They tried to make changes this year, but with the loss of Smederna and riders reportedly not being paid, something drastic had to be done. SVEMO have announced the Elitserien will be closed from 2011 - that is, there will be no promotion and relegation from the top series. It will still exist, but will only be made up of teams who want to, and can afford to, run at the higher level. How many that will be no-one yet knows.
Clubs will have to submit biannual statements of account, and there will be an emphasis on developing Swedish youngsters to cut down on the amount of foreign riders in the league.
Basically everything they said they should be doing last year. And again, it's meeting with mixed reception.
