There could still be a singing section. There’ll be no wheezing section as those punters recovering from the virus will still be in the house. The singing section could still work. The masks might muffle the singing a bit, but sacrifices must be made to ensure football goes ahead as soon as humanly possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What "teams" are saying you shouldn't be allowed to play in a league next season? I don't think any club has made any sort of statement on the theoretical situation we're discussing in here. Fans of pretty much every club but your own are saying it's ridiculous to parachute Falkirk into whatever league will have them. I don't think it's a good look to go down the very Rangersy path of holding grudges against teams over "sporting integrity". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank von Hell Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Have I got this right? This James Anderson bloke had said he wanted to donate money to the lower leagues in Scotland. Now , and after Doncaster spoke with him , it's to be spread amongst the Premiership clubs as well who currently get the lions share of all money and includes the multi million cashed up Celtic. Have I misunderstood? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ‘guy’ is totally genuine. He is a partner with Baillie Gifford and runs the Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust which is now capitalised at around£12bn. When I started investing in it about 30years ago, it was well under a billion but due to spending lots of time in Silicon Valley he spotted all the big tech opportunities before they hit the big time- Amazon,Tesla, Netflix, Alibaba, Apple, you name them. Its worth going to the AGM’s just to hear him give his take on the investment scene. He is a very cerebral type and gives lots of money to arts projects and donates to the EIF. As you say, the only worry is Doncaster and the blazers at the SPFL. The big leverage which he has is that he supports Hearts and I would imagine that something will be done to keep them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s really no indication at all that this investment will be made contingent on keeping Hearts up. In fact, it’s the first positive development I’ve seen since March that makes me think lower league football might be possible any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I misunderstood? Wouldn't it be nice if the cash was split 42 ways equally? Let's say that he donated £4.2m for example, giving each club £100k. Do you think that's possible or more likely that it's split the way everything else is? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's an opportunity for the Premier league mouthpieces to say, 'here is our contribution to the good of Scottish football - everyone take an equal share please and good luck' They won't get a better opportunity than free money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
