A bit suspect of Dele to bring it up in this context - stinks a bit of what rangers do with Celtic. Before this (almost immediately) become ultra tedious point scoring stuff from either side, can I politely request that the issue is discussed in the relevant thread (Dundee United one) and that this one is left to discuss the topic at hand please?

Derry Alli Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 3 minutes ago, The DA said: In bad taste to bring it up in this context though. Mentioning there is a case coming against your club - whilst the discussion is about lawyers - is bad taste? It's not my problem that you don't know what's going on at your club and I've had to explain it out. If it has offended you, then I apologise. This is the last I'll be saying on the matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champions Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Instead of increasing the top flight by 2, how about they do away with the play offs and increase the automatic relegations to 2. Increase championship to 12, same format as SPL, and two automatic relegations. Could include a relegation play off in addition if you wish. L1 and L2 remain the same but with 2 automatic promotions and relegations. Kelty and Brora admitted to L2, again could include a play off. Losers in this would be hearts, and teams currently in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in Championship, L1 and L2, although a playoff didnt guarantee you promotion anyway, but there is a guaranteed increase in movement between leagues come the end of the following season and beyond, and retains the top flight status quo in terms of a tv deal. Just my thoughts, but increasing the movement of clubs between leagues increases the variety of opposition for fans each season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any proposal getting rid of them should be fired into the sun IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Pull My Strings said: That's not right. The time limit is specified in the Articles of Association; 28 days is the default position if the Articles are silent. Is it? Ok, fair enough, thanks for the correction. Pretty unusual for Articles to specifically cover time limits, esp if its only to say what the Act already does anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you not rather take an automatic promotion spot? I know I would. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if not, we'll just get the Weir estate to cover it. Don't know about the QC but the other guy, Ross Anderson, was a company law lecturer at Glasgow back when I did the LL.B. I always thought he was a Hibs fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
