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. Of course. We are only thinking of this in terms of a Premiership capacity. Going from 14 back to 12 in two years. Championship, League 1 and League 2 clubs going from 14 back to 10 in 2 years from now is absolutely madness and they'll be even more painfully hit. For her plan to go through, in the 21/22 season you would be doing the following: Relegate 3 Premier league sides to get back to 12. 3 down 1 up. Have teams fighting it out for 1 promotion spot in a 14 team championship. Relegate 7 teams from the same 14 team championship. Have teams vying for 1 promotion spot from the 14 team league 1. Relegate 10 teams from the 14 team league 1. So in a best case scenario (not even including possible playoffs which could lead to more promotion and relegation) that would mean in 2021/22, you'll have a situation where 2 teams across Scottish football (not including HL/LL) will be promoted and at least 20 out of 42 teams across the board are going to be relegated. All to save Hearts. Absolutely fucking ludicrous. This old c**t should be booted into the nearest body of water immediately.

RossBFaeDundee Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Also, for a good laugh: Championship opposition to the plan is further heightened by ill-feeling towards Inverness Chief Executive Scot Gardiner following a bitter civil war over the SPFL's resolution to end the season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERSOUTH Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Championship won't vote for this. A Budge wants to just accept her team is relegated, what would she say to Dundee & Inverness going up but Hearts stay in Championship in other words 3 up 1 down. I don't think she would want 14 teams in top league then.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) I mean, it might have had no chance anyway, but surely 14/10/18 would have been a better votewinner (assuming we're sticking at 42). No-one relegated, less disruption caused when reverting back to the previous structure and gives a more accurate split in terms of teams who are likely to be able to play the whole season/half a season/not at all next season. 14 is also an awkward number for divisions with promotion and relegation. Probably wasn't considered. Edited May 26, 2020 by DC92 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) I must say I love those on Kickback who are not even willing to believe that any number of Championship clubs would have already dismissed this awful proposal. Gives me a good chuckle. Particularly big fans of GS's words too. Edited May 27, 2020 by RossBFaeDundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Budge and the Jambo fans still trying to make out this isn't about their relegation and is instead about saving everyone else?Time to take your medicine and get doon Hearts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, the more that's written, the more there is scope for contradictions and loopholes. Particularly with the exceptions and caveats that come with a negotiation and with standard wordings and with pre-used schedules bolted on at the end. I'm obviously in a minority of one with this. But to me, people have their fingers in their ears and are shouting la-la-la can't hear you. I'll leave it at that. You seem to think your assertion that 'Oh it's Sky, they'll find something' makes you come across very hard hitting, when in reality you've been asked several times to suggest an actual issue and you just respond with 'contracts are big documents, you people don't understand!!!' I think you actually know f**k all. So we'll leave it at that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I'd have more respect for Budge if she stopped trying to pedal that this is about the good of Scottish football. It is about saving Hearts and nothing else, I don't have a particular issue with her attempting to do that. As it is, and has been said, this is dead on arrival. No chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think clubs in Scotland should and will vote for a reconstruction that will see nearly 50% of clubs in the country relegated at the end of 2021/22 season? Why should they vote for this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts were bottom when a global pandemic hit and prevented any more games being played, after 80% of the season had been completed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to consider it seriously, yes. Most of them are going nowhere anyway so it makes no difference. The other half are hopefully going bust. -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
