I thought tradition was wait until the next season was already under way and then throw something out in a tasteless, rushed manner? What's a please?

Favourite moments of 2014/15?

The cosmic joke of Celtic's Champions League qualification saga still makes me laugh, will be hard to beat. Ex-oldco manager ignoring the rules and landing his team in the poo poo, pointlessly - and the nice meltdown of Legia Warsaw - who threw everything from failed hashtag twitter pleads to mass printed T-shirt campaigns at anyone who would listen until Celtic done went and hosed up their chance to have their top tiers open weekdays. It was around then I believe Warsaw became a central hub of mass human sacrifice in order to placade the hate and get Celtic drawn in the Europa League so's Legia could trounce Celtic a third and fourth time and do it without fielding any illegal players. Maybe next time, lads!

They wrote a clause in when they did the most recent changes that the approval of every club in Scotland would be needed for any further changes in the the next x years.

No football on non-International tournie summers = TV viewers (or "on demand" viewers, whatever). Simple enough idea.

Think it's a brilliant idea and the big winners would be the fans - fully expect the status quo to remain, however, as reading between the lines it looks like Celtic would veto it.

There's too many problems with a Summer season to make it worth it in my mind. With the international blackout dates being what they are, we would still be playing our season into December and starting back up again end of February/beginning of March, which gives that block of time to fix/relay the pitch (hard enough to do in Summer). Also, any clubs reaching group stages/knockout rounds of Europe would have no close season at all. Don't much fancy having the Cup final in December either.

Best bet in my mind is starting the season up in July and having 3-4 weeks off in January.

The main problem that nobody seems to have picked up on is that for the last few years, March and sometimes April is when seem to get our coldest weather. January and February are cold, yes but March is worse.

Which means that both options are hosed.
Play March - November and have multiple postponed fixtures at the start of the season or have a month long break in January then have lots of postponements after the players come back.

Hamilton say it will open up new commercial opportunities in a time of a less competitive sports market. The trouble is that when the football season ends everyone goes "OH MY GOD WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY LIFE" but there's plenty to tide them over. Every other year theres the Euros/WC, then you've got F1, poo poo loads of golf, the Tour D'France, Wimbledon etc. So it's not like Scottish football would be entering an untapped market with every TV station creaming themselves to get Ross County vs St Johnstone on TV; they'll be asking if that game is going to get more viewers than Andy Murray vs Some Anonymous Slovakian, and the answer is no.

Plus, friendlies: when do we play them? Quite a few clubs have links with smaller clubs and agree to hold a friendly every year or other year or whatever, basically to keep that smaller club afloat. Aberdeen basically do the rounds of the Highland League clubs in the region, which is good for the fans and is useful to get triallists a game or two to see how they play with 2k+ people watching them. If we're playing through the summer then those games have to happen in January, and I'm not sure how many Highland League clubs have undersoil heating (I'd take a guess at zero). Plus testimonials have to be played then as well: Aberdeen have had Manchester United (twice!), Villarreal, FC Twente and Everton up in the last 5-10 years, would any of them have come up two days after Christmas?

Plus we'll also have hilarious issues with the summer transfer window. Overall it's a crap idea.

Warburton won't be able to rise to the occasion, his transfer policy is on a knead to know basis, his training is half baked, and Rangers are a scones throw from being toast.
