It may simply be down to a minor technicality so until I know a wee bit more about it, I'm loathe to jump in two-footed. The accusations of bullying and coercing other clubs seems like there's a lot more to come, although given Robertson's postion on the SPFL board, this surely isn't something that has just came to light. These talks have been going on for weeks and one chairman criticised the 'self-interest' from certain clubs pushing these plans weeks ago. Null and void isn't on the table because of the financial consequences. Rangers haven't even proposed it and are seemingly against it too. I dont think null and void should be the solution (although this isn't anything new) cheers mate, and tin hat on but I do actually think when you engage you're an asset to this site (that's me fucked now) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote to go ahead. Seems Rangers proposal has been rejected out of hand,more proof that they're trying to 'buy' the title for the taigs. Surly in the real world it makes sense to pay out an amount of prize money to struggling clubs but not holding them to ransom over the vote 😞 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think null and void should be the solution (although this isn't anything new) What are you basing this on? Rangers want the season to continue but if it doesn’t are you honestly of the belief that there preference would be to gift them the title. Voiding the remainder of the obligations is the fairest option and it can be done by frustration of contract. No need to call any winners or loser because as of yet there isn’t any.

Privately we'd bite your hand off for a null and void, however not pushing for it knowing it might have to be a default position if votes fail could be a clever tactic in terms of us and sporting integrity with us saying we want the season finished on the park.

Yes we all know that, but just because they aren’t shouting out loud that it must be null and void doesn’t automatically pertain to them wanting to gift titles and promotion to teams that haven’t put themselves into a situation to allow for this.

Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It really is fucking sickening what’s become of Scottish football, if we don’t really put up a fight over this and make some really big moves then I’m done, what is the point anymore with the level of corruption in the game?Another tainted title for them, but never let it be forgotten that while thousands across the nation were dying, and literally every other club saying football was no longer important and health comes first the manager and captain of these shameless bastards were straight out in the media demanding the title. Fuck Scottish football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Null and void is the only option. The only thing these corrupt bastards have got right is that the league should end as is, with not a single team having done enough to be called champions hence no need for promotion or relegation.

It would appear the only one using smoke and mirrors here is you. Smoke and mirrors? The league winner's 2019-2020 determined by a contested vote = winning on a playing field 2018-2019? I believe I have been fair and honest, do you have the same morals? 2018 - 2019 league winners won fair and square, under the rules. If there is a winner of the 2019 - 2020 season, is that win the same as the previous season under the same rules? If so, why a vote? *Voted winners 2019 - 2020 / Null and Void, there is no other option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
