DETTY29 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Just now, Carl Fredrickson said: Why are the Championships clubs being asked if they want to continue when L1 &L2 clubs had no say? I hope 9 clubs tell them to ram it but history suggests that we will get screwed again. The league has one clear favourite who is sitting top of table. The rest aren't playing for anything. About half not wanting to be bottom or play off place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonJambo1985 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 If you can’t afford to support yourself then you should not be a professional team. I can only see a null and void and no promotion/relegation. Shafted yet again. Question is, could this be the straw?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sanchez Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Some will want us out of the league for next season and some will want any potential maroon pound next season. Wonder what the voting structure is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Take the number of planned weeks left and then add the weeks since the handout, divid £500k by that and ask for the balance back. Then see how keen they are to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Jambo Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Easy solution: Swap whichever Championship team doesn't want to play with Patrick. Although they are asking if we want to suspend the league, it doesn't say it is a vote. Given League 1 and 2 were stopped without a vote, there is presumably nothing to stop the SFA suspending the Championship without a vote based on a couple of clubs saying they don't want to play.

Lone Striker Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 12 minutes ago, The Treasurer said: Correct. If they are calling for all football to be suspended then why just ask the championship clubs Maybe this is just the precursor to suspending the Prem too ? Followed by complete cancellation due to time constraints. No titles, no relegation, no promotion. I'd guess there's a majority in both leagues who would go for this - utter bar stewards. Next question would be - is there a proper appetite for reconstruction in time for 21/22 season ? Will a Champ club actually admit to having requested a total suspension ? Alloa would seem the likely suspect - but will we ever get to know ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 If this is all about finding out opinions as claimed then surely they go to this club and ask them direct firstly...was the intention to close all football or just the championship (or did they mean that was their opinion before the other leagues were suspended ?) If they say that is their opinion then have the courage of their convictions and tell us all Have a debate but if you shut the championship then there is no reason for the top league to continue either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. But i can see a number of clubs not surviving, or at least being unable to run as semi-pro.

DETTY29 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Takeaway from Sportsound and Monotone Tony. Clubs hadn't realised the Football JRG document on safety protocols 'trumped' general public guidance. What can we do if we turn up at a hotel and they have seats closer together than the JRG document? It's in the effing JRG document that you need to do a pre-review with the hotel to ensure it can comply with certain standards. They have got v.lucky.

Unnecessary to stop due to COVID as guidelines have been agreed and can be followed. Unnecessary to stop due to cost of tests as they’re about 10% of the grant. Clubs already committed to a shorter league and should be honouring this commitment. We really are such a joke when it comes to running the game, just appalling.
