    They don't know what they're doing

    A plan? No thanks we'll have a fall out later...

    The SPFL consultation....

    Club responses included the following:

    - 20 clubs agreed that they would be content to give the SPFL Board at this stage in the season power to curtail the season (on a points per game basis) if a particular threshold of matches had been played by the date of curtailment;

    - 17 clubs agreed that they would be content to give the SPFL Board the power now to void the season if an insufficient number of matches had been played by the date of curtailment;

    - 12 clubs were in favour of the SPFL Board being granted broad powers to manage further Covid-19 related disruption to the season. A number of other clubs were undecided on the issue, with some suggesting that they may reconsider later in the season;

    - only four clubs were in favour of the SPFL Board being given the power to impose a 3-0 defeat on any club not fulfilling a fixture. A number of clubs expressed the view that the existing system, which gives the Board power to allow or refuse individual League Match postponements and to investigate the circumstances, which may result in disciplinary proceedings being commenced, allows “due process” to be followed before any sanction is imposed;

    - a wide range of views were expressed as to how many fixtures should be completed for a valid season to be deemed to have been completed, in the event of early curtailment; and

    - 19 clubs felt that it was “too early to take decisions now” and that decisions on any Covid-19 related disruption should be considered later in the season.

    I take it that means Killie and St.Mirren get off free.

    Seem like clubs are free to leverage C-19 isolation with impunity.
    Even if a club legitimately lose 2 or 3 key players for a critical game that would present a significant disadvantage, the C-19 card may get played instead, gambling on a better situation down the road.
    Seems some might think Motherwell currently have 2 get out jail free cards banked for future use.
    Not that anyone would admit exercising such a ploy.
