I can see this being used as an opportunity for a league reshuffle. Top 4 teams up, no relegation from Prem, 16 teams next season is what I say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It would be an absolute shambles and grossly unfair if you guys don’t get promoted if the season ends now. Speaking as a Thistle fan it might work in our favour we’ll wait and see, but with more than 3/4 of the season completed and Utd so far in front I can’t see how the SPFL could deny you promotion. It’s a complex issue which is going to cause unbelievable scenes whichever way it pans out.Whilst true, I don’t know how they decide who comes down? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dregs 83 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 If I’m being honest, the cancellation of the season seems the most likely option.You can’t just stop time, and as people have said players contracts and the less cut and dry positions of other clubs come in to play.It’s just one of those things that happens in life, people’s health(including that of the coaching and playing staff and their families) is far more important.What I’m more concerned about-as fans of other clubs on here should be- is the loss in revenue that will occur, some very difficult times ahead for Scottish football.I’m in a fortunate position where my job (god willing) should be relatively secure, and can spare some cash. I’m going to cancel my monthly arabzone subscription and pay for a yearly one up front, and try and spend equivalent of a match ticket on stuff that’s produced by the club shop for the time being- either that or just donate. This isn’t something that’s going to just go away- we might be feeling the ramifications of this for decades.I for one blame Stumigoo- all of this escalated as soon as the blogs stopped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that quickly so the numbers might not add up.It won’t happen, and some might think it’s a crazy idea, but that would by my preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaspianChris Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Its null and void Its null and void Its null and void Time to come to terms with no league completion, no title and no promotion. Football is of least concern in a situation like this. Time for a digital football fix with FM20 + FIFA 20. Plenty to be getting on with both on particular FM while the season is suspended. Trophies to be won with Liverpool, Trabzonspor, Benfica and The Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
