Also 10 votes for in the Premiership? That would mean Hearts voted in favour of the resolution...
There was an abstention/non vote so we dont know. At least one of aberdeen/hearts voted for assuming we were the sole no voter.

Ha!
The decision has already been made irrespective of how the clubs vote
* Tainted
Or they abstained, which has the same effect as a no vote.

According to the spfl statement there's still 1 club left to vote in the championship and they need 1 more yes to pass? Unless I'm mistaken.

Because they are corrupt and are trying to change the narrative and sway teams that are 50/50.

So, 1 vote to come from each of the voting blocks. Doesn’t matter in the Premier League, doesn’t matter in League 1/2.
Only matters in the Championship, and if a club chooses not to vote then that should be up to them. The SPFL don’t have the necessary votes in favour (8) in the Championship so it’s f*cked. Surely.
Liewell busy sending brown envelopes up to Inverness as we speak. Despicable.

Surely that can be challenged in a court. Imagine Biden gets in after the votes are counted, and Trump suddenly asks the voters who didn’t vote by the deadline to quickly get their votes in as he’s 100 short of retaining his presidency???

and this is the crux of it - even if you don't relegate anyone how can you decide who gets "promoted" into the new leagues? The team in place X 1 point behind the team in place Y might miss out despite having a game in hand.
Its all bullshit and without null & voiding it there are going to be teams who miss out through no fault of their own.
For the THIRD time - they may have abstained which is the same as a no vote.
Only 11 clubs voted in the top league.

stinks to the high heavens this...why release the numbers if all haven’t voted yet?
Gives stinky Pete time to get on the phone to a championship club to reconsider.

Surely if the deadline is 5PM they needed 8 votes and only got 7 by 5PM, that's it done?So what's the legal position on accepting votes after the deadline?
Looks like there was an abstention.
Disappointed but not surprised in the top league.
They can't extend the deadline surely!

This is ridiculous and again corrupt. If there was a deadline to vote there was a deadline, end of. They didn’t vote.

Chances of a legal argument now they've 1) released the results before all votes are in & 2) are allowing votes after the 5pm deadline?

With three clubs yet to vote, the SPFL will issue further updates in due course.
A spokesman said: “It is very important that clubs consider carefully the resolution and we are grateful to those clubs who have voted already.
the sinister overtones in that sentence

What a fucking embarrassment Hearts are.

Scottish football has been thrown into further crisis after clubs dramatically FAILED to agree on a way forward amid the coronavirus shutdown.
The SPFL had proposed ending the season immediately in the Championship, League One and League Two.
Premiership clubs were also asked to transfer the power to call the season at a later date if football cannot restart.
That would likely have to be ratified by UEFA too, with the European governing body warning that it expects top flight leagues to be played to completion.
Clubs had until 5pm on Friday to either pass or reject the motion to end the season early, but on a day of high drama no agreement was reached.
The SPFL gave clubs two days to respond as an urgent request, but the rules state that they have 28 days to respond to any such request.
As a result three clubs simply refused to comply with the request, meaning that the proposals could not be passed.
That essentially forces another four weeks before any decision is made - but there are fears some already struggling clubs could go out of business by then.
One reason for ending the season early was to pay out prize money to clubs already hit hard by the shutdown.
But that now cannot happen after no decision was taken, and it's not clear what the way forward will be.

So did Hearts just see what way the wind was blowing and decide they were abstaining?

Makes no difference really. An abstention is the same as a no vote.
