It is about time to start discussion for the 2012-2013 season. My guess: 1. FC Aarau - I think that they will win the league this seaon. 2. FC Winterthur - This might be their season. 3. AC Bellinzona - The loss of Yakin will hurt, but they should still be strong. 4. FC Wil - Why not. 5. FC Lugano 6. FC Vaduz 7. FC Chiasso 8. FC Biel/Bienne 9. FC Locarno 10 FC Wohlen A few interesting tidbits - 1. There will be 4 Tessin teams in the CL this season. 2. There will be only .5 Romand teams in the CL this season. 3. There is one foreign team in the CL this season.
the name of the subject should be changed to CL 2012-2013 Yakin is still at Bellinzona. Did you mean Sermeter?

Not surprising. It would be a way for Neuchatel to get back to the higher leagues quicker. Biel proposed a new 10k stadium plan about 3 years ago, I do not know what has happened since.

http://www.lematin.ch/sports/football/fusion-xamax-fc-bienne/story/19467159 The Biel/Bienne - Xamax fusion is starting to gain traction. Biel/Bienne is already playing its matches in Neuchatel this season at la Maladière. I wonder what the name would be if they actually joined. FC Bilingual? FC Lake United? Sporting Lake Biel/Bielsee?
