roman_bairn Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 If there’s talk of a club in the Premiership going into administration soon, I’d be very surprised if it wasn’t Hearts tbh.Could also be a lever to force votes for reconstruction though..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, St. Mirren chairman used familiar language a couple of days ago, that of winding up the season to allow payments for some teams to avoid financial difficulties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Latest headline is EPL clubs preparing for the possibility to play the whole of next season behind closed doors.If that applies here we will be lucky to have any clubs survive next season..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I suspect were that true there wouldn't be a season at all, with clubs simply in abeyance and waiting for 21/22. The economics of closed door football simply don't work in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s become increasingly clear from the moment we stopped that Scottish football was unlikely to resume in any form until some point in 2021. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I’d have thought the fully professional teams will be at more risk of going under than the semi-pro ones. How many of the smaller clubs have players on contracts past this summer? Probably not many and the players all have other forms of income. If we’re not playing again until 2021 I’d expect most clubs to offload their players and staff and go into “hibernation”. This is more difficult when players have a contract and no other form of income, it’s hard to ask a F/T player to terminate their contract when they’ve no other income, zero chance of finding another club and in Scottish football are unlikely to have a large sum in the bank to fall back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think it’s certainly a case of the least number of players on a contract for next season the better at the moment. Forfar apparently have five and doubt will add to that any time soon. Like you say it will likely be full time teams at most risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a post from me about 3 weeks ago saying the same thing - until a working vaccine is found AND fully available to all the population there will only be closed door games - most experts are saying the middle of next year. I asked for real leadership to find a way for clubs to survive this but here we are still allowing a super paranoid spiteful Sevco to delay the whole process and squabbling over who did what to whom when it does not matter a fcuk in the grand scheme of things. We are on our way to the end of days for most of Scottish football and we have prioritised on a reconstruction task force - you cannot make it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 There is another task force doing exactly what you describe which features people from a variety of clubs at a variety of levels from across the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
