This has to be a massive wake up call to those SPFL Clubs who don’t have a bronze licence and have one year to get it.
If they don’t and on the back of todays decision, those Clubs face being chucked out the SPFL at end of next season ?
The Club put something out recently that income is now about 100k down after SPFL so even parachute payments doesn’t really fill that gap.
I’d like to see any business lose that amount and then immediately bounce back tho I think it will happen eventually. Clubs have to reorganise which takes time.
Cowdenbeath had 8 scheduled Lowland League midweek fixtures this season, even before postponements kicked in. I assume other teams would have similar.
League games should be played on Saturdays and punt all these cup games into midweek.
Be interesting to see how MK handles this now in his attempt to follow Calum Elliot into the SPFL.
Resting players now that the league is won is tempting but then they have to come back and play in high intensity games and it’s not easy to do that.
The team has underperformed no doubt. However will probably be a 5 place improvement and I think 10 points more at this point.
Same again next season would be big step forward. Wont be easy as a few Clubs will continue to outspend us.
