GCM Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Definitely NO if only temporary, especially as it is only to save Hearts. Hearts on there own being allowed to compile a revamp of the league set up is just not on. At best it had to be an independant group. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAG Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 So 2 years down the line, we'd have 3 down or 5 down if they went to a 10 team top league ? We'd be involved (with about 3/4 of the SPL) in a massive relegation dog fight. No thanks. Inviting even more teams into the pro leagues, when almost everyone accepts Scotland has too many teams at present, is equally bonkers. Flip side of this is, should it be rejected , Hearts will sue - so I'd let them get on with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muza1962 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 14 team league for two years? Not for me! They wouldn't give a hoot about us if we had won 4 games this year. I wouldn't even be getting talked about if it was us, St J, St M etc. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 League does need to be changed, but this must be done for the correct reasons and for long term benefit ....IF this was say a proposal without the 2 year timeline it might work ..but it comes over as a rush temporary fix will help a few clubs but at a cost to many others... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonbon19 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Didn’t see this coming after she was put in charge of looking at reconstruction, it’s almost as if the SPFL didn’t want to make a tough decision and passed the buck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch14 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I'd go with that proposal. Isn't fair for teams to get relegated, stops Falkirk and Thistle getting marooned in a league that can't actually play. Bit of give and take with all that is going on seems fine to me. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Injustice of relegating a team that was at the bottom of the league and had been rubbish all season, where's the injustice in that ? See you in court Budgie, you won't win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCM Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 If they go with this, the richer city clubs will spend big in last season to avoid relegation, while clubs like Killie Hamilton, St Mirren will still be recovering from pandemic an will have a greater chance of going down. Stuff Hearts 12 teams and they go down or 14 permanent. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 The added issue with setting 2 Season time frame will mean there is going to be few years of upheaval ahead for most clubs, with COVID issues next season will be very different anyhow added to by this proposed new league set up, then the season after will be the one with a higher number of teams getting relegated to take it back to 12, and some of those teams facing relegation may then try to propose yet another new restructure to save themselves from a perceived unfairness ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdwatch1965 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 If it's not self preservation then yes let's go for a 14 team league Anne. Hearts still go down and Dundee come up to make the 14th team. As stated before do you really think if Hearts didnt finish bottom she would be looking for this. They were last for a reason, they must go down. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepies Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Not more talk on reconstruction .It has allready been knocked back and I doubt very much there would be any talk of it of it had been St Mirren or Hamilton or even us that were being relagted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudger Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 If temporary and we agree to this then we are putting ourselves at a serious disadvantage in two years time. No thanks, Permanent or not at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayslap KIllie Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 We should have finished the season when possible. Money should have been paid to match 12th place then the rest paid out when finished. Reconstruction needs to be permanent or not at all. Throw this plan out without delay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie billies pal Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I am totally falling out of love for the game in this country. If Hearts are allowed to get away with this then it’s almost as bad as the current political crass. You lot are diddy clubs, peasants, whereas we are from the capital and get 15000 season tickets sold every year, we don’t care what you all think of us, we will do what we want, the authorities? Oh that’s ok, we’ve got them in our pocket too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Her plan is fatally flawed in so many ways. With an already uncertain season ahead, she proposes some teams play 40 league games under the 6/8 split, despite struggling to fit 38 in quite often - and Euro 20(21) happening next summer. If lower league teams can’t play due to lack of crowd income, then ok, we’ll let them mothball and just amend the numbers when that happens. a simple majority can vote for no relegation next season if the pandemic means we can’t finish the season with all fixtures played. Seriously, she’s saying it’s ok to vote in relegation next season due to pandemic, but not this one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmck18 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I think everyone would like to see the leagues reconstructed, the its the only country in the world where you can play the same team 8 times a year, but if there is going to be reconstruction it has to be permanent, and get budge as far away from it as possible she’s only driving it because it’s hearts if it wasn’t she would be sitting in the house given all our ears peace. if the spfl/sfa are interested in it then they need to spear head it and listen to public opinion and put together what the majority of us want to see 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theauldyin Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Budge has put her own club in this position, her failure to is rid of a clown of a manager sooner, now to try and save her skin and her own bad decisions she comes up with this AGAIN !! Some of these Jambo fans on the Terrace think they some sort of entitlement. Permanent reconstruction and Hearts going down or forget it ! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
