They're standing together against giving the little clubs in the Highland and Lowland Leagues any chance of promotion. That's all this is about for them - self-preservation and nothing else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Some stones on Edinburgh City especially in light of their recent statement where they were opposed to the suspension of the pyramid system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I don’t get when people come on slagging clubs and club officials who are looking after their club or self preservation as they call it. It’s blatantly obvious why Hearts, Partick and Stranraer aren’t happy and why on earth would the Stirling Albions, Elgin’s, Stenhousemuirs etc want ambitious non league clubs coming into the league and bypassing them, it’s already happened with Peterhead, Annan, Edinburgh City and Cove etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should not be allowed to sit and continue to stink up the divisions with no chance of being relegated, and it’s their responsibility to make sure they’re actually good enough to avoid it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore it's entirely reasonable to call them out for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I’d imagine that would pass the Leagues 1+2 threshold as the only clubs you could see having a problem with it are Clyde, Peterhead and Forfar (I’d have assumed Cove as well but apparently not). I could see it passing the Premiership and Championship votes if it’s permanent. But if it’s just for a season or two before reverting to 12-10-10-10 there’s no chance. Alloa, Arboath, Queen of the South, Hamilton and others won’t be voting for leagues with with a huge number of relegation places. You could be looking at 4 Premiership teams going down and 6 Championship in one season depending how play-offs go. All it takes is an even mediocre season and you’re in the shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way the Premiership clubs will back this without a change to the financial distribution - the gap between 12th and 14th is too different for teams playing in the same league. And if the financial distribution does have to change, then that ramps up the votes required to 11-1 in the Premiership, not the 9-3 required for this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn’t even considered the difference in prize money. 12th in the chain gets double what 13th does. These reconstruction talks will just be a huge waste of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan57 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Neither were the Thistle and Stranraer players evidently. Certainly Thistle players haven’t been working hard enough for over 3 years, but that has nothing to do with his assertion that the SPFL were working hard for all clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I warned Sandy hiding under his bed absolutely shitting himself from this virus would have a damaging effect on him. Did he listen? Naw. Hopefully the Polis will when citizens of his village start reporting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
