[SMAXXA]

Daft question alert but assume nothing was said about the Scottish
Cup semis just void the competition if league is ended?

What fantasy solution does she have in mind that doesn’t disadvantage any club? Has she attempted to describe it?

Completing the season at any point in the foreseeable future is impossible and would delay the final round of payments, which would disadvantage clubs.

Voiding the season could lead to refund demands from sponsors and broadcasters, which would disadvantage clubs.

League reconstruction would likely mean reduced income for many clubs, could invalidate tv deals etc.

Finishing the season as it stands also disadvantages clubs, but only those who had realistic chances of improving their position, but all clubs will get their payouts.

So all told, finishing now probably disadvantages the fewest clubs? But hey, if Anne has her own bright idea that sorts it for everyone, Now’s the time to speak!

That’ll be a no from us then. One more in the top division and it’s not happening.

Aberdeen are supposed to be going no as well so guessing that will be that then.

[Del Boy]

Sorry yeah, evening news. Meant to post link

[Waxy]

Either call it now and hearts are down or wait and play all the games.
Thats the ONLY fair options.
Calling for reconstruction when they were certainties to go down is shocking.

[Ozyhibby]

She is ruling out null and void and is not in favour of reconstruction? What does that leave?

Wait and play the games in August or later.

Are premiership clubs voting this week? Thought it was just the others?

Ayr have said they’ll vote for it

Dundee you would assume will vote against it to try and keep united down (though I think they’ll go up regardless of this particular vote)

So ICT could be the casting vote. They’ll be peeved at no play off opportunity but are skint and desperate for money.

ICT need the guaranteed cash and will vote for this. Dundee are not in good financial place either.

Yeah all clubs voting this week. I’m assuming they just wanted the premiership clubs verdict so they could take it to UEFA at the end of the month.

Sounds pretty in favour of league reconstruction to me..

“These will be really testing times but really interesting times because I think it is going to change everything. Actually, probably, in some small way, everything in football had to change anyway.”

She talks of creative thinking earlier on.

Not liking that statement one bit.

Expanding the league lowers the value of the ST I bought considerably. Fewer Cat A games and potentially fewer games period- if we are still playing this season in September. Hearts also should not be allowed another window to try to spend out of this. On top of all that the fact that hearts 100% truly and utterly deserve to be relegated. Not happy with that statement at all.

[Tug Wilson]

Just saw the Stranraer chairman on the TV saying that you would not award the gold medal to Usain Bolt after 75m of the 100m final.

Crap analogy.

A league is not one single event.

It is a series of events.

A better comparison would be the Diamond League. If 75% of the races had been run and Bolt only lost 2 of them then I suspect there would be a good argument to call it under the current circumstances.

[we are hibs]

Hibs should be very very careful they do not turn hibs fans against the club.

Exactly what I was thinking. Rightly or wrongly this could have a disastrous impact on how some see the club leaders and undo a lot of good work. I’m not one of those btw as I will support what ever decision they believe is right for Hibs irrelevant of how I’d be pissed off at hearts benefiting. It does always carry the what if scenario if we were in their position what would they do. Saying that budge and LD seem fairly tight so maybe they would do the same.

They had the chance to save themselves and put on an abysmal display. After that game many Hertz fans admitted they deserved to be relegated. This false outrage they are now slavering is utterly pathetic and a mere diversion to hide how shocking they have been. Four wins in 30 games is relegation form at any time. Same goes for sevco moaning about Celtic winning the league. They were two points behind with a game in hand in January and are currently 13 behind with a game in hand. They know the league was gone and are using the same pathetic diversionary tactic. Utter joke.

Yup, that 'Must win' game for them that saw them really bust a gut and go for it ............................. with ONE shot on target !

[Lee Marvin]

If we do not vote to send hearts down, there is no way iam renewing my season ticket.

Call me pathetic, but I would be absolutely furious.

Edit. Should have read the article first. Dempster doesnt say she will vote against like has been reported. She in fact says the opposite. However, if she voted for reconstruction my original point stands. I'd be out.

Great post

[Del Boy]

Read over what Dempster has said again and it seems clear she’s trying to justify voting against the proposals. Disappointing and will IMO undo a lot of the good work done to bring the club and supporters closer together.

i think your on the wind up

[Heisenberg]

To be fair it seems like Dempster wants the games played if possible and would be prepared to wait until August or later to play them. She also understands other clubs simply won’t be able to afford to wait that long.

It’s going to be a mess. I don’t see enough clubs voting for reconstruction either.

I’ve just read it and I’d say she’s asking everyone to calm down and not void the season and not rush into any decisions, including league reconstruction.

She is absolutely 100% going to vote against.

It may be that over time and with considerable debate she/ we arrive at the same conclusion but for now it's a 'no' from hibs.

The worrying thing for me is that she seems open to league reconstruction. One, I dont want a larger league. Two I'm not having Hertz sneak out of this. That's the emotive way a football fan thinks. And I wont be alone in that by a long shot.
