The vote was to change it from 11-1 to 9-3 to bring in big changes. Although this would have been better, I am not convinced 9-3 would work. Scottish clubs are notorious for short term thinking and most believe they can't survive without the OF.
Can you imagine if it went through? lets say 10 clubs voted for a share of gate receipts, The OF would be up in arms, threatening to leave, statements everywhere, tribunals, legal action etc. At least it wouldn't be as dull as the competition itself,.
