I don’t think it’ll get past the lower leagues. Even the daily records own predictions says theyll come up short but for some reason they haven’t mentioned it. They need 15 votes from the bottom two divisions, they have 11 for and there’s 3 undeclared. 14 max.
I’m not puting much trust in the records judgement but based on those assumptions it will fail.
DUMBARTON - NO
Manager Jim Duffy: “I do not think this is the right time to make this decision. We are a month into the shutdown and we can wait another month before deciding this. We can play midweek to catch up.”
EAST FIFE - NO
Manager Darren Young: “If the final games in the Premiership can potentially be played then the games in the Champion- ship, League One and League Two can potentially be played.”
FALKIRK - NO
Chairman Gary Deans said: “We can’t vote for it in its current state. We thought we had a great chance to win the league. My question to the SPFL is, ‘Why are we reaching a decision so quickly, whilst we don’t have to reach a decision for the Premiership until later?”
MONTROSE - NO
A spokesman said: “We believe there would be an integrity issue if teams were relegated with a quarter of the season to go.”
STRANRAER - NO
Manager Stephen Farrell: “We are totally against it and believe forcing Stranraer into relegation is unfair. We are eight points behind Forfar with a game in hand and six of our final nine games at home. There has to be more work put in to come up with a Plan B as Plan A is unacceptable.”
AIRDRIEONIANS - UNDECIDED
Director of football Stuart Millar last night said: “We’ll make a final decision on Friday as we need to fully investigate this proposal while looking at what alternatives could be available.”
Votes needed: 8
Yes: 4
No: 5
Undeclared: 1
EDINBURGH CITY - NO
Boss James McDonaugh said: “I don’t think it is fair there are three different outcomes for teams at the bottom. Partick and Stranraer are set to be relegated whereas Hearts could play on and Brechin do not face a play-off. This does not feel right.”
QUEEN’S PARK - UNDECIDED
President Gerry Crawley said: “I would have preferred a robust discussion on reconstruction and the implementation of three leagues of 14 clubs before voting on this.”
STENHOUSEMUIR - UNDECIDED
Chief executive Jamie Swinney said: “We would like to see what other options are available before deciding finally.”
