The idea of increasing the number of RPL clubs comes up regularly, and it is reflected in those teams that do not guarantee themselves a permit to stay in the league.
And I have already written many times that the number of teams should be reduced, because there are not enough players for 16 teams. Including due to the rather poor selection of foreign players. And only in the minds of respected veterans like Gershkovich are there Russian players who are not allowed to express themselves. In fact, we see "Pakal", then "Rodina" or "Dynamo" from Makhachkala, where, if not the whole lineup, then more than half does not match the level of the RPL. As a result, again, more than half of the games are only interesting to geeks like me. And I wouldn't have watched everything if I hadn't written about Russian football.
