Yep, it's astonishing that such an obvious question wasn't put to him. Perhaps as every club stands to lose a bit of prize money if it's split 14 ways, he was ok with two years of that loss but not five?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Either way, don't care as long as he sticks to it this time.

All this talk of reconstruction for months now, since the second the leagues were suspended and I still haven’t heard one single valid reason why a a 14 team league is an improvement on what we have now.

Seems like ND has all but secured a £2m windfall to be shared by all clubs, no strings attached.
I think the clubs will take that and ignore Budge’s pleading. The lower league clubs want permanent reconstruction or nothing.

The BBC can pontificate all it wants, but unless 11 clubs vote for it in the Prem it isnt happening full stop.
Aberdeen are against, Hibs, St Mirren, Hamilton, Ross County, Livi etc etc should all be against.
Who is for it in the Prem?

But what are the odds of 42 clubs all keep their mouths shut if there are provisions to accepting the money?
Maybe SPFL/Doncaster has said to JA/Hearts/Budge that he will "encourage the clubs to consider the reconstruction option but can't make any promises"
He then gets the £2m for the clubs, Heart/Budge can't complain (but oh they will) or sue because he's done all that he can to discuss the issues with the other member clubs but they took a vote and decided against it
Wishful thinking?

So tomorrow there’ll be no vote, feedback will be given saying that they’re not interested and Budge will get yet another to at this?

Have some faith in the football clubs, large and small, to scupper this latest desperate bid for self preservation 😉

The silence from all clubs this week is what is concerning me - I cannot see anything on the internet about Cormack's interview last night!?! Why is this not being reported.....
If Doncaster wants this, it'll happen. I am still confident Hibs will not be railroaded but can't say the same for the rest of clubs.
The one has changed significantly since the bribe money has been introduced.

Exactly, it really doesn’t matter.
The main point is that Aberdeen have found a way out of backing reconstruction.

Did Budge confirm Sky TV are happy with the proposals and would not try to re- negotiate the new media deal. ?

I reckon that, taking account of all the flak that Doncaster took over the vote to call the leagues, the threat of legal action by Budge and the need to keep Jambo Phil Anthropist sweet, he is bending over backwards to give all clubs a chance to express their views on the proposed restructuring. From what I’ve seen he’s not supporting it and he’s not rubbishing it. When, as I suspect, the restructuring gets rejected On Friday he’ll be able say that that has to be the end of the matter. Budge will be left in a situation where she hasn’t formally put her proposal as a resolution to the SPFL but the issue has fairly and exhaustively rejected by the clubs. She will then have nowhere to go with little likelihood of legal action being successful. Doncaster will then move quickly to issue draft fixtures and will move to get the promised cash from Anderson out to the clubs. Budge can go back to the Hertz fans and tell them “I done my best.” And we’ll all live happily ....... until Hibs lose their first game in the new season.

There is of course the part about stating the objections to see of they can be worked through but surely if several clubs state they are not interested in a 14 top league then that's it done. Clubs won't allow this to keep dragging on, Celtic are already calling for fixtures to be announced.

Today should be a day of optimism for Scottish football with all the good news yesterday regarding Sky finance and the streaming of games.We should be happy instead one club and one club only are spoiling it all by going on and one about reconstruction.Please before i lose the will to live will Scottish clubs just put this to bed and lets look forward.

“A move to a 14-10-10-10 system appears the most likely, as no club would find themselves in a worse position than they were when football was suspended on 13 March.“
Except Hibs who dropped a place and lost £130K yet again more poor reporting by the BBC.

Scottish football would need an independent inquiry if this complete U-turn was to succeed after the intervention of Anderson.
How do we know this was all above board? What has Doncaster received personally to get this through?
Maybe the philanthropist isn’t as squeaky clean as people thought he was.

Getting away for a second from the Hearts/Hibs argument - would you want a 14 team league?
(I mean regardless that it is the immorally bankrupt serial lying cheats that have been the ****tiest at playing football in Scotlands top league for a year and a half in spite of outspending all their competitors bar 2 that would be the ones to slink and slither away from the consequences of their own arrogance and ineptitude fuelled failings again)
14 team league sounds rubbish.
Some teams playing 36 some playing 40 - what a lot of nonesense. Have you to pay a season ticket for 40 and only get 36. Pay for 36 and get 4 free.
Splits after 26 games - so lots of teams into the meaningless games in February. European football off the agenda with 3 months of the season to go for clubs that fall into the bottom 8. Top 8 and bottom 6 - really! Won't be any point splashing cash in Jan window for 5 or 6 teams with nothing to chase.
Even if you were in relegation trouble you would have the decision to make whether or not to try and buy in Jan or save your funds to pay the avoid relegation fee instead.
If it goes to 14 teams it is a worse product - for 5 years. Season tickets for most fans of most clubs lose their appeal.
All for a league that everyone knows, fans, pundits, clubs and other nations looking in is corrupt to the point you can bribe in full public view.
Hopefully Hibs have enough principle and moral fibre not to accept the maroon pound bribe for the overall good of Scottish football as a whole.
