esquire8 42,902 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Only needed 8 of the Premiership teams to vote in favour but also needed all 12 teams in the SPFL to vote full stop. Club didn't vote before last nights deadline so deal is in danger. A deal that doesn't start for another 2 years. SPFL looking at another vote but would still require Rangers to vote. Looks like the club have got Doncaster by the short n hairys again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Guest Posted September 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2022 They can get round it by just passing a resolution saying that they don't need all 12 clubs to respond and push it through again, if they really wanted to. It's embarrassing they are even going for this TV deal option - particularly surprised by the clubs who engaged Deloitte to support their commercial review of Scottish football which practically all but concluded that Doncaster is an absolute waster and the SPFL is not fit for purpose in its current state.

Malkytfp1 18,600 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Pretty sure the Dundee utd American owner was going on about something to do with the TV deal and how pish it is too. Spfl is full of bureaucratic bullshit and they're genuinely not fit for purpose. Our game is an embarrassment up here and we should be aiming for a better deal. hampden86 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue 9,395 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 The product is shite be lucky to get anyone or anything else. When you see the highlights of some games (outside of us) it’s like watching Conference games down south both for quality and the volume of fans at it. That’s embarrassing but it stems from a hatred of us more than a love for their own clubs. On the flip side, everything those that run our game touch reeks of incompetence.

Yeah pretty sure the new deal closes the door for clubs to sell their own games online for when they're not on Sky.

I watched that program that shows all the lower league English matches and I'd argue the majority have far better stadiums and attendances. And Im not talking championship or league one. The games comical up here with plastic pitches grounds with wasteland behind the goals and pathetic attendances. billscott, North Antrim Loyal, WWTC and 6 others 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,280 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Deal seems crazy to me in current economic climate. Energy costs and inflation going through the roof with only the prospect of it getting worse and they’re committing themselves to a deal through to 2029. Why would you do that unless your beIng offered really big money (which patently they are not).
