He claims that if this reconstruction vote fails, then any club who doesnt agree to start playing when the season starts on its originally planned date will be instantly expelled from the SPFL. As if the next two months dont exist and its August tomorrow. The article just doesnt make any sense to me tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a well thought out article In summary, the current setup means that due to CV19 clubs will be unable to complete a full season....................but under the proposed setup clubs (some of whom will need to play more games) will be fine and dandy. Its tinfoil hat stuff from the p***k that said our fans assaulted every single Rangers player. He is a tangoed w****r. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doncaster can recommend a solution, but the clubs still need to vote for it. Can you explain to us what - in Budges proposal - makes it better for the 42 teams? Happy to take your answers on a divisional level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 A 13 team top league is the obvious answer, promote 1 team in from each division & relegate noone. This makes room for one of Kelty or Brora. Does mean 2 teams getting relegated next season. Also 1 team would be automatically relegated from League 2. Everything else would remain the same. Maybe use average points for the extra relegation so this season still counts? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illogical nonsense from start to finish. The whole point of reconstruction is now supposedly to achieve flexibility, but if a change to divisions of 14-14-14 fails then the SPFL are going to be entirely inflexible and make the season start as scheduled for divisions of 12-10-10-10 even where every club in a division doesn't want to play? There'd be no mechanism for clubs to change that rule in the intervening months before the scheduled start of the season if they aren't in leagues of 14-14-14? Considering all the criticisms of the SPFL from the media as well as Rangers, Hearts, Inverness, Partick, Falkirk & Stranraer for linking a vote on one issue to another related issue - you had to have the league declared on PPG to get prize money for final positions - how ironic that they're now briefing that if clubs don't back Hearts on this issue, they'll get fucked over on another issue. The difference being that it was self evident to anyone with a brain that paying out prize money for final positions was dependent on actually having final positions, whereas this is clearly made up drivel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) The Keith Jackson article doesn't really make sense. When the reconstruction vote inevitably fails, surely someone else will propose a resolution to halve the Championship calendar and it'll pass no bother.

sergie's no1 fan Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Why is Budge getting a 2nd shot at this? All she has done is wrapped up the box with a different bow on top. It's still the same crap plan to save her crap team. No chance this will go ahead, nothing has changed in the last 2 weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Ignoring Jacksons rubbish, I've yet to hear how this reconstruction saves Scottish football. Budge is trying to spread this message but I've yet to see anything tangible. Other than the short term thinking of Hearts being a bigger club, why should anyone vote for this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Doncaster is warning of the most dire of consequences if reconstruction doesn't happen and he's going to sort out any dissenters. Does Anne Budge actually have a chance of winning this in court? If Scoops article is correct then the spfl are back in full panic mode. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
