The whole thing had become a circus thanks to Ann Budge not trying to hide the fact it was just a mission to save Hearts. No reconstruction talks should ever be based around trying to save a team. I was up for a 14 team league at first, my thinking being it could possibly be fairer than relegating teams who weren’t down yet. But as I say, reconstruction talks shouldn’t be based about trying to save teams. And while I feel the virus situation had thrown up a unique opportunity to take a step back and look at the options for improving the league structure, it’s been totally fucked by Budge being a cretin. A 14 team league is a terrible idea anyway - I hate the split so why would I want a bigger league that still has a split? The whole episode can get in the bin and Hearts can get down. What size (of league) do you want then? 3 x 14s seemed a fairly good idea. Edited May 9, 2020 by Jacksgranda sllepnig & grandma -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in 2 hours on Friday 6 teams ( maybe more ) blew all that away for there own good . My opinion the six teams will be Aberdeen Celtic Hibs Hamilton Motherwell St mirren or Dundee Utd A really sad day for scottish football Much more likely it was 11 clubs against reconstruction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what they do, you'd be as well asking a shark not to bite you. Done up like a kipper by the spfl. We all knew that their assurances their hollow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole episode can get in the bin and Hearts can get down.I'm in exactly the same boat as you@jamamafegan in supporting a much bigger league but it has been correctly binned currently.Aberdeen would be one of the six against it. Cormack has been relatively clear that our board are happy with the current format and were generally against reconstruction as heard on Sportsound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I hope Aberdeen voted no six times! You only ever fvck about with the rules and structure of the top flight, when it's an important club! That fvkkin yo-yo club in maroooooon can get doon and take their bunlite erse-licking, save our Hertz bucket shakin' fan base with them. Yours, the voice of reason aDONis 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Pub League Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Jake said: You're right. A true yo-yo club should have spent 50% of their time outside the top flight. Fun fact - Stranraer spent every season between 2002-03 and 2009-10 in a different league. They went, tier 3,4,3,2,3,4,3,4 (and then 4,4 to break the chain) during that time. That's proper yo-yo'ing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Ben Palmer in the Sport section of today's Times newspaper only 3 of the 12 were 'receptive to the idea' of reconstruction. Hearts obviously, plus Celtic and Motherwell.

Guessing the abstentions knew what way it was going so decided they would look better by abstaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 10 hours ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Aberdeen, St Johnstone, Ross County, Kilmarnock, St Mirren and Hibs Accies and Motherwell both on the board and probably open to discussion from what has been said by Gray and Burrows. Livi were most pro-reconstruction along with Hearts. I always feel like the OF don't give two fucks about reconstruction. As long as there are 4 OF games the rest of the league can do whatever they want. BB already stated if it was a temporary fix, it would be dismissed...... IMO, Any Director at any club needs their head looked at if they thought it was a good idea to support a temp fix with the prospect of 3 down at the end of the following season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
