Dundee are absolutely favourites for it but not overwhelmingly so, and with the way the league has gone recently I certainly wouldn’t be betting on it. I will chuck football altogether if Falkirk get saved by this and end up legitimate title challengers. f**k that. I'm honestly not trying to come across like a condescending, arrogant w**k here, but you don't seem to know the difference between expectations and reality. To say anything other than Dundee will be massive favourites for the title in that division is ridiculous. We all know it doesn't play out based on expectation, however, and this league does tend to play out differently to the pre-season suggestions. It's much the same in that if Hearts are in the league (As is much more likely) then they'll be absolutely nailed on to win the league and it'd be embarrassing for them if they didn't, but there'll be at least fans of a few teams that'd fancy their chances particularly if the league is shortened.

Green Day Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 2 hours ago, DC92 said: It's a drop of 0.36 percentage points rather than 0.36%. i.e. the top team's prize money goes from 13.40% to 13.04%. Thanks, that makes much more sense than what I read !! So, in broad terms, the current 12 fund the £1m gap to uplift the prize pot for club 13 and club 14. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I do know the difference chief. What I’m trying to get across to you is Dundee have shown themselves nowhere near good enough to be considered overwhelming favourites, when they’re a point above Ayr and only a few clear of Arbroath. That’s the point. Yes you’ll have retained the bulk of that squad, but it isn’t particularly good, and doesn’t have a particularly good manager behind it - that is the issue. It’d be Sportsound level of punditry to make you “overwhelming” favourites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, under criteria that was laid out in the rules before the competition commenced. Falkirk spent money on players while every other side upgraded their stadium to the detriment of their playing squad. Right decision imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand your point, it's just I think it's nonsense as I've repeatedly pointed out. You're talking about something different to what I am IMO. There's no point continuing it as I'm watching the Ps5 reveal and we are arguing over something that can essentially be defined as, 'Two bald men arguing over a comb' here when it has nothing to do with the fact that Hearts will get put where they rightfully belong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even smaller things like suspensions have a bigger effect. Definitely, I wouldn't be backing any short favs.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesM82 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Record are saying that the vote is in trouble in the Championship. Only Hearts, ICT (obviously) and maybe Dundee expected to vote yes. Ross County also a no. Edited June 11, 2020 by JamesM82 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner-to-Saint Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 There seems to be some confusion on the voting requirements needed to implement changes. Am I correct that 11 of the 12 Premiership clubs needs to vote in favour? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) So going by this bit of the paper if the indicative vote doesn't show support they're finally drawing a line under this utter shitshow and sticking with the status quo? Friendly reminder of Ann Budge's comments on 10th April. Quote “We are where we are, in the league position. If we argue everything through and everything is talked about, and basically that is what the community of football clubs believe is right, I’m not going to fight it to the death. “How is that going to end? “So, if we have to deal with relegation, we’ll deal with relegation.” Link It's what the community of football clubs believe is right lads...
