Ric Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Is there any point in complaining or even outing the "six" when we don't actually know the proposal put forward. I can't believe that it was simply.. Reconstruction: [ ] Yes / [ ] No Edit: Richard Gordon has just said on air who the six are.

Had a proposal even been presented by the reconstruction group as of yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving scabby wee clubs like Partick some form of hope, only to rip it away the moment they walk through the door, is just beautiful. Steve Brown deserves a lot of praise for being a part of that.

I'm not sure we'd be knocking it back at this point tbh. There's every chance we would had come down to it but going by our chairman's statement we were quite open to the idea and were going to get some sort of a consensus from the club owners (ie: the fans) based on what was presented. The fact that it seems the "task force" didn't even get as far as presenting suggests we'd read the room pretty well in saying "a vote, if there is one". Quote "Although we will approach any discussions with an open mind and with a view on compromise, the club board wish to engage properly in terms of any proposed new structure as part of our own process. The board have already debated and agreed some core principles that we hope will form part of the SPFL’s task force, headed by two very capable individuals in Les Gray from Hamilton Academical and Ann Budge at Heart of Midlothian. We believe quick decisions can often be bad ones. ‘Something needs to be done‘ is not the best methodology to apply. We should be as imaginative as possible and look at a number of different options – not just the obvious ones and immediately box ourselves into a corner around one particular structure. Our hope is that the talks within the task force and a vote, if there is one, remain constructive. Any change should make the game in Scotland more attractive to all the stakeholders, principally the supporters. It has to make the game better in the long term for fans. It also needs to consider the various potential scenarios for restarting the game, their implications for member clubs and therefore how the league and game as a whole navigate it accordingly. The Well Society will shortly conduct their own consultation with members to help us shape our thoughts on what reconstruction should look like from the standpoint of our supporters as owners of our club." Link Ultimately I reckon we'd have landed on the "reconstruction isn't the priority at the moment" side of the fence but I'm not sure we'd have had a definite position one way or another as of yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Bit strange that Dave Cormack has pulled a John Nelms. He was saying this, 'We think that's the fair thing to do for everybody' on a 14 team league on the 18th April. Now he's the spokesman for the club's not wanting reconstruction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. There wasn't a superfluous apostrophe in your post - there were two (everybody' and club's).

AllyM Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 It is interesting that in addition to the 6 clubs listed, you could easily add Celtic, Rangers and Motherwell as already having a broadly similar perspective. It is rare to get so much consensus so quickly between the BIG CLUBS in Scotland. Budge should be given a lot of credit for that, in all fairness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
