Muggy Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Definitely seems like there was collusion at play between the Championship clubs. Would be interesting to see how Dundee and Inverness were incentivised by Thistle for their original No vote.[emoji15] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that separately Nelms was in communication with SPFL officials, including Doncaster and Lawwell, between 3 and 6pm. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out what happened. Dundee were bullied or incentivised in those conversations into withdrawing their No vote, that wasn’t communicated quickly enough to Drysdale, who’d already sent it, and the SPFL senior hierarchy (possibly with Nelms’ agreement) cooked up a plan to pretend the original email never arrived. This was probably done very clumsily, meaning Drysdale was dropped in it and is now the fall-guy. ...or Nelms has his poker face on and we see his proposal on the table following FIFA and UEFA issuing their proposal in a couple of weeks?

The vote for chairman is between Rab and Jimmy. I vote for Rab but Jimmy wins. Jimmy is the elected representative of the members of the club, but that doesn't mean I can't hold him to account if I think he is not acting in the best interests of the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers_Lad Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 5 hours ago, Speroni*1 said: East Fife confirming they were one of the no voters: 'My board met twice via video conferences on Thursday and Friday to discuss and agree our stance. Although we have no issue with current league positions being declared final from a prize money perspective, the overwhelming consensus was that we could not vote in favour of a resolution that would see fellow clubs relegated without the full conclusion of the 36 game season. You will have seen that three League One & Two clubs voted against the resolution and I can confirm, to avoid any misinformation or speculation, that we were one of the three.' https://eastfifefc.info/latest-news/792-club-statement-spfl-resolution-covid-19 Missed out “oh aye and we,ll still have two full houses against Raith voting this way “ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) We're changing the game, whether it's for our benefit or not. Discussions are to be had with the SPFL regarding payment prior to leagues ending. I'm sure if this unlocks the cash we'll get the same amount praise as we have had criticisms over the last few days... https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/spfl-hold-crisis-talks-face-21855816?2 Edited April 12, 2020 by RossBFaeDundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lass gave the "single mum" with 3 kids routine. She wanted to take them to Disney land. Other guy seemed quite decent and gave her his word he wouldn't steal. He wanted to take his sick mum on one last holiday as she was very ill. Bitch stole the lot and he was left there half crying having to do the outro giving it the "it's the name of the game".
