theoriginalhedge Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 On 12/01/2021 at 11:57, The Moonster said: That has absolutely no relevance whatsoever here. Last year we were all at panic stations and had no idea how we'd get the country out of the pandemic - everything was shut down without notice really. Since last summer there have been warnings about a second wave which could be worse than the first given the time of year, yet we're supposed to believe the SPFL just had to make a split decision on Sunday evening to cancel all football? Have they not been consulting on possible outcomes throughout the season? Or are they really so reactionary that they just act when a headline comes out? Clubs should've been well warned that shutdown in January was not only possible but likely if cases shot up. Not only that, but when the SPFL start discussing when they are going to implement a shutdown, it might be an idea to give a wee heads up to your member clubs. If they do that then Brora don't travel. Communication is clearly something clubs aren't happy with, even Jack Ross felt he had to say something about it on Sky last night. I totally agree with the communication issues you are stating here. After the shambles of trying to decide who won what and the infamous relegation debacle, you would think the first thing the spfl would do is to put a hard and fast ruling in place at the start of this season should the scenario happen again . Or is that too logical ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they get the go ahead to resume at some point That's maybe an overly simple view. A curtailed season raises many of the questions about sporting integrity again - teams doing well will be all for it those at the other end of the League will be agin it. Instead of say 17/19 more games to turn your season round you get only 8/9. A bad run of form or injuries gives little chance to recover as compared to a normal season. Then you will get a debate about whether play offs will apply. Clubs already submitted their individual views as to what should be done/process if season was curtailed - I expect these would show a wide range of opinions and all these views would likely now be impacted by that club's current situation/position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean the clubs have no come back should the spfl have to make another such decision? Well I'm sure they will still demand 'leadership' and tell all their supporters that the fault for the ensuing chaos lies with the spfl board, but they have effectively guaranteed another bunfight and vote situation should similar circumstance arise around ending season early. That was, in their mind, better than giving them the powers to call it. They've effectively gambled that the season would finish this time and that there'd be no danger of another curtailment. The clubs appoint the board, they appoint the chief exec and they give them the powers they want them to have. The spfl is a weak, rudderless organisation that stumbles from crisis to crisis, with a leadership that struggles to in any discernible way actually lead. They are in this state because the clubs have, deliberately or otherwise, made it so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the clubs will have to carry the can if it descends into cats in a sack again, as they explicitly refused the board the right to make an executive decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Has last season's decisions set a precedent that they must follow? Any other option chosen now, would smack of favouritism to whoever it benefited. Missing the opportunity to set the rules in advance is really stupid - from the outside looking in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
