I know, it’s entirely our own fault that the football authorities stopped our teams playing, and we should be penalised for not completing on time and upsetting the big teams in the pond above.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this proposal is entirely made up by League 1 and 2 clubs, so it kind of is our fault. We have enough time to complete 18 games and start the play-offs on time. It seems the SPFL board want that and presumably the Championship clubs have no issues with it, as their schedule stays the same. For some reason which ahs not yet been explained, League 1 and 2 clubs want to add a bizarre split, to play some more games that aren't required, and to delay the schedule of the play-offs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point if it wasn’t for the small factor that the proposal is for 22 games rather than the 27 that the helpful SPFL would impose upon us......I guess I also ought to mention that the 22 games is to satisfy this bizarre voting approach of 8 out of 10 clubs needing to agree, but the ludicrous nature of this system we have has been discussed many times..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL don't impose anything on us. They're literally letting us sort it out and if we can't sort it out we will play what we originally agreed.

League 1 and 2 clubs have literally just proposed a 22 game season off their own back.

Shadwell Dog Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Only certain clubs know why it's 22 and I would only presume it's to try and save their own skins at the bottom or give them more chance at the top. As per usual though the sensible option is being bypassed again through sheer self interest. If we can't play 27 then the fairest option is 18 and a playoff not 22 then a split playoff then a promotion playoff against virtually the same teams but two. Completely ludicrous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_M Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 With moaning about the cost of testing and the distribution of government funds previously, why on earth would the clubs want to voluntarily pay for an extra 4 games worth of testing? Surely they aren't banking on loads of income from a few extra proxy streams? Unless they are looking to reduce any potential refunds to season ticket holders? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they "make it happen" when the clubs in the summer explicitly voted against an 18 game season, and also explicitly voted against giving the SPFL Board the executive power to do so? I'm pretty sure you'd be outraged if they decided to go against the wishes of the clubs in any other scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How-many times do I need to state that I do NOT want clubs to control these decisions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
