re-introduction of play-offs.
Hamilton boss Reid is glad that changes are being discussed but while he is
happy to give his opinion he is well aware that it counts for nothing.
"I'm not too sure about the league sizes," he said. "I don't know if two
10-team leagues are what's needed at the moment. I understand why they are
doing it but I just think that the way forward for Scottish football is to
play young Scottish players.
"If the top league is a big bigger then there is a lot less pressure on teams
and that would encourage all managers to play young players. It's about what
is right for Scottish football. I've had a brief chat with the chairman and at
the end of the day, clubs' chairmen will determine how this goes. It won't
come down to what the manager wants.
"It comes down to finances at every club and the problem that everyone faces
is that all clubs have a different agenda. But everybody realises that change
is needed and the most important thing is that the game gets back on the front
foot."
