What do you think you'd gain by another vote, or if the vote had gone differently last time? Has it?

Ludo*1 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Reckon we can just file Rangers dossier in the bin. Good for a day's worth of pointing sbr laughing at them and bizarrely, the Hearts fans that are showing their staunchness in support. If they wish to take it further, they can. There's really no case for the SPFL to answer if it went down the court route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see what Rangers have to gain here, they'll still get 2nd place prize money and their European slot, and Celtic's win that nobody doubted would happen will have a wee star by it.

ropy Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 52 minutes ago, St3vie said: What I don't understand is why people don't want simple questions answered I think it is patently obvious that the SPFL clearly favoured the option to end the league's at the earliest possible opportunity, to the point that the have acted like a political party campaigning for votes by giving "the voters" information that would sway them towards voting a particular way. Don't any of you even want to know exactly why the SPFL badly wanted the league's to be ended as soon as possible? I just don't get it...and before anyone pipes up about Celtic being awarded the title, I honestly couldn't give two flying fucks about that The Premiership has not been ended, is your query about the lower leagues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 1 minute ago, Pet Jeden said: They were sitting on £9m of the £25m prize money. If the clubs agreed - and every option required club agreement - 80% of the outstanding mines could have been advanced based on current positions (Leaving £1.8m to cover for any clubs in default at reconciliation) Christ, that line again. The vast majority of funds which could be "advanced" (i.e. an early payment of sums to which the clubs were contractually entitled) had already been paid. Anything beyond that would be dependent upon final league positions. I don't think anyone has publicly discussed the actual figures involved but it seems that sums which could be "advanced" are nominal. What has been said (by the talking heads on Sportsound, at least) is that you could "advance" based on current league positions and then recover in later seasons any outstanding debt if league positions change. That - of course - is not an advance but a loan and the obvious counter argument to that is that there will be clubs who go tits up and will default on that loan. None of this will be news to anyone actually involved in the process. That's before you get to the actual point which is there isn't any other viable option - the league will be called based on current positions. For the lower leagues that was done a few weeks ago; the top flight will follow suit in the next couple of weeks and all this shit about "ooh, you could have released a little bit and then held some back for when the games were played" completely ignores the fact that those games will never be played and never could have been played. And that £1.8M is money to which clubs are contractually entitled. It's not spare money. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if a club fell off a cliff and the SPFL held money back it's not in the clubs best interest now they can say they did everything they could. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
