It's quite a big cabal actually, 50% of the top division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I'd like to state, despite me being against the way things have been done, I am still in favour of listening to complete heads gones from the likes of Leslie Deans on the radio. Almost makes it worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 3 minutes ago, Speroni*1 said: The group was put together by the SPFL to try and formulate the best plan for reconstruction. It should have allowed to have been proposed and then, if as was always likely, it was voted not to go with this by the whole SPFL then fair enough. To cull it the way they did last night just adds further fuel to the fire that this whole thing has been dealt with in a complete amateur matter. One would have thought that this vote would have been dealt with in the correct manner considering the way the last one was dealt with. For the top flight clubs to have a meeting and just kibosh it before all avenues had been explored before this process had been complete, rightfully creates more distrust and perfectly explains the raging statements from certain clubs. Propose what? Every time one clique would want to propose something, the others would refuse it on the off chance it went through. The "working group" was nothing more than a group of folk shouting demands at each other with nobody willing to back down. A total waste of time, but they all demanded it so the SPFL gave them a platform. It's the clubs fault this failed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the League 2 clubs making a statement of what they'd be against, you've nothing to back that up. Of course it is the clubs fault it failed - the clubs are the SPFL. And it's been dealt with terribly. Edited May 9, 2020 by Speroni*1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 P&B should put out a statement saying that this decision, whilst correct, should have not been made until the lockdown was over so we could witness certain posters getting their hopes up further before being dashed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's got a bit of Trump about her. She should get a Twitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Turns out the best part about us being 8th when the season "finished" is that we've been spared the embarrassment of our club producing tantrums like these. Something unforeseen happened. Yourselves and your peers decided how to handle it. Other than the problems that every club are experiencing, nothing's happened to you that wouldn't quite likely have happened anyway if the season had finished normally. Time to grow up and stop looking to The Rangers for inspiration on how to handle not getting your own way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 The only thing to improve this weekend would be if the SPFL had agreed to expand the league to 16 clubs but then said that Hearts were still relegated and that 5 clubs would come up from the Championship instead. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or extend it to 41 clubs and send Hearts down. Then re-split it back into 4 separate leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 At least the Clyde fans can stop trying to convince everyone that they were about to be relegated. They are, of course, but not 'til the end of next season, as God intended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparticus Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Pretty bad statement from Budge.Refusing to take blame for them finishing bottom.Trying to completely ignore that unignorable fact and point her umbrella at everyone else. Trying to use covid to escape relegation.Disgusting behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Anne Budge just won the statement league, so at least some good has come out of this scenario 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
