SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Remember when it was all about the definition of the word "season". That obviously wasnt going to plan. Now it's about it going to a vote and no doubt a bullet to the head of clubs desperate for income that if they vote against it then monies will be withheld.

graeme_4 34,479 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 “It is abhorrent that certain clubs could be unfairly relegated if the current SPFL proposals were implemented. We must future proof the Scottish game.” Always shite it to call them out. It’s not just about relegation, it’s about the title as well. That’s the driving force here.

Clubs have to play in the country they are based in is a pretty logical rule otherwise we'd have quickly been left behind as the big clubs formed their own closed-shop super league. The FA aren't keen on it and tbh, I don't see any set of circumstances in which they would be. We'd only be of interest if celtic came too so they could market the Old Firm. Not so,the Welsh clubs being a prime example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2102 577 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Is the proposal to split the prize money evenly? Because that is the only logical solution if Rangers are suggesting that the season isn’t finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Welsh clubs in the English leagues are only there because they were grandfathered in due to Wales not having a pro league at the time. Any club starting today in Wales are obliged to play in the Welsh leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Welsh leagues didn't exist until 1992 and all welsh clubs were given the option to join. Six of them accepted and a handful opted to stay within the English pyramid.

Negri's lovechild 13,988 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The correct attitude from Rangers. If money is the issue (obviously will be), then let's sort that out now and then get on with reorganizing the league structure/ settle the finalising of the league. Reading between the lines, it appears that plans are being forced upon clubs regarding reconstruction without time for the correct due diligence. Amateur hour again in Scottish football. They can't see the wood for the trees and will be making yet another mistake that will set our football back further again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,225 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Partick Thistle are 2 points behind the 2nd bottom club and have a game in hand.They,rightly, will not accept automatic relegation. Crazy proposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 League restructuring is to win them votes. Rangers putting that off the agenda will hopefully force two teams that might end up relegated on their side to finish the fenians league gift vote.

BlueThunder 8,453 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The day of the shutdown sees Lennon talking about average points, and how Sellick should be champions because of that despite average points not being the way we work out leagues. Fast forward a number of weeks and this appears... A cynical person would think this has been discussed before the shutdown and agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
