Ulster GAA provincial secretary and CEO Brian McAvoy says he's opposed to a league-based All-Ireland Football Championship. 

A majority of inter-county players are understood to support Proposal B at the upcoming Special Congress, which would see the Championship played on a league basis if adopted by delegates. 

Proposal A would see the Championship structured around four eight-team groups loosely on a provincial basis and either option would require 60 per cent backing at the Congress. 

McAvoy feels there's "significant weaknesses" with both proposals.

"The current system does need to be looked at, and there are certain things within the provincial system aren't really working.

"We don't feel that either of the two motions on the agenda address that.

"If you're going to have change, you have to try and get change that will make things better.

"In both scenarios we feel that the motions that are being presented by the taskforce don't do that."
