You've worked harder than Doncaster. It even fits better with the structure below the league as well and would allow for both non league champions to be promoted without a playoff.

More on @talkSPORT now! This isn't aimed at you specifically but did the proposal not say that they would review the leagues after the 2 years? Looks like people haven't actually read the proposal and are reporting a negative slant as it's big bad Hearts making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkishcap Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 So we go to court and in the meantime clubs drop like fly`s and before the court action is over the spfl have to invite us back to make up the numbers....possible?

Francis Albert Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 7 minutes ago, Ethan Hunt said: I am well aware of what a QC is and what level of experience they require to have in dealing with extremely complex cases. So, as I said, I’d rather have legal opinion from a QC rather than a lawyer. Now, you evaded my question. In what way was the legal opinion of two QC’s, one junior and one senior, not very convincing? In context by lawyer I meant QC. I repeat a QC is a lawyer. I think only one of the authors was a QC but that is a detail. I have read many QCs opinions and it was that which led to my comment. It reads to me like a summary or extract so there may well be more to it e.g. in assessing alternative arguments which would normally be included. My basic point is that QCs are far from infallible and they tend to lean towards what their paying clients want to hear. In my experience.

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I worry that we’re in an echo chamber here and people are telling themselves what they want to hear: That Rangers’ dossier would be explosive (it wasn’t) That reconstruction might save us (it didn’t) That a second attempt at reconstruction might save us (it won’t) That we’ll land the whole league with a huge bill by winning in court (it could be us who pick up the tab). I’m still not convinced Ann will take this to court. I think she’ll see the ensuing mess as counter productive. Only my opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I would hold this proposal for a few weeks before a bit more clarity on whether clubs are willing to play to whatever plan to start the season. Certainly the Stenhousemuir Chairman on radio today said that is his preference that we don't know what league will look like. He also says he wants to wait to know how Premiership clubs will vote. They wasted time on it previously then Premiership clubs just ditched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 This was never going to get support lower down the leagues. I'd liked to have seen how the top flight would have voted if they didnt know it was already dead in the water. Clubs need to wake up to the fact that many cant afford behind closed door matches. Many wont play at all until fans can return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboross Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Just now, Riccarton3 said: Is this 6 teams relegated threat removed if the cubs vote to maintain 14 x 3? Yup. They are also completely ignoring the potential opportunity a temporary change to 3 leagues would give their clubs. Elgin finished 3rd in League Two, they would actually benefit from this by moving to just two promotions from the Premiership. With a bit of luck and ambition they, or any other club willing to make a go of it, say Edinburgh or Cove, could conceivably find themselves in the Premiership at the end of it. Instead we get the typical Scottish attitude of accentuating the negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not itself a form of reconstruction and if we needed a vote to end this season, would it not require a vote to delay or not play the next season. If the lower league sides want to play silly buggers, make them play from July in the BetFred Cup, followed by a full league season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
