There were areas of mutual agreement between the SPL and the SFL plans. The former wants to establish two top leagues of 12, which will then split into three leagues of eight mid-season, while the latter is proposing a 16-10-16 structure that encompasses all senior professional clubs and includes play-offs, a fairer revenue split and the presence of Old Firm colt teams in the bottom tier. Both sets of plans require upheaval, since the SPL would need 12 teams to resign from the SFL, while the latter's plan would essentially see the SPL merged out of existence.
