What was on offer was worth it and was supposedly only on offer with a yes vote. Accepting that in hindsight it was wrong isnt the same as a shift. I thought similar to you at the time, the SFL clubs should have screwed the SPL for everything they could get to let Sevco in at the second tier. Either that or let them start again in the Juniors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when it's one held by the majority of your fanbase then I reckon your board should have listened. Rangers getting parachuted into the championship was wrong, even our cockwokbles in Masterton and Yorkston realised that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT and I will never see entirely eye to eye on that, or on the issue of Jim McIntyre. It's not a new debate and it's probably in the wrong place but such s the way of I think all that masturbating into your Rangers scarf has gone to your head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when it's one held by the majority of your fanbase then I reckon your board should have listened. Especially given that during that summer, the club actively sought fan opinion on the subject via the OS, pledging to listen and take account of views. The return was nearly unanimous in urging the club to require Rangers to enter the bottom tier. Clearly, the board was under no absolute obligation to vote in a way that reflected fan opinion. To seek it, then fly in the face of it, however, would surely require a very convincing explanation. The rationale that emerged a few days later was anything but convincing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom tier gets 2 extra clubs chucked in for some inexplicable reason and also plays either 30 or 37 games. Absolute mess top to bottom. Almost every suggested reconstruction of the leagues just looks more shit than what we have and none of them have a chance of passing a vote. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeMan Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 That proposal is horrendous. Personally I think the league setup we have at the moment is about as good as it gets, there are meaningful games for most teams right to the end of the season. There is no point in breaking that just to save Hearts. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Someone needs to kick Ann Budge in the pie. Soon and hard. If Hamilton or St Mirren had been bottom of the league at close down we wouldn’t even be entertaining this pish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hearts might be relying too much on Rangers. They've backed them with the dodgy dossier calls, but I'm not sure that backing will be reciprocated when reconstruction come to the crunch. It'll make no odds to Rangers if Hearts go down. Rangers and Celtic would be more likely to back a 10 team division and get rid of more diddies.

vikingTON Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 If they think that their reconstruction plan is for the long term good of Scottish football then they must accept that 20/21 can be a transition season towards that new model. Given the probability that the next campaign will be curtailed in some form anyway, there is practical as well as sporting merit in obliging teams to play their way into each of the three new tiers: let's have two automatic promotion spots and a playoff next season in the Championship then, with Hearts still punted into it for being shite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
