Only two (three at a push) of those players still with us two years later. Changed days from the stable ICT side of the mid 2010s.

Problem is the Premiership clubs will have a major say in the proposal, if I'm reading it right. Even if it does goes through, I'd suggest the 12 currently up there will have it, somehow, bent to their will. I wouldn't trust Ann Budge with reconstruction either, she's been pretty vocal about wanting the size of the SPFL cut in half and the part time sides cut adrift. I didn’t realise that about Budge. She is for the watching then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn’t - only if the reconstruction involves increasing the number of clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 That's not going to happen with this proposal - if 10 SPFL clubs vote against it it's done for, so she'll probably need at least a few votes from the current League 2 clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no idea it was 3 years ago now I ended up giving a lift to 3 pished ICT fans from the City centre, got £30 off them and used it to go the game in the Dumbarton end...

She'll use these talks as a vehicle to save Hearts, and utterly fucking shaft any club below them. In terms of reconstruction, its maybe a case of better the devil you know... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reconstruction might rest on how much she demands it be about her, by the sounds of the BBC article shes "leading the taskforce". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Just now, Cowden Cowboy said: No it doesn’t - only if the reconstruction involves increasing the number of clubs Well that's strictly true, but I can't see any expansion of the top flight which doesn't subsequently lead to at least two more clubs being added to the SPFL. An 8 team division would make no sense, and anything which changes from 4 to 3 divisions is going to be an instant vote loser surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossDee01 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 The original statement about the resolution already made a commitment to discussing league reconstruction, so this was always going to happen.Dundee have achieved the square root of exactly nothing here.Perhaps not, but at least they tried. The same can’t be said for every other club in the SPFL happy to bend over and take what they’re given. We had absolutely nothing to lose out of this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused, m8. Did Nelms use his bargaining chip to get in this position or not? How did we get to the stage of having a reconstruction taskforce set up if he was talking to the wrong people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
