It's all there in the rules. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be in bottom place and should be relegated because that's the rules. I take offence at your remark but you have just made yourself look like an ignorant knuckle dragger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure you've made the point you thought you were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wait, relegating a team 30/38 games into a season for being in an automatic relegation place is less fair than promoting a team at same stage of season who aren't in an automatic promotion place? Riiiiight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think many clubs would turn their noses up at that. The current TV deal is about £18m a year, and the total prize pot is £25m. If everything else was to stay the same, and the £30m a year figure is right, the new TV deal would take the prize pot up to something like £37m, which would be almost a 50% increase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riiiiight. Yes. Exactly. Although, you'd allow for play-offs, just excusing those 2nd.-last teams from them. If EFL & NL can have their play-offs in England, SPFL can, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league doesn't have a sponsor for next season though so the prize pot presumably stands at the TV deal and not much else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon are making huge profits from the lockdown and they're in dire need of a PR boost. Given that they've taken money from the likes of Ladbrokes I hope they've at least sent a begging letter in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what we can look forward to. We've done the pawn shops and bookies,, maybe tanning salons or storage companies, who I believe are often cash rich and need to process it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Even trying to be as objective as I can, I don't see how relegating teams with 8 games to go is more fair than reconstruction. The argument is that the teams in 3rd/4th place have as much a claim as the teams in 2nd, but those teams are being denied promotion by the current proposal anyway and they'd have a theoretically better chance of promotion next season with an expanded top league. If your argument is that we shouldn't have reconstruction because the current model is better then that's fair enough, but it's a different argument. What's happening now isn't happening because it's the fairest way, it's happening because it's the least inconvenient. That was always going to be the case because the SPFL is a members-run organisation and clubs will vote for their own interests, not out of altruism. We're one of the few getting shafted out of it and I don't necessarily blame Budge for trying to stop that, but it's a waste of time. I wouldn't expect us to give a f**k if it was someone else. I do blame Budge for making a catastrophic arse of running the club for the last 5 years, but that's another matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
