They’d be relegated because of our COVID issues giving Accies a 3-0 win against us. Mental. They were in free fall last season and got to vote their way out of relegation, so swings and roundabouts, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been agitating for stepped increases through 1,000 to 2,000 then 4,000 fans into Pittodrie for early January... city just entered tier which sees all crowds banned even down south. Ross County, Inverness, Falkirk, QotS etc. would be better-placed to argue for more measured, moderate adjustments. Even then they'd likely not succeed but their argument wouldn't look ridiculous.

Is it just another SPFL attempt to pressure gov? They're wanting the gov to fast track the bailout. Although wouldn't be shocked if clubs are starting to run out of money now. Done well to string it out this long tbh!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, only the clubs will know for sure. I think it's fair to say though that when David Hopkin left the club to save wages then that's probably not a great sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Will be very interesting to see how these grants + loans get allocated, then reaction to it. Application scheme ('means test')? Lump sum based on tier regardless of costbase? % of turnover? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could've told you that. Its the, as you quote, "multiple Championship clubs can't afford to pay Decembers wages" bit, based on absolutely nothing bar his now mythical "sources" that I'm staggered you've believed. Literally every season for the past decade Jackson has claimed clubs are "on the brink", and every season Rangers fans, for some reason, go bollocks deep into believing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The projections you make about Rangers fans are very funny. Last week, you claimed Rangers fans were complaining about St Johnstone's price for their PPV on Twitter and it turned out to be one guy with about three followers. I cannot wait to see what you make up about us next. Neither you or I have any idea how much of this article is true, but with one club on the brink of catastrophe and no income coming in for the others it's not exactly beyond the realms of possibility. It's very possible that it's just the SPFL trying to force the Governments hand through the press, but either way it's worth discussing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't endless money to underwrite every club's debts. Every club will be allocated a sum, but not sure how far that cash will go. I'm thinking not very far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Keith's stock has fairly diminished since April/May when he was the toast of PnB for defending the SPFLs plans and sticking it to the Sevvies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
