invergowrie arab Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 No transfers until October. Finish this season August/September 20/21 season of 1 home 1 away and split. League starting in October. No league cup or wafer cup. This stuff is a piece of piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think anyone is saying that the season should be voided at this very minute But the fact is that this situation isn’t going to go away anytime soon. The peak is going to happen in 10-14 weeks And there will come a point when a decision has to be made when that time inevitably comes, the decision will be to void the season this world wide emergency is far bigger than Dundee United! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add 1 year on to all players contracts. No league has been won yet so the legal argument would fall to bits. More importantly, what happens with the hot potato? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If we get to April 4th and the situation isn't approving then there will be zero appetite to even attempt to complete the season by say end of June. IMO this will leave us with two options: 1. Finish this current season in August and then start new campaign pretty much immediately after (f**k knows how that would work with squads). 2. This is a pretty random idea that came into my head, leave it as uncompleted and going by current tables everyone who should be champions get their trophies and everyone who's in relegation positions get relegated. Bottom 2 go down from Prem and top 4 come up from Championship, bottom 2 go down from Championship and top four come up from League 1 and the rest of league 1 merges with league 2. Would restructure the leagues and leave us with three leagues of 14/12/16 (if my maths is right) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partick Thistle currently have it but if it was to be awarded now, I may get a legal challenge from the Morten fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cilitbang Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 When it comes to the bigger leagues, the broadcasters will eventually push for the games to go on behind closed door. Else there will most likely be a clause in their contracts which allows them to withhold money to the leagues’ since no product to broadcast. Once that happens, we will probably follow suit and finish the league behind closed doors with skeleton crews for media coverage etc. I’m personally all for scrapping cup competitions next season since the euro’s will get pushed back a year and have to be crammed into the schedule with things like Wimbledon, golf, cricket, remaining 6 nations games, Olympics and whatever else is affected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Just came up with the best solution ever. Solves everything. Merge this season with next season, 76 games in the season which continues after the break. Foolproof. And definitely not incredibly stupid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, the playing staff don't want to play behind closed doors as it puts them at risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why screening everyone prior would eliminate that (in theory). I don’t disagree with your points, I just don’t see broadcasters that have overnight lost their schedule, to not push for something, and we live in a world where money talks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post invergowrie arab Posted March 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2020 When the crisis is over finish this season with a week long extravaganza of football. A game a day and two on a sunday to finish it off. Players will die but what a week. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think broadcasters will just have to ride it out like the rest of business and prepare for a financial hit. They can't let clubs go to the wall as this would effect their future income. The SPFL, clubs, fans and broadcasters all have to pull together on this as they all will be losing out in some way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
