wavydavy Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 THE SPFL BOARD MET THIS EVENING TO CONSIDER THE RESPONSES TO THE RESOLUTION SENT TO CLUBS ON 8 APRIL. The SPFL Board met this evening to consider the responses to the resolution sent to clubs on 8 April. As at 5pm, the SPFL had received 39 responses, 85% of which have been in favour, as follows: Votes in favour Votes against Ladbrokes Premiership (nine supporting votes needed) 10 1 Ladbrokes Championship (eight supporting votes needed) 7 2 Ladbrokes League 1 & League 2 (15 supporting votes needed) 16 3 With three clubs yet to vote, the SPFL will issue further updates in due course. A spokesman said: “It is very important that clubs consider carefully the resolution and we are grateful to those clubs who have voted already. “With the Ladbrokes Premiership and Ladbrokes Leagues 1 & 2 divisions each having approved the resolution, we await the voting slip from the one Ladbrokes Championship club that has yet to vote. We will provide an update as soon as we are in a position to do so.” BACK TO NEWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busby1985 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Another tactic from the SPFL. I will bet my house on Hearts and Rangers having all ready cast their votes for no. More under handed tactics to try pressure the vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 1 hour ago, Malinga the Swinga said: 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. Hopefully we actually hold a grudge about it too.

jr ewing Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 1 hour ago, Enzo Chiefo said: Apart from anything, quite simply we need people to work and businesses to operate in order for us to be able to afford to fund the NHS. The affects on people's health, physically and mentally, may be as bad as those of the virus itself. There is also evidence that people may be dying because they are not presenting at hospitals, for non Covid issues, because of the spread of infections there. How long do you think they can justify cancelling people's cancer treatment and other planned procedures and operations? That's why it can only be a short term measure until the NHS gets over the initial peak then a phased return to normality will start imo. I do admire your optimism.
