Beast Boy Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 See if this gets voted down, I am looking forward to the reaction from Celtic and Hibs. I also hope that regardless of the result of the vote, everyone associated with HMFC wise up and start treating the arsehole clubs in this league with the same contempt that they display for us.

Dagger Is Back Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 To tie the vote in with the blatant waving of a cheque in the faces of clubs who are already down on their knees, sums up everything we already knew about the game in this country. This is the size of the pot available 1st Position £3.35 million 13.40% 2nd Position £2.4 million 9.60% 3rd Position £2.06 million 8.25% 4th Position £1.81 million 7.25% 5th Position £1.68 million 6.75% 6th Position £1.56 million 6.25% 7th Position £1.43 million 5.75% 8th Position £1.37 million 5.50% 9th Position £1.31 million 5.25% 10th Position £1.25 million 5.00% 11th Position £1.18 million 4.75% 12th Position £1.12 million 4.50% That's £20.5M. Even if the sponsors etc take back 20% of that, in terms of 20% of the season still to go, that leaves £16.4M. They could easily pay £900K as a minimum to every single club right now and still have spare to sort it out finally, without resorting to bully boy tactics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I posted this on the wrong thread I've seen posts from that twitter account previously and generally it does seem to be in the know. Let's assume for a moment that the timeline in the twitter thread is accurate. How does Neil Doncaster explain why the SPFL Board put out a statement that only referenced the email contact with Rod McKenzie and omitted to mention the contact made with himself (the SPFL's Chief Exec) and others in the SPFL management group. If the Rangers account of the timeline is correct, then it does demonstrate a level of misinformation and coercion in order to achieve the Board's aim. As ever when governing bodies attempt a cover up, the consequences of that can be just as serious.

It seems very odd and a little contrived given league one seems to be where most are against the proposal. Wouldn’t surprise me if they came up with the 3 tiered voting structure after they had canvassed opinion and knew league 1 was the biggest problem.

Malinga the Swinga Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Just a small point, but we will not be relegated, we will be expelled from the Scottish Premiership and be placed in the Scottish Championship, all due to a vote from other clubs in the league. Relegation occurs when you either finish bottom of the league after 38 games, or lose in the pay offs. Never forgive or forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stotty Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If this goes through, it is an utter scandal. I can't believe this might happen. Budge should be coming out like Rangers and not weak pish about accepting it. I don't think I can continue to support Scottish football if this goes through, we have a league blatantly bribing clubs to try and force through their suggestion. It is an absolute disgrace and we need to start calling it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaturalOrder74 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I'm not sure we should be at the acceptance stage yet, there's plenty more battles that could be fought and won here. This is absolute pish from the sfa, its interesting this vote has to happen BEFORE the uefa decision so they can blackmail clubs who are vulnerable and uncertainty can easily sway a decision one way or another, even if this doesn't pass I'm annoyed at the way its been conducted.

Talk about bullying! This is the same SPFL that agreed to give holyrood the details on the number of times sectarian singing was mentioned in delegate reports only on the condition that it remain confidential.
