Voice of Reason Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Gretna 2008 and Edinburgh University are now detached from the rest of the league. Should the SLFL invest some of the funds they have received from the 'B' teams to give a parachute payment to both clubs to resign? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekok Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Sorry we are not reading this in the same universe. A Uni fan suggesting they should resign , hmm dont think so. Have you actually thought about what the original post said ? Still waiting to hear your opinion on the basic idea that two long standing founding members of the Lowland League should voluntary resign , mid season, why ? Of course you wouldn't know anything about being longstanding in the Lowland League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on you Thank you for your opinion. There are lots of posts about the need to enhance promotion and relegation but no suggestions about how we can make this happen. My suggestion has weaknesses but at least in the case of promotion and relegation from the SPFL the "parachute payment" helped bring change. Please be assured that by inviting a discussion I was not being disrespectful. Look forward to other suggestions for positive change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please be assured that by inviting a discussion I was not being disrespectful. Look forward to other suggestions for positive change. If you take voluntary relegation when you haven't actually been relegated, it is effectively resigning. In Edinburgh Uni's case, that would mean applying to join the EoS at Third Division level. For Gretna it would probably be easier as the SoS is only one division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 When I opened this thread I assumed the question would be:- "Have the clubs who were relegated from SPFL League 2 used their parachute money wisely" ...........but the opening post wrong footed me completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it make a difference if any 'parachute payments' also involved the receiving league(s)? Edited January 27 by Voice of Reason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekok Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 OK so get a West Team , with a licence to win the league and then the Playoffs, or wheesht. All there in front of them, ask Kelty, Bonnyrigg , Linlithgow, Tranent, Bo'ness . A wee geographical clue perhaps? The sense of entitlement and disparaging comments are embarrassing.

To B or not B Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 It’s Scottish football, the parachutes would probably fail to open. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Gretna and Edinburgh Uni could stay up this season if, for example, EK are promoted and Elgin or Forfar are relegated so batshit crazy scenarios could already happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
