So it simply needs to be behind closed doors or no football at all. I can't see the lower leagues having a market for closed doors so there is a lot of questions there. There is not a lot of tv games next season from Scottish Football so we have plenty to sell and there is definitely a market right now. Get all the deals done before anyone realises closed door football is dog shit Do you genuinely believe Scottish football can get a deal that means clubs have enough income from it that they are able to play at least half of the season in empty stadiums? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Aberdeen need and want to start as soon as possible to get ANY income from streaming/advertising/sponsorship. Surely looking at a £5m-£10m loss for season 2020/21 though yes so that relies on a lot of nice owners, shareholders, banks to help out. So from an Aberdeen perspective they want to do anything to get closer to the £5m and further away from the £10m. Do we have opponents - well I hope so? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Well the likes of turkey, Czech Republic, Denmark , Poland, Austria to name but a few are all going to manage it and I doubt they have huge tv deals . Just because we are going to fail badly with no government support , there seems to be an assumption that other lesser leagues are all in the same boat they aren’t I can see UEFA getting involved in this shambles eventually and I do think our clubs could end up being excluded from European competition , if we have no plan of action, The only reason you "can see UEFA getting involved" is that you just run around this forum repeating your own nonsense without absorbing any information from any other source, including posters on here, the entire European media, and UEFA themselves.The SPFL have until 25th May to make a decision on how they are planning to handle the season. They don't mind how we do it as long as the European places are dished out based on sporting merit. Some countries have already finished their leagues early in exactly the same manner that we have, this includes France, one of the biggest and wealthiest leagues in Europe. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Do you genuinely believe Scottish football can get a deal that means clubs have enough income from it that they are able to play at least half of the season in empty stadiums?We can’t but I think we will have problems when we go back to UEFA later this month with no real plan apart from we would like to call the league for financial reasons as we cannot afford to restart. UEFA would probably accept that but they probably may struggle with no idea when leagues will restart as government haven’t said when we can play behind closed doors although we cant afford that either. I do think Bayer Leverkusen will be awarded a walkover against rangers okay they are going through anyway. What may be more significant is UEFA may not allow our clubs to play in europe and withdraw the competition licences for us because of the mess we are in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ribzanelli Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) I see Rangers want a ‘democracy not a dictatorship’.

Aberdeen will honour the contracts so we are stuck with our squad. I do think many teams in Scotland will bin the majority of their squad this month and only worry about pulling a team together when they have a competitive match imminently upon them. So yes I think a lot of teams will be weaker next season yes. I'm not sure what teams you think may suffer the most? I see it being Rangers and Celtic. No gate receipts from Euro/LC matches for the remainder of 2020 is a loss of more cash than the other 40 teams added together see in a whole season.
