You're presenting bennett as if hes capable of individual thought. Fans on FollowFollow will have UEFA down as enemies, so bennett will just blindly follow (follow) their train of thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 As I have said throughout this UEFA directives and national government ideas, two entirely different things . Do think SPFL dreams of new next season contracts will have to wait and they will have to finish this season in whatever shape or form that takes . If they don’t think risk of forfeiting European places isn’t going away . However papers reporting it’s a go ahead to end top league it’s not and it’s the same thing they have been saying for weeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The association of professional clubs has resolutely sent Waasland-Beveren to 1B. An unfinished competition is accepted as an ordinary finished competition. The fact that WB was still able to manage on a sports basis is not taken into account. This decision goes against the rules and statutes of the Royal Belgian Football Association. Fortunately, there are not many precedents for football league closures, but a seasonal cancellation was always the logical consequence. That is not the case today. The club board will now come together in the coming hours and days and will consider further steps with a view to the near future. Because let this be clear: WB will not just accept the forced decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should copy the Belgian league model, it's far too ridiculous to not be considered for Scottish football. *obviously still relegating Hearts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowrising Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 18 games in a season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I think Raman has his wires crossed somewhere, because if they're starting in October there's no way you'd only be playing 18 games. If they're paying players anyway then they'd be as well maximising the income by having a longer season.18 games would suggest a January start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yes and why should lowerleagues, where crowds are generally much lower, therefore distancing much easier with limited numbers of fans, not be allowed to start up at all? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yes and why should lowerleagues, where crowds are generally much lower, therefore distancing much easier with limited numbers of fans, not be allowed to start up at all?Would a limited number of fans be better than hibernation for a clubs survival? The clubs dont seem to think so currently. With very little income and still having to pay wages the leagues wouldn't last very long. Testing will cost a lot too (around £3000-5000 per week/per club currently). I think the 18 games are just referring to the championship. 9 home + 9 away = 18 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mibee. Yes possibly. If clubs at that level decide it's too complicated/ expensive to start back playing then that's fair enough. I maybe read it wrong, that the Premiership was being seen as the priority, and the lower leagues held back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with them not being allowed to, it's more to do with them not wanting to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
