DukDukGoose Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I posted on here months ago that Celtic were obviously going to win the league. Doesn't mean I just think it should be handed to them. Edit: Posted as a new post rather than a reply. I'm an imbecile.

scottmcleanscontacts Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 How this season is resolved is a secondary issue for me. Main focus for Scottish football is the survival of clubs and the protection of players/employees. This is a monumentally serious situation for the whole game. Who gives a f**k about 9 in a row or whatever else. Relegations are relevant only because the financial implications for clubs.When put like that, you're spot on. Titles/Relegations fairly/unfairly assigned argument apart.Shite like nine in a row means f**k all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of us are playing particularly well. Next season Hibs etc could improve and Livi are nowhere near it. That would be harsh on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The 14-10-10-10 model is the only one that limits the losers, if, as seems likely, there is no football for a while. Do this, get prize money paid early and have the BBC Scotland channel launching a series of "Sportscene Gold". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Forgot to add, cup semis and final in place as curtain raiser to next season. Ditch the league cup for one season, ditch the diddy lower league cup forever, play league games every Saturday and stop having breaks for no reason. And, while we're at it, split gate money 50/50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 2 hours ago, Swello said: I thought - purely for cashflow reasons - that there would be little interest in trying to complete this season in August or beyond, simply as clubs will want as much prize money released as soon as possible (including the "success based" money) to tide them over until they can release players at the end of their contracts and start to get some season ticket revenue in.... I'm not sure why completing the season makes any of this impossible. They are two separate issues. You can chuck out as much prize money as you want now under some slightly tweaked model, and then just make the completion of the season about getting promotion and relegation sorted properly. No matter what format we use, we won't be able to play football until some unknown date in the future, and then at that date clubs will want to start playing immediately to generate income. In some senses, it would actually be easier to complete the season from that point of view. Starting a new season generally requires some long-term planning, whilst picking up these fixtures can probably be done at less than a week's notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftk Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 You can not change the rules of a competition after it has started.Complete this season whenever it's safe to do so. If that means shortening next season then so be it. No other option is acceptable! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can shorten a season then you can shorten this one and the SPFL Board has disrcetion built in to the definition of a 'season' within its regulations. Mentioned this point before but it is there although I have no idea (obviously!) which option they reach for to sort this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofarl Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The problem with shorting the next season is the same as ending this one early. Say next season we only get 30 games. Who’s to say a team like Hamilton would not stay up had they an extra 9 games to play. Likewise any title won would be tainted as it’s not a full and proper season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is way, way, way more important than “sporting integrity.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm no, so long as the number of games is set out before the league starts (and the fixtures are equitable) then you can have no grounds for complaint whatsoever. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
