Say they want clarity so they can sort out contracts and accounts for next season. Fair enough. Then goes onto say we can expect £75000 from the relegation of Thistle and Falkirk staying down. Sorry pal, if it comes to it no bridies for me next season. You'd be amazed, or maybe not, how teams work out a budget and who they can do over to facilitate it. Remember the play off format was dreamt up by Browne McMaster and Jim Ballantyne, because your relegation had as big an impact on other clubs as it did on you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t make any difference to me if we are relegated yesterday or in several weeks’ time. What is your plausible explanation for Dundee telling other clubs unequivocally they had voted against the proposal, only for that position not to be reflected in the information published by the SPFL yesterday evening? What happened between 4pm and 6pm yesterday? Be plausible and be specific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then I suggest you apply that learning to the current context rather than asking stupid questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I missing something? Who said Forfar would go out of business? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srw Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I find the SPFL leadership, especially that utter belled Doncaster to be complete bastirds, however, I wouldn't want Rangers to bring them down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody, but the general consensus is that smaller teams will go out of business if they don't receive this cash now, just seems such a small amount that they could survive without? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it is more about clarity of what league they will be in and how to deal with all the players whose contracts run out in June. Though I dare say there are clubs who absolutely will need their final pay out, most Championship ones I would have thought though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry pal, if it comes to it no bridies for me next season. Fair play for the honesty, as he’s only admitting what is really the case for all clubs; that their vote was made for self-serving reasons. He probably shouldn’t have bothered, though, as I’d guess that now they’ll be needing to revise that estimate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
