rb123! Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Ann Budge certainly isn't going to advise a proposal that will see Hearts relegated. With her being in charge of the team it can only mean either no promotion/relegation or an expanded league.At the same time I see Les Gray struggling to agree to a format which heightens the risk of them getting relegated, which we all know they always just avoid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Ann Budge will find a proposal that will ensure her club aren't relegated. Hence why she's been put in charge of it.Ok so she finds a proposal that sees a 14 or 16 team top flight. Any proposal will have to be voted through and when it comes to the time to vote it won’t pass imo. I have no doubt she’s been put in this role to save her club but I don’t see it working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got the ball rolling with that. Do not understand how Dundee fans can be upset at this - It wouldn't directly have an impact on us anyways but now, we're assured something will be produced rather than just a casual chat. It might still not go through - but we've done what we can, in the position we were in to further it from the stage that was originally suggested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Onion Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 This has been tremendous, no football for weeks and this was really needed. No way it's over yet I'm sure. The fallout could be better than the build up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not - but it's certainly in a more promising position than it was last Friday and that's down to Nelms IMO. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess. The old SPL wasn't called the Self Preservation League for nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 2 minutes ago, D'Jaffo said: She’s only been tasked with finding a proposal. If she can’t find a suitable proposal or finds one and it gets voted down then Hearts will be relegated. Reconstruction won’t happen imo. The one thing about the taskforce is that the two in cherge have got a vested interest in the league being expanded so at the very least we're guaranteed a genuine attempt at getting it reconstructed. Whether they're competent enough with their persuasion skills and/or there's sufficient appetite for change is another matter entirely of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats now the status quo. Hearts ARE a Championship team unless an expanded reconstruction agrees otherwise. Edit - or will do once UEFA grow a set and accept seasons are over.

We can't force reconstruction through, but we've now got the ball rolling with it. It can still go to shit - but we played the hand we were dealt. This was already on the table. At most, you've got them to commit to a more high-profile consultation, but the end result will be the same. Cue 'there are options, but it will be too late to implement any for the coming season'. Aye, well played indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 The bigger the league the less chance of Accies being bottom 2.Personally I'd expect Inverness and Dundee United to be better than Hamilton and St Mirren and above them in the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why she's been put in charge of it. What, does she possess psychic/mind control powers to ensure that it would be acceptable to every other club in the top flight and a significant majority in the lower leagues as well? How did her last hare-brained proposal get on exactly? And with the league season wrapped up the default outcome in the event of reconstruction proposals failing will be to promote the league winners and relegate the bottom-placed shite. Certain clubs out of self-interest wanted a guarantee from the SPFL that reconstruction would take place before voting for the proposal on Friday: they didn't get it so withheld their yes vote. The SPFL agrees to set up a mere committee to make suggestions for reconstruction that still have to be approved by the usual supermajority mechanism and Dundee folds its hand in the most pathetic manner possible. A full-blown minter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
