flyingscot Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I’d laugh so much if that if they got their dream (and ours) to f**k off, only to realise they were minnows in the European/ English scene and getting screwed at every turn. Their fans would end up wanting to move to the MLS or something 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldchap Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Only way to sort this is to get someone from outwith Scotland who knows nothing about football to judge what is the fairest option. Bet they would nul and void the season. Won't happen because everyone including myself is biased. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly confident that no league in Europe who play a winter season like us will choose to null and void the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Apparently the top div vote was actually 10-2 Hearts "No" vote was signed but didnt actually reach the SPFL. SPFL asked the obvious question and it arrived later on last night. Budge is a real pro........................ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that the null and void option won't happen but there is something to be said for someone (Uefa maybe) just eventually having to decide something. Assuming this proposal fails, nothing will be agreed by the clubs. No voting clubs seem to be talking about league reconstruction or needing to play out the season. The first won't be voted through either and the second just isn't happening at all. I can see why the SPFL wanted to push this through. A proposal that fails by one vote is miles closer to an agreement than anything else on the table. Naturally they've made a rip-roaring c**t of it, what else would happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be having a meeting on the 23rd, which might point the top flight in a certain direction. The issue of the lower league sides squabbling over who deserves what would likely remain, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Leaked conversations between Dundee and the SPFL, rumoured to be true but I'm not 100% sure of their validity. This is Eric Drysdale (Dundee) yesterday via WhatsApp, discussing how Dundee did submit their no vote to SPFL proposal. Gerry is Britton (Partick Thistle). Neil referred to is Doncaster, the Peter is Lawwell and the John is Nelms (Dundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Jeden Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Any specialist lawyers out there? I think that if - as above snapshot says - vote was actually sent ( and was reasonably expected to get there) then legally it has been cast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 And there's absolutely nothing integrous about letting those teams in trouble have another tilt at mending/tweaking their fucking terrible squads.Perfect example is our goalkeeper is out of contract. He was the difference between staying up and going down last season. He has saved over 100 shots this season and had 10 clean sheets. Pivotal to us staying up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Jeden Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Michael Stewart asking on Sportsound why does payout of money have to be linked to calling the league as is? Inverness have £330k outstanding FFS! Who wants to put money pressure on clubs to vote to call it? Look at the board ; Motherwell unexpected 3rd place, Hamilton relieved with 11th place, Brechin, strangely the only bottom team to not be relegated. And could there possibly, just possibly, be one or two Celtic supporters on the board? This really looks smelly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Brechin not being relegated is not "strange" in any way. They're the only bottom club who are not in an automatic relegation spot - they are the equivalent of Hamilton, Queen of the South or Forfar in that they are in a relegation play-off spot. There is no way to decide who to promote through these play-offs if they can't take place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
