buzzbomb1958 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Just looking at Hamilton's predicament where many of the smaller teams won't have funds to re negotiate players contracts ,so are letting players go before contracts run down ,(we might be the same , I don't know) this could make it impossible for teams to fullfil fixtures anyway ,I would imagine with the wages being spunked out of Ibroke they would be in shit as well,I don't think Scottish football will be the same going forward.....thoughts please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I think that's a factor of how clubs could need time to get ready for resumption of games. So first stage is we need the go ahead to start again. Then clubs need to build up squads again before 'pre-season'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour M Hersh Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Perhaps when the SPFL do the same as the main leagues down south it can be agreed that contracts instead of expiring in May/June will automatically be extended until this season is concluded. Now, how teams might be able to py for this is anyones guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenor Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I really don’t think the remaining games will be played. I think the season will be forced to finish early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos_1874 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Couldn't the start of next season be delayed and we just play more midweek games so as to fulfill the full 20/21 fixture list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point the OP is trying to make is that contracts expire come May/June. Many squads will take a hit leaving some with barely any senior players.

Nookie Bear Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 If the league resumes in, say, August then there needs to be a blanket agreement that clubs can use their registered players for those games, regardless of where they were in 2019-20. It’s awkward but a whole lot less awkward than either asking teams to use depleted squads or extending dozens of player contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonshrew Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 For a thousand reasons, and this contract one being one of them, I honestly think the idea of finishing the current season is complete fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Genuinely no idea when football will start again, there is a very grim article on the BBC that suggests there is no exit strategy for a good while to come. Watch other countries like China, South Korea and then Italy in a month or so. We will be firing deeper into this during April rather than coming out of it, something our publics not getting into their head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the season gets extended then pre-contracts might well be null & void as they would be jumping ship mid season to potentially a rival.

OTT Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 On sporting integrity. By the time we do eventually get round to next season, the teams will all look radically different - We've already lost 1 player and will likely lose more, which is also true of smaller clubs with tighter cashflows. You cannot pick things up from where they left off. We could sign our way out of relegation whilst Accies (for arguments sake) have an absolute horror show, lose their best and can't afford to replace them. Ridiculous to try and soldier on. Call things now, no relegation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its bloody infuriating.on day 8 of lockdown here in rural Spain where the laws are being adhered to extremely well. Only necessary jpurneys to doctors, chemist or food shops. Only one person per car etc etc yet still 4000 more yesterday. Yet in the uk transport still rammed, bars still open (illegaly granted) public places crowded etc. Folk, this is real, ffs get it into your heads. For what its worth, being locked in does give a certain feeling of security. Im sure we'll peek soon. The uks peek im afraid is still a way of and could be worse. London in particular will suffer. Just hope they dont get to do the same as Madrid did and bomb burst to the counties. That was the catalyst gere5. Stay safe guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex member of the SaS Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Misleading and wrong information from the Gov at the start is the reason people are still ( were ) going out. The young thought it's just the flu and we get it and it will go away. The gov should have closed our borders as soon as it was declared a pandemic with quarantine for those returning from abroad. The lock down should have started two weeks ago, it's all too late now. As for the league, options are limited. Void the league leaving all teams in their present position and distribute the prize money equally between all teams. Ok this is rough on DDutd and the only other thing would be to increase the league when it does resume ,which will be next year at the earliest. There will be no football this year and you can take that to the bank ( only you can't as you are not allowed out! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
