    Papers suggesting a 14 - team top league and 3 leagues of 10 - I have no idea what other plans Mrs Budge and her fellow committee members will come up with but I personally hope it something more radical than this basic same old, same old !

    Not totally sure that the relegated clubs were fairly treated in that there was a lot to play for so the outcome was certainly not guaranteed and they have justified grievances. Queens got out of jail as our form going into the suspension was abject at best and we must have been favorites to end up bottom of the Championship. Restructuring will address this injustice for some but we need to be more ambitious with the changes so that some excitement is injected into the lower divisions as playing one another four times in a season leads to stagnation and hence apathy from the wavering supporters. Larger leagues with more teams in them is the obvious way to go.

    Poor decision overall and a complete cop out.
    I applaud the Jags for there totally diplomatic statement. The season should have been played out to a sporting conclusion whenever.
    The monetary payout debate is a smokescreen. There is only a small balance to be paid out because chunks of the monies have already been distributed to clubs prior to the current Covid crisis. So much for the "Fair Play" banner on kits. No fair play here.
    And Hello, not for the first time, a convenient time to open up the debate on restructuring the league setup ably chaired by the 2 clubs facing relegation from the Premier League. Fancy that.
    Would it not make sense to wait out and see how many clubs go bust first before any restructuring takes place.
    There is no evidence at present to suggest when any future football season is likely to start and under what conditions.
    In the words of the famous Mastermind quizmaster, "I have started, so I will finish".

    That statement is a credit to Thistle, their supporters as well as the board showing consummate dignity in the circumstances. A lesson to other clubs.

    Wacqos, - waiting for clubs to go bust is akin to the 10 green bottles song.

    There will be many, many twists and turns before any sort of normality returns for all of us, and only then can a decision be made on how to resume our national game. None of us has a crystal ball, never mind a football, so we may have to endure this horrendous lockdown for some considerable time, perhaps until such times as a vaccine has been discovered and all 7.5 billion of us inoculated.
