Dundee United - Championship winners 2019/20

[LSArab]

There’s no danger the Premiership will vote in something that will dilute TV/prize money as much as a 16 team top tier will do. I think a 14 team set up has a chance though and if I’m being honest stands out as by far and away the easiest and most sensible resolution to all this kerfuffle. Which likely means Doncaster will ignore it.

If they disturb the sky agreement for next season then allows sky to walk away.

Most sensible would be

SPL 14

Championship 10

League one north and south - 10 each.

United and ICT go up.

Falkirk and Raith go up

Non league champions both up

No one has to be relegated.

As said though there are stricter voting requirements for that as well as the sky problem

Does anyone actually think Partick or Hearts would have stayed up? Personally I don't.

Hearts no, as the other clubs were starting to get wins just when hearts thought they closed in, Hamilton and St Mirren were pulling away from them and in good form, imo St Mirren would have beat Hearts on paisley had the game gone ahead (postponed due to weather)

Partick I was 50/50, mainly due to how poor QOTS had been not recently, Alloa imo would have avoided bottom.

personally think the Fun having blundered into the situation they now find themselves in are now looking for a situation where they can spin a line making out they and they alone have done something great for Scottish Football

They probably want a top league of 14 or 16,a league of 14 means no United,Hearts or even ICT (bogey team)to worry about.A league of 16 means they get promoted by DEEfault again.Good luck with that though as it needs an 11/1 vote from the Premiership.

They are absolute chancers, under no circumstances should we agree to any 16 team league giveth their behaviour, as you say they were very fortunate to get an undeserved promotion in 2012 at the expense of Dunfermline

Diddy club trying to gain a bit of limelight for a change and instead of no one caring about them either way due to their lack of doing anything of more for decades they have a few extra who dislike them

Can't see a 16 Premier as that would require playing each other just one home and away. No way the majority of teams in the premier are going with that for instance St Johnstone changed the seating arrangement to give the OF 3 sides of the ground. Motherwell have already said no way they'd agree to a loss of OF money. Livi, Hamilton St Murren the same. Also sky want their guaranteed 4 OF derbies a year and its sky who are now calling the shots

A reconstruction needs.

1. Sky to approve, thus altering their £150M TV deal .
2. Celtic AND Rangers both to approve in an 11-1 vote. This never happens. Ever.

Good luck.

Agreed,for once the 11/1 voting rule has some merit.

No sure about you troops but i go to bed safe in the knowledge that the great pillar of our society Dundee Football Club have the interests of all of Scottish football at their heart and continue to work tirelessly to find a fair solution for all.

Doesn't require both to agree. I could see 11 of the teams accepting 14 for 1 season. The only one voting against would be Rangers as they basically want the season null and voided so Celtic don't have the title.

And if it was a one off 14 team season with a split after 26 games Sky would skills get their 4 OF games which is their biggest consideration.

It's likely they were going to vote yes and then shat it as thistles statement, hence the statement of nothingness
