Dundee United - Championship winners 2019/20

[Shedboy1971]

You would think the sky sports folk would maybe watch the sky news side once in a while to realise they cannae really play god here (for once).

I also see the 3 orange teams in cahoots and an ex dundee chairman putting his club at risk to spite us as well as current dfc chairman

This will all work out and god id love it if even closed door games could be played - but played safe. There are far more important things than football going on.

coercion and bullying? As far as I've seen the only mention of this has come from Sevco, but of course, they have they're own agenda.

Not much doubt that 'TV MONEY' is calling the shots.

And Terry, if you think SKY is concerned about the SPFL starting season 20/21 on time they must be more concerned about the EPL season starting on time.

The deal is 40 times more. Under the new deal the whole of the SPFL gets £30 million per season. EACH EPL club gets twice that to itself per season. That's if figures are to be believed, the leagues are very coy about naming prices tho estimates are usually quite reliable.

I guess that's all we're worth/guess that's what they're worth, cos everything has a price.

But however 'meagre' our bounty might appear it's still enough to dictate what happens.

At the end of the day, for every one spectator that attends football matches these days there will be one thousand watching from the comfort of their settee.

I was interested to hear that the money Forfar and the likes get is just over £3,000.
So their vote was more about clarity and sorting player contracts out for next season than any financial consideration.
ICT chairman, did he say, the money coming to them was £380,000.
So presumably Ayr's vote was about the money.

[Shedboy1971]

Read that too Jim. Wow we really dont give a **** about grass roots football in scotland. ICT and dundee have acted deliberately against one club (us) - given the individuals involved i suppose not a surprise. I would have some sympathy for them in some respects but not now. I would love to be SPFL boss now and say ok we will look to reconstruct league not relegate hearts or thistle as we feel thats unfair, no champions but will invite two teams up that supported our original notion. Champions elect United and Ayr. I propose thats fair

[LSArab]

wtf - they are playing with clubs futures. Are they enjoying being in spotlight? Cowardly actions to do this and then no answer phone lol. I remember getting dumped like this once when i was 14

Lol. The equivalent of the ICT chairman with his texts - they said they loved me but now they won’t answer the phone 💔

[LSArab]

I think Terry is right that the sky money is obviously dictating

To keep the deal spfl want the same format in place.

Danger for us is that some may prefer hearts in prem ahead of us.

The two options are this deal or the null and void and no promotion which I believe may now be supported by Sunday Mail - and which would be rangers wish

but please ignore our vote.

“ I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant”

[LSArab]

Can’t believe that 😂😂😂

At least they are potentially moving to voting yes - who knows. What are they holding out for?
