League Reconstruction 20/21 season


Recommended Posts



St Mirren and Hibs will do what they’re told
Who is telling them what to do as a matter of interest? Because both clubs seem to be very much in tune with what their fans think on this. Which makes sense since they're entirely reliant on the goodwill of those fans to fund them through a period where every bit of cash they've got coming in is based on nothing more than that goodwill.

Much like Hearts are trying to generate some goodwill themselves by blustering about potential legal action if they don't get promoted without playing a game.

A 14 team league doesn’t work, the split comes too early, it prevents any surge in the second half of the season, see St Johnstone this year.

Does it really,  you just decide who's mostly likely to get each position and allocate them accordingly.

Having trawled through the statement, two points jump out at me.
She says Hearts need to be in the Premiership as they have the facilities for testing and could be used as a hub, sharing these facilities with Premiership, Championship and League One clubs. Why could they not do the same as a Championship club? Simply because they'd be in the huff?
Also, she says clubs are against playing each other four times and this proposal addresses this for the Championship and League One. From what I can make out, they'd still be playing the same teams four times- twice before and twice after the split.

One second tier source told Sportsmail: 'Clubs in our league will not vote for this. Right now we know that one club will definitely go down in any given year with another going into a relegation play-off.

'In two years' time this plan could potentially mean six clubs being relegated. Why would clubs who could be affected vote for that? It's fantasy.

'This is a mountainous problem. Add in the fact that if Hearts and Inverness go up we will need to find another six clubs for the Championship next season at a time when there is real doubt about leagues one and two teams playing at all and the plan lacks credibility.

So it's just the exact same plan shes peddled unsuccessfully before?
Great stuff.
Add in another absolutely stupid "the Premiership needs Hearts" line to annoy fellow chairs who shes already spent the past 5 years insulting, and you've pretty much got a full house.
A temporary 2 years instead of one - is that all she could come up with?

This has zero chance of passing.

100% non starter she must have thought that plan up over dinner.

I find it remarkable how many on Kickback are hailing this as an excellent, well thought out plan. That Kool-Aid has certainly gone down well.

It is like a flashback to rangers in 2012 before they died.  Utter delusion

Kickback have the same “we will bring them all down and we will survive” mentality that seems a little  ironic.

This is from  a club that recently went into administration and got relegated after years of money laundering from Lithuania..

Apparently:
For Hearts' 14-14-14 plan to pass, it would require nine of the 12 Premiership clubs to vote in favour, along with eight in the Championship and 15 across Leagues One and Two.
A 14-14-16 model - which would include Lowland League champions Kelty and Highland counterparts Brora - needs the approval of 11 of the 12 Premiership clubs, 17 in total from the top flight and Championship, and 32 of the current 42 in all divisions.
Why the difference?
