CB Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 The man from Dundee, he say yes! Dundee have submitted a ‘yes’ vote to the SPFL’s proposals paving the way for Celtic, Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers to be crowned champions. Courier Sport understands the Dark Blues told Hampden chiefs of their decision this afternoon and are awaiting a response from league bosses. Should the SPFL board accept Dundee’s vote, the Championship, League One and League Two seasons will immediately be declared on a points per game basis. The Premiership will remain on hiatus, but could subsequently be called at the SPFL board’s discretion. More to follow. the courier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Killie are in that category. If we still owned the hotel and the debt that came along with it, we'd be the first under. Until they know exactly when it's safe to start and which teams are still gonna be financially solvent, I really don't see how reconstruction is possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No relegations, both Lowland League and Highland League champions up to make up League 2 shortfall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Why are they sending the season now when we have no idea how long this will go on for. Really does seem like jumping the gun. I don't think ending leagues that haven't been properly concluded is right. Should either finish whenever possible or make the season void -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCM Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 According to BBC, Hearts and Hamilton are to lead the taskforce for league reconstruction, call me a cynic, but if that is the case there is no relegation this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should either finish whenever possible or make the season void The guidance they got from the government was that June 10 was the absolute earliest date and current comparisons with other countries etc show even then to be extremely unlikely. Plus the consensus seems to be that the players will need a short pre season. I think calling it now is right, although they've made an arse of the process. A 'clean' start to next season would be preferable, but I think that's likely behind closed doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 With that decision now confirmed, even after the bizarre way it was handled..will probably be only a matter of time now till the decision re top league is finalised . Even with Hertz trying everything just cannot see a rushed new league set up getting the required votes from clubs so ATM looks like one up one down. Be sad to lose out on those victory away days at tynecastle ..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don’t know why they couldn’t have finished off the leagues in a few weeks when restrictions were lifted, scrapped the League Cup and then started the new season a bit later. if I was a thistle or Falkirk fan I would be fuming.

The obvious argument they have as far as I’m concerned is that as the required number of games weren’t played then the season cannot be finished and issues like promotion and relegation decided. I don’t believe there is anything in the rules for that so the season should be voided. i also can’t believe they put something on the table which was basically it’s ok for you three diddy leagues but we probably wont be doing that in the premier. Its also a shame for teams like Dundee Utd, Raith etc as well as it’s not the nicest way to win a championship - same for Liverpool if they go down that road in England. Have any other countries done what we have done.? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any other countries done what we have done.? None of that explains why Dundee were allowed to vote twice - which is what's happened in a clearly unequal process. I agree it should all be settled in one foul swoop, but TV deals, revenue count for a lot. In England ,Lee Johnson had said way they'd approach games was Bristol staying in hotels, quarantined for 6 weeks to finish season. Possible in EPL/EFL/SPL but not in lower Scottish divisions. FA already ended the semi pro ,PT national leagues. I accept Scots Championship should have been (on paper) left to run like SPL, but I really don't see difference in PT national leagues in England (already called by FA) and League 1 or 2 up here, given players have 'day jobs' and non football 'bosses/commitments' to contend with.

They voted no, then cooked up a story about not receiving the no vote, even though there’s picture evidence. Now saying if you vote no you can change your vote but if you vote yes you cannot. the whole thing stinks and is pathetic. im also not at all comfortable knowing we voted for this and essentially relegated a team who were two points behind the team above them with one game in hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years Rangers and Celtic have done that and we've never let them off with it. Our league comes off totally mickey mouse through this.
