Guest Ecosse83 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 What a bloody mess. Here's what I'd have done. Next season 14-10-10-10 for one season, 3 automatic relegation with no play offs for Prem/championship for that season, not ideal for Championship but no Hearts so more chance of finishing 1st anyway. Season after 12/12/10/10 permanently. Bring back play offs as they are just now but ditch the Betfred group games to balance out the extra games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s unlikely to happen but it’d be fucking hilarious if the ‘seaside’ leagues managed to get it sorted and were playing before the ‘big clubs’ in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan57 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Yes, but I'm thinking more about the massive disparity in prize money between the teams in 12th and 13th place. As teams 13 and 14 would now be in the Premiership the drop in prize monies shouldn't be so drastic to reflect the fact that they are in the Premiership.The drop from 12th to 13th is 2.25%. It would be fantastic if the clubs decided to make the distribution a bit more even. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghBlue Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Teams in promotion play off spots might have went to court or at least voiced displeasure as they would've had as much a chance of going up as teams in 2nd did, through the play offs.If the season had been declared null and void then by definition no one could argue that they were denied a promotion. Under null and void effectively the season never took place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Raith have got a brass neck calling themselves "Champions". They won f**k all. The competition was ended early and they went up on a vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the championship splits it's only 2, or are you suggesting a 44 game season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have given choices on both and asked for other proposals. When they tried to recommend their own preferred option some clubs cried bullying. A majority of clubs voted to end the season and have rejected reconstruction several times. What exactly do you expect them to do? Hes a Falkirk fan, they'll claim that any set up that promotes them is the right one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you disagree its because "SELF INTEREST", yet if you told them Hearts being punted would open up a Championship space, they'd then argue Falkirk are more deserving of that spot than Partick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to come out the tv money obviously just like the sky compensation . It's not spread evenly between all 42.A big hit for the top flight clubs but peanuts to league one and two.

How do you make that out? Firstly it's immaterial, they won't win. But if they did the cost would be proportionate. Your reasoning is back to front. Celtic could pay it all and still win the league with their remaining funds. Albion Rivers could go bust if they were £5k short in their allocation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never mentioned anything about the promotion the main point i was making was the lack of any leadership by the SPFL and mainly doncaster in this farce. The biggest contributing factor is the SPFL board is made up of member clubs. If they wanted any impartiality there cant be any ties to any one club i.e. hire folk external to the member clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Basically we have a game of chicken between SPFL and Hearts/Partick who do we reckon will bottle it first, dont see the SPFL taking any further action on Hearts and Partick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Board cant force anything through, so what "leadership" were you expecting? Handing power to "external" forces, with no emotional ties to clubs, is the most dangerous thing you could possibly do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
