Dundee United - Championship winners 2019/20

[psych]

From The Daily Record

It’s understood Nelms has come up with at least three different proposals of his own which he believes would be fairer and more cost effective than the SPFL plan.

One of them, however, recommends a freeze on promotion and relegation - a move which would see city rivals and runaway league leaders Dundee United blocked from promotion to the Premiership.

aye this was reported yesterday mate

For thoses next door, - theres not one of us who didnt want to see this season out and win it in a 'normal' manner. We all wanted that especially being stuck in this sh1te league for so long. Due to the current World wide pandemic thats not possible. If we start up again in June, allow for training so effectively July, theres absolutely nae f ucking danger teams can finish this current season and then start another. Sky etc will simply not let that happen

So, really the SFA should grow some balls and decide whats going on, it shouldnt be for the clubs to decide and 'hold the aces'.

It's either end season now or reconstruction. Simple as that.

Player contract situations make this too complex. For instance, Alan Forrest has signed for Livi on a pre-contract and will join them in June.

Why can our governing body take more decisive action? How come “it has emerged” that clubs have 28 days according to league rules. When were those rules drawn up and given the circumstances who gives a **ck what the rules say. Nobody could have predicted this horrendous situation when they were written.

Surely our mob could have declared that rule doesn’t apply here....

Idiotic!

I don’t like Sutton but he’s hit the nail firmly on the head here

exactly, so if the league gets extended what happens to this guys move? Does he remain at Ayr to help in playoffs or does he go to Livi? Is he eligible for Livi? Shambles.

Need to end the season now, one way or another

According to daily record today nelms had intented to vote no but bottled it at last minute.

Embarrasing - not just that they want to vote no but they have so clearly been self interested the whole time. Good parallel drawn with those who couldnt give a phuck as long as they are all right - thats dundee. Be funny if they just said ok those who havent voted and no votes are free to leave

It’s going to need a reconstruction proposal to get this over the line. 14 team Premier for one season allowing ICT up and with no relegations across the League will guarantee a result. Partick and ICT would vote for that defo. SPFL for gawd’s sake, get it done so we can move on from this please. For the avoidance of doubt, we all would want the remaining games played, but THAT AINT GOING TO HAPPEN. So we need some sort of conclusion. Ok we can maybe argue about the relegations ( not with Hearts though - frankly I think they deserve it) but equally if we are saying we can’t have relegations then we can’t also have no promotions either. If you’re a believer in this much vaunted phrase of ‘sporting integrity’ that much is true.
