So the SPFL has a little over 3 weeks to force league reconstruction to entice a yes vote from Inverness. I'd argue that if the league structure changes before the vote is in a whole a new vote is required

So, as per 2012, it seems they're making up the rules as they go along, Scottish football is corrupt as f**k.
Seriously thinking about whether l renew for next season, scunnered with the mentally challenged stranglehold within Scottish football, l mean what's the point?

Putting the results of voting in the public domain before the final vote is cast is rigging 101

Exactly, they need to pull this off the table and discuss some proper options. Back to the old make it up as we go stuff again, absolute clowns.

Breaking the rules and guidelines and ignoring and rewriting the rulebook as it see fits.
Blatant corruption.

It's disgusting behaviour. Absolutely shameful.

The next time there is a vote I assume we can request the current vote standing before making ours?

That’s a great point. The standings should never have been publicly released.
shows how much of a carve up it is from day dot.

As much as they will again try and bully other clubs we must try and empower clubs to think for themselves and be brave enough to stand firm or vote no .
Im not one for statements but we must follow up on the fact that they have tried to severly fu ck us and others over today

However they are opening themselves up to do many challenges legally here that it is unreal

Legally we could surely argue that releasing the results before the vote is over prejudiced the results.
Another own goal by dodgy Doncaster

Can anyone in laymen's terms tell me what the f*CK is going on?
My reading is ICT are bargaining with Celtic I mean the SFA I mean Celtic. Give us a 14 team premier league or we vote it down. deadlines are ignored. Sporting Integrity out the window.
LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You
For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.
The problem with reconstruction is if they expand I imagine it’ll be difficult for rangers v them games to be played 4 times I imagine . Which SFA categorically needs for financial purposes. Maybe I’m being silly
The deadline has not been ignored stop posting misinformation

we should have implemented these new rules during the Brexit vote everyone could have had there chance at winning.

Another idea is that it may be Partick have joined Hearts in not voting and ICT have already voted no?

As for the 14 team league.
In my opinion we should vote against that. It would still give them a tainted title and all it would do it cut prize money.
Don't see how that's the answer at all.

Only one option on the table which is placed like a gun to clubs heads. Give Celtc the title. This is the stuff of corrupt banana republics.
That's my reading, promises made to restructure to hearts and ICT
No worries - you said it was guaranteed.
It isn't.
It only needs one other team to vote against and you don't know that. Therefore it is not guaranteed.
I never asserted it was guaranteed NOT to happen.
Happy to help.

The SPFL proposed a plan to end the lower 3 leagues based on average points and give some time to discuss reconstruction of the leagues. That hands Celtic the title because the precedent would be set before the same plan would be voted on for the top flight league.
Rangers countered that with an alternative plan not to do that but to distribute prize money to allow clubs to keep operating in the interim period until it is clearer what will happen with Coronavirus, Social Restrictions and the plan to restart football across Europe.
The SPFL received our proposal but stalled on it, then decided there was legal errors which meant it could not be voted on, but discussed that with other clubs without consulting Rangers. The word got back to Stewart Robertson and James Blair who then queried that issue with the SPFL at 10:17pm last night but Rod McKenzie (SPFL lawyer) did not reply or clarify what needed done before today's SPFL board meeting.
Meantime the SPFL resolution was meant to be decided today because the clubs had been given the deadline of 5pm Friday to vote. The SPFL have then said that it is technically 28 days to vote and because some clubs have either abstained or not voted yet (1 in L1&L2, 1 in the Championship and 1 in the Premiership), they have not declared the vote results even though they published the results as of 5pm.
The SPFL have acted in the most corrupt, underhand and goalpost-moving way so far. They're making it up as they go along to force the issue of declaring Celtic as champions with reconstruction to save Hearts and promote Dundee United.
Right. Sky would have to approve any reconstruction. And the SPFL have already said that they must protect their fancy new tv deal at all costs, so reconstruction looks fraught with difficulty.

Inverness and Partick voted no.
it is Dundee who are outstanding and the SPFL will be currently bribing them as Dundee will realise they are in a very strong negotiating position.
SPFL are a disgrace announcing the position before the poll was finished

I wonder, and this is pure conjecture, if Hearts did not vote because by voting they would have given legitimacy to the procedure and would have compromised any legal route

If the vote to reconstruct the PL requires 11 votes in favour, we could be painted as the bad guy going against consensus, hamstringing lower league clubs from getting a payout and at the same time voting against a proposal ‘to improve the product’.
It stinks.
Interesting, reliable ?
Absolutely
