Tasavallan Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) I doubt it will be a League 1 or League 2 club as they do not pay their part-time players enough and can live off SPFL hand outs. I am going with the obvious choice of Dundee FC. Although I would love it to be Raith. Edited September 9, 2020 by Tasavallan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Calder Jambo Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I would look at who has not gone back to training yet and suggest that if they are still furloughing players then they are in the sh1t. Could be a few then i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 If several go bust then expect the SFA/SPFL to cancel the lower leagues and championship to 'preserve the continuity, integrity, or whatever of the competitions, thus ensuring that more go under. In fact you could expect them just to continue on that path until they finally nail us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I am too. I'm still waiting to hear the 50 in England that are going into admin / liquidation as predicted by the Huddersfield chairman. I know the seasons haven't really started anywhere other than Scottish Premier but I think clubs will muddle through. Unfortunately. I wanted a bloodbath north of the border.

ericb Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 It will be one of those who are totally reliant on the OF filling their stadium, so one of Hamilton, Killie or Motherwell for me. My money is on Hamilton, paying out for wages and testing with no real income, as I believe the other two are well run or have affluent people behind them.

I understand that some of us are annoyed at the behaviour of many club boards, but the boards are not the fans. I agree with this. As much as alot of the clubs have annoyed us, the fans don't deserve to lose their clubs. There'll be plenty auld yins who have stuck to following their team through the decades and have more morals than the board members of their clubs, do they deserve to lose their clubs and have the likes of us gloating at the prospect? Not for me. It all seems a bit classless. Should rise above it rather than become embittered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 None unless covid hits again and/or crowds can't return in any significant number. If covid ensures no fans or below somthing like 30% capacity I think rangers will struggle but will sell 1 or 2 to balance the books. Celtic won't be immune either, but will probably sell Eduaurd or the likes to keep afloat. No club imo is secure, but livi and Motherwell have bought themselves time by selling a player. Every team is in trouble, for a random punt I'd take utd, Dundee or St Johnstone to hit difficulties by January. St Johnstone. Who do I hope? - rangers and celtic.

Many of them took and continue to take great delight in our expulsion, an expulsion that might not even be resolved if the league is called early again. We are still n a perilous state because of their clubs, and those supporters are taking pleasure in that. So no, I disagree. I want them to go bust.

Paolo Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Possibly Killie or St J. They rely so heavily on the Bigot Brothers, they even have a history of moving their own season ticket holders. Even if crowds do come back in some shape or form, they will not get the same level of Bigot cash they will need, unless they have an excellent season.

Beast Boy Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Not sure why folk are getting so ‘leave Brittany alone’, about Hearts supporters taking pleasure in the clubs that shafted us running in to bother. So ****ing what if they get liquidated? Genuinely, so ****? They can easily just do what Rangers did by started afresh and pretending to be the same club. What’s the problem? If the problem is members of staff losing their jobs, then yeah, that would be sad, and I’d hope they get reemployed as soon as possible. Genuinely would feel sorry for anyone losing their job. It’s happening all over the place right now though, so it’d be no more or less sympathy than I feel for staff at a high street store in the same position. I’ve been made redundant twice in my life before. It wasn’t great, but I survived, and I moved on. Hopefully it’d be the same for the office staff etc at any club who goes tits up. Sympathy for the owners and directors of the clubs who did this to us though? Nah, they can **** off. They put staff at our club at risk by their actions, so I won’t shed a tear for them.

Last Laff Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) People need to get a sense of perspective and not gloat at others losing their livelihood in the current climate. Ridiculous, even as tribal as football is. As far as I’m aware money lost for us going down is being covered by a very generous benefactor that we should consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have that backing not want extreme discomfort for not only footballers and fans but local towns and cities that would effect. We go on about how players get our club, our unique history of sacrifice and how it’s the most special club in the world yet spout on and on about clubs rotting and dying and going bust and taking great delight. **** Dundee but, they can rot 👍👌 Edited September 9, 2020 by Last Laff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDJ87 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Could sit here all night listing clubs I want to see go bust and the reasons why but if it is who I think will most likely go to the wall first, I'd agree with St Johnstone. They have been circling the drain for a while now. Imo any club that has to sell 3 stands to the OF fans just to stay afloat, should not be anywhere near the top league.

hunts Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Won’t be popular but I don’t want to see any club in Scotland die. Obviously really pissed off at what happened in the summer but don’t wish the death of their club on any set of supporters or community. Got mates that support loads of different teams and wouldn’t wish losing the club they’ve supported all their lives on any of them just because their chairman/owner voted selfishly/talked shite about Hearts. To answer the question about what club is most likely to end up in trouble I would say possibly St Johnstone or Dundee could struggle.
