Darryl Broadfoot nailed it really on Sportsound the other night, the governance structure was put in place by the clubs and the clubs need to change it to future proof the league against another situation like this. I get that there are wider general governance points to be looked at, but you'd imagine every league in Europe will be creating rules that explicitly state what happens when a season is unable to completed as soon as this is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision has 'effectively been taken', the matter is settled, the board just need to call the league season. If you think I had any partisan interest in that vote yesterday because Aberdeen supported it then you are wrong. We haven't won the league, it hasn't been called yet. We would prefer if it were finished on the pitch. I never said you had any partisan interest, I doubt you have little impact on how Aberdeen vote or operate at boardroom level.

Yes they will. In Scotland I would expect these rules to largely reflect what has happened, with the caveat that if less than x% games have been played at the point the league stops then the season will be voided instead. Any such rules will need to be agreed with the media companies who have transmission rights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and my criticism isn't that we were specifically ill prepared for this situation. But more that the governance is structured in such a way that we go absolutely nowhere when unforeseen situations do happen. My point was more that before you get to individuals on the board that people don't like, the entire way the clubs instruct the board to run the game is flawed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was plenty of ambiguity in hos entire post. Not surprised to see Aberdeen and their fans start to distance themselves from yesterday's vote. Yesterday's vote was about an inquiry, not about Celtic winning the league. Edited May 13, 2020 by Romeo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any enquiry in to the SPFL was granted then what would Rangers have pushed for next?

"Accept and understand implications of" = "distance" A fair number of us weren't behind the club's position on this. Along with most normal fanbases we don't feel the need to go all in with the club's party line on all issues on a tribalistic "us v them" basis. I do understand your position here, you made a c**t of reading so you're lashing out as a means of deflection. Sad really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 He implied yesterday's vote meant that Celtic had effectively won the league. Yesterday's vote was nothing to do with that.

The club have been very open on every matter since the outbreak caused the football to stop. Whether I'm in agreement or not I'm ok with them doing what they feel is right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Aberdeen get involved in a vote that was a sly way of stopping 9iar? Unless they knew that and decided to go ahead with it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
