Personally, I think they should have run it with the11 teams.
Then next season promote 3 teams so we have 14.
Then we could get rid of the stupid loop fixtures.......
Think its unfair to even try and pick 1 team.
No reason why they couldn't do this with a 12 team league though.
Add 1 team for next season, give them the protection of no relegation next year (which is a must really given the timescale they will have to get ready for SL) and promote 2 further teams to make it up to 14 for the season after.
It would mean reduced funding but clubs need to be more self funding anyway rather than totally reliant on broadcast income. Hopefully the removal of loop fixtures would also remove some of the apathy towards attending matches and seeing the same game again and again (once attendance is actually allowed again of course).
