AyrshireTon Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Dave McKinnon has confirmed that we voted against it (not a surprise). He's also confirmed that ICT were pushing for a null and void, despite their "scintilla" ridden statement (ranks up there with concomitant). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the real world, in just over two weeks time, hundereds of Scottish footballers will go unemployed and not entitled to any government support, they will have no income. There is no plan as to how clubs can justify employing these unemployed players. There is no plan on how to restart a season which isn't going to be a normal season, every other aspect of life is having to change due to conronavirus and football will be no exception. There is no plan on how to financially subsidise clubs for not being able to play without fans. That is the only REAL priority in Scottish Football right now, that's what should be the reasoning behind any EGM, not because 'he said if we didn't vote yes he'd threaten a square go or we've been unfairly relegated that's not on' Every clubs who's bickering atm needs to wake up, move on and work together on how to come up with a plan, to get Scottish Football going in August with all 42 clubs participating. Why would unemployed footballers not be entitled to any government support? They can be furloughed by whoever they were employed by on 28th February (think that's the correct date), even if their contract is finished. The club may choose to supplement their wages with the extra 20%, but doesn't have to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August would be great but I'd imagine if it does kick off then itll be behind closed doors at the very best. This will force clubs to think outside the box to keep the future bright. Not just scoop up our season ticket money and club merchandise etc every year. This is an opportunity for the busines people behind football clubs to use their expertise and change and develop the club football financial model to something more robust. Like all other small to global companies will have to. I think it'll be no specator games until some point in 2021, if all goes well in the next couple of months and infections and deaths continue to reduce then there probably will be a safe justification to be able to play behind closed doors. Completely agree with you that this is a good opportunity for clubs to come up with new routes of income and make these changes permenant for even when football goes back to normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought once the contracts expire at the end of this month then they wouldn't get the furlough, apologies if that's not correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty stadium games are not an option. It is not affordable. If it was only a month, or maybe even two at the very most, then maybe it could be done, but the costs of everything cannot be met with the massive reduction in income 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
