TheScarf Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 The 11-1 voting structure is fucking mental. It’s basically ensures no changes will ever be made to the Premiership. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudden two seasons in the championship and relegated both times. He's the Ashley Ward of the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if they win. If they lose then theyve just opened themselves up to severe punishment, as taking your league organisation to civil court, to contest a decision theyve made while following their own laws, is a breach of SPFL/UEFA/FIFA rules, and could well mean they face signing embargoes (like Rangers when they last tried this), a fine of over £1m, or retraction of their SPFL membership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the SPFL get official notification of this, suspend them immediately. And then promote the clubs who finished and and 3rd in League One. Job done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had an ideal chance to change it to 9/3 when Sevco got punted to League 2, but St Mirren and Ross County blocked it, along with restructuring to 12-12-18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Was Aberdeen that stabbed the other 39 clubs in the back over 11-1 wasn't it? SM and RC definitely did scupper 12-12 --> 8-8-8 I remember that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought so too but the Daily Record doesn't lie! 9/3 was lumped in with reconstruction. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/plan-new-league-set-up-1833686 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 There was a separate vote proposed well before that, back in the SPL days, where Aberdeen voted alongside Celtic to block a change to the 11-1 majority. Ironically, the example you've shown there and the carry on with the colts in recent weeks has shown that the 11-1 does have some benefits too. The main reason people used to complain about it was because it prevented a more equitable split of the prize money in the SPL days (it used to be 32% between the top two clubs), but a fairly substantial change to that was voted through while Rangers were away anyway. What happened in the St Mirren and Ross County case is that both of those clubs were against the 12-12-18 structure with the mid-season 8-8-8, and blocked it from happening. Then, in a last ditch attempt to get it through, Celtic (and maybe others) proposed a change in the voting structure to 9-3 purely so it could get through, and St Mirren and County blocked that change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that. So effectively Ross County and St Mirren are carrying a lot of power in Scottish football relative to what they both bring to the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I see Doncaster has landed a role with UEFA on the disciplinary side of things Unfortunately he's still with us but they obviously have no idea what kind of clown they're taking on board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve looked into UEFA Disciplinary decisions, they probably needed a clown that won’t mind always being abused and reversed.
