After playing each other twice you would then play 7 away and 8 at home. Still not perfect but nothing is going to be perfect at the present time. That's worse than we have now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 42 team megaleague. Everyone plays everybody else once, and an additional derby to make it 42 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 7 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: Its been made pretty clear over the past decade that they're on a complete power trip, and try to influence literally everything. St Johnstone held an in-house meeting to decide whether to give them 3 stands. Lawell phoned Steve Brown, without prompt from Saints, to tell him of all the benefits. They need their grubby fucking fingers in everything. Celtic have to make everything about them. That’s their ethos from the boardroom to the terraces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s only in Scotland out of the whole world that is in this predicament, aye see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan mosniack Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I remain utterly astonished that they made public the figures before all votes were cast. Can you imagine that happening in a Scottish/Westminster election, especially in a marginal seat? Madness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 1 hour ago, Skyline Drifter said: Forfar have already received just over £60,000, as have every other League One club. That would suggest that, if they are in a position to pay out money for 9th (it won't be all of it because they can't complete until after the SPFL is audited but it will likely equate to last year) then Forfar would be due circa £12,000 (+ VAT). League Two clubs have had £37k, Championship ones £145k and Premiership ones £950k, except Rangers, Celtic and Motherwell who have received almost £1.2m. 8 minutes ago, The DA said: Does anyone know what proportion of the prize money is still to be doled out?

RandomGuy. Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Just now, The DA said: Are we sure this isn't happening elsewhere? Maybe not the same level of shit-show of course. Belgian sides seem to have voted to end their league, and set a date to end. Their FA then changed the date to end it, and now claimed they might not end at all, it depends on UEFA. At the same time as this their FA have taken licences off 3 clubs in the division, so now the vote might not stand as these clubs might not be allowed a vote, but the clubs are appealing, so they might need to vote again if they win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 16-team league with a split is used in Poland. Obviously not everyone gets 8 games at home and 7 away, though. This will never be passed as it doesn’t allow for 4 OF games. Could possibly work for the Championship but I still doubt it would get any support from clubs. Edited April 11, 2020 by Nightmare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine Scot Gardiner will be popular for broadcasting the contents of a private message group. More frustrating though is it's perfectly clear the likes of Michael Stewart, Tom English and Willie Miller have neither the first clue about how corporate law works nor any ability to work out how the prize money distribution model works. Considering Miller used to actually be an official in one of our top clubs that's pretty disappointing. They can't distribute the remaining funds (assuming they have them) without declaring the positions final because THEY ALREADY HAVE DISTRIBUTED THE ENTIRE ELEMENT WHICH ISN'T DEPENDENT ON FINISHING POSITION. The amount left to pay the clubs at the bottom of each league, particularly the lower ones is fairly small. They need declared final positions to pay the rest out. Or an agreement from the clubs I suppose to distribute in some other manner. It could be pooled and split evenly I suppose but the clubs due to finish high up their leagues are unlikely to be agreeable to that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) If reconstruction comes in it needs to be absolutely mental, it would end up a shitshow regardless. 35 team top flight with one game a week involving 3 sides. Play each other once a season, at a neutral venue. After 35 games the league is split into groups of 4, with one relegation group of 3. All points until that stage are put to zero. Mini league works in the way of a group of four, except one game against each other, and you toss a coin to see whos at home. The relegation group of 3 only play each other once, all at the same time. Loser is relegated. 7 clubs left out have their own wee division where they just knock lumps out each other every week, division is called the SPFL Thunderdome.
