If not, it seems mental they dont have such clear contingencies in place that have been agreed to by the clubs after last season's (and last summer's) debacles.

Mr Positive, sometimes.

They asked for control to decide what happens. I'd presume to come up with something along the lines of what you're saying. Based on the broadcast contracts etc a plan that would say in the event of X we'll do Y - but I'm not convinced they'd be that well prepared. Clubs rejected them having control in any case so as far as I understood it anyway it'll be another resolution and vote to decide if a decision needs to be made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They asked to be given the authority to make such plans and put things in place. The clubs denied them that. So, if it comes to it, another bun-fight and vote. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Just seen the First Minister’s comments on this - I am glad she has passed over the responsibilities to the SPFL to deal with Celtic. At least they can not hide behind the Government this time, although I’d be surprised if we heard anything from them on the matter. An absolute shitshow by all those involved including those who sanctioned it, which by all accounts includes the Scottish Government. I hope Julien et al. make a full & speedy recovery from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Cabbage Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Sure Romeo will be along soon to demand Celtic get given the points. The SPFL however will (and rightly so) give the points to Motherwell FC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be thrown out of Hampden for that, purely on the grounds of it being so out of touch with reality and the commonly-accepted viewpoint that even most Celtic fans have managed to voice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
