How does that work then?
Your points divided by games played then times by what you should have played?

More on the story we brought you earlier, to end season (current standings final standings) it’ll take:
75% of prem clubs to vote in favour (9)
75% of champ clubs to vote in favour (8)
75 % of League 1 + 2 combined (15). Shoe-in, I’d say https://t.co/5p9ufjeNxmK
 
What happens with play-offs? Do they just get the managers to have it out on FM2020 for a couple of hours?

Could save a lot of money on player salaries and stadia and stuff in the future.

In fact fūck it, instead of the Olympics just have the countries face off on Daley Thompson's Decathlon for a couple of weeks.

For the Prem can’t see anyone outside of us and Hearts voting against.

Championship might be closer - Inverness are being denied a chance at promotion, as are a number of other teams in with a shot at the playoffs, and Partick are going down when they could win a game in hand and stay up. Will depend on how desperate they are for cash.

Games a bogey

Possibly teams that miss out on Europe?
Even if us and Hearts that should be enough to kybosh it.
If UEFA agree to this will they adopt the same rationale for games played in Europe?
Surely we must be in with a chance
 
Interestingly, it doesn't say how many votes are required to pass the recommendation. 50%, 75%, 100%, who knows?
SPFL clubs to vote on curtailment of Ladbrokes SPFL Season 2019/20
SPFL clubs are to vote on a resolution recommending the termination of the 2019/20 season in the Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League 1 and Ladbrokes League 2

SPFL clubs are to vote on a resolution recommending the termination of the 2019/20 season in the Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League 1 and Ladbrokes League 2, with final season placings determined by points per game in league matches played to date by each club.
The resolution also recommends that matches in the Ladbrokes Premiership remain postponed for the time being, to give the best possible opportunity for the remaining 2019/20 fixtures to be played.
However, if the SPFL Board determines that the remaining Premiership matches cannot be played, the Ladbrokes Premiership would also be terminated, with final season placings determined on the same basis.
The Cabinet Secretary for Health announced on 17 March that NHS Scotland had been put on an emergency footing for at least 12 weeks until 10 June. In addition, the Scottish Government also publicly advised that expectations are that restrictions could remain in place for at least 13 weeks.
That means the remaining fixtures in Ladbrokes League Season 2019/20 and the related play-off competitions cannot be scheduled without significantly damaging the SPFL’s ability to start and complete, on time, League Season 2020/21 and next Season’s Betfred Cup.
The SPFL has therefore today circulated a written resolution to its 42 Member Clubs recommending that SPFL clubs approve:
  • the immediate termination of Season 2019/20 for the Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2, without the remaining fixtures in the League being played;
  • all play-off competitions being cancelled; and
  • final season placings to be determined by the number of points per game earned by each club in the matches they have played. This would result in the following final divisional tables for Season 2019/20 in the Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2:
If approved, this would result in the promotion of Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, and the relegation of Partick Thistle and Stranraer.
If the resolution is approved, the SPFL has also committed to consulting with Clubs over the possibility of League restructuring ahead of Season 2020/21.
SPFL Chairman Murdoch MacLennan said: “These are extraordinarily difficult times for our entire country and, like every sports body worldwide, we have been wrestling with the enormous challenges caused by the outbreak.
“To their credit, every single club in the SPFL has been committed to completing the remaining fixtures for Season 2019/20, but they also all recognise we must prioritise the safety of players, officials and fans, and ensure our emergency services are given every possible assistance to focus on their vital work. Many football people have friends or family who are working with the emergency and health services or who have been affected by this awful virus and I have been struck by the strong sense of solidarity shown by everyone in our sport.
“The communication from the Scottish Government at least gives us a degree of clarity, meaning it will now be impossible to fulfil the remaining fixtures in the Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2 without causing huge financial damage and uncertainty for Clubs in those Divisions. We have recommended a way forward which we firmly believe enables the best possible outcome for Scottish football in these very demanding and unique circumstances.”
SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster added: “As a Board, we have consulted extensively with clubs in all four divisions since football was suspended on 13th March and have taken expert legal and commercial advice.
“Now is the right time to act. Very regrettably, we must face the reality that it’s simply not possible for the remaining Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2 fixtures to remain postponed without causing significant further financial harm to clubs in those divisions. Further, many of our clubs are experiencing very challenging organisational and financial circumstances.
“Everyone in our game and in the country generally, is wrestling with the devastating impact of Covid-19. They all know there are no easy answers or simple solutions, but the Board’s recommended proposal will give us a far greater degree of certainty, minimise the harm to the game overall, and enable us make end-of-season fee payments now to Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2 clubs.
“The position for the Ladbrokes Premiership remains particularly complicated. Everyone is aware of UEFA’s desire for the family of European football to work together to resolve the issues that confront us all. We are keen to work with UEFA and remain in discussion with them over the situation in Scotland.
“The quicker we reach a final position the better, but there is no doubt this is the most complicated and challenging situation our game has faced in living memory.”
 
They have obviously worked out who will vote for them.

75 percent sounds like a significant number but it's pretty arbitrary.

Why not 66 or 80? Or the old 11-1 majority?
 
I’m bolding this as its our line in the sand

It should be void

But if its average points per game then it must be taken at the season midpoint when everyone has played once home and away.

It is completely unfair and unsporting for a team to lose out to an opponent who has had different fixtures since half way.

We approve of void and propose the only fair way to do average points per game if thats the majority decision is in a fundamentally sound (legally) and sporting manner using halfway point as an equal split of fixtures.

As per Michael Beale
 
Teams being relegated and teams in the playoff positions must surely be in our corner of play to completion or else null and void
 
It's a Tainted title whatever happens nothing for a celebration and I would say if we were in top position but the difference is we have dignity and a class that lot will never have.
Poor innocent people have gone for it to be anything else but a number in a book.
anyone from the Darkside celebrating needs a good bloody look at themselves as I would imagine a good few would have supported the filth.
 
Under Beales view do we win the league? I thought we had only played St. Johnstone once but could be mistaken
 
Very interesting

Hearts will vote against but everyone else (apart from us) will vote for it.

This will have a massive impact on team like Partick who will be relegated and teams like Falkirk who are denied the opportunity for promotion

That sad. Zero sympathy for both Hearts and Falkirk, as their hatred for us has been well documented
