Post the article please
Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell has written to all 10 Championship clubs asking if they want to continue playing or suspend their league.
Maxwell has asked for replies no later than close of business on Monday.
In an email sent on Friday evening, he mentions that one Championship club has already publicly called for a suspension of all football.
Maxwell did not name the club in question and there is confusion over who he is referring to.
Raith v Inverness postponed due to Covid outbreakCovid tests no threat to season - Neilson
All Scottish football below the top two tiers has been suspended for a minimum of three weeks due to a surge in Covid-19 cases.
Championship clubs have been allowed to continue their truncated 27-game season, which began in mid-October, on the condition that they test players and staff weekly for Covid-19.
Maxwell wrote: "One SPFL championship club has publicly taken the position that all football should be suspended.
"The Scottish FA would like to understand the position of your club... please confirm if you are content to continue under the current exemption or whether your club considers that the Championship should be suspended."
BBC Scotland has contacted the Scottish FA for comment.

Very unsettling.
They’d need to be fucking insane to agree and Maxwell is a tit
If Hearts don’t lawyer up and finally start threatening to seek financial reparations then they’d be aswell chucking it.
I predict it’s Alloa

My money is on Dundee 'putting their foot on the ball' and calling for all football to be suspended

I'm willing to bet it's a club out of form, or with a couple players missing.

I’m not so sure . Obviously hearts won’t agree but I bet most of the clubs can’t afford the testing costs. The real question is who is withholding the government money . The government or the football authorities

If this is true ! Brace yourself this going to get bumpy ! This is Liewell and pedo fc’s plan all along go to Dubai and create such a cluster Fck that they can apply pressure to all this rats in every other club to stop us! Because in their vile worlds EBT’s are worse than child sexual abuse ! Utter scum the lot of them.
Spew Keevins named Inverness as the club who wanted to stop playing

Surely the part time clubs that got £500,000 have enough to afford the testing required to play the games??
How many part time clubs are in the Championship? Alloa and Arbroath would be 2 definites for me.

It would need to be the instant end of him if that's the case. Also, I am assuming these clubs have all the money in the world to keep going? As they are getting %^*& all from the SPFL.
Rangers should also be getting lawyered up for what is coming. Added to the fact that I think Sky Sports should surely be ready to go in taking them to the cleaners Rangers should be also.

Championship players get tested on a regular basis. Anyone voting to suspend the league should do in the knowledge they are forfeiting all future prize money from the 20-21 season.

RTV? Completed it mate!
Why is Maxwell, at the SFA, writing to SPFL clubs? Surely that would be in Doncaster’s domain.
In fact, why is the question even being asked?

The Gov had said it is okay to play, why the fuk are they trying to stop it.
Can we not merge all the negative threads together?

I hold on to the fact it'd bankrupt them. Not going to happen (SPL level).
Does make you laugh at the lengths they're going to though.

Wasn’t the handout from the Hearts benefactor supposed to help with these costs? Have they all blown it on other things?

This isn’t looking good at all, I think elite football in this shite country will be stopped within the next few weeks.
Hope I am wrong but I got a bad feeling about all this constant pressure from certain quarters to stop the season.

The team that have an outbreak, there is a shock.
They’ve been given 500k to cover it and Robbie Neilson estimated it will cost 40k

No but asking the championship clubs ( if he has ) is setting the marker for a N&V for our league and for that to happen would surely mean sky getting a large sum back ? Which the skint cabal couldn’t afford to do any way, Nothing will stop these rats trying though.
