SteveC 150 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The latest two seem contradictory to me, but, for what it is worth: All other 11 clubs are still in SPL meeting, so talking still being done.

Frankie 8,514 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Looks like Utd have certainly abstained anyway if their rep has walked out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveC 150 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 STV say: Scottish Premier League clubs have failed to reach consensus over league reconstruction after their latest meeting at Hampden. The 12 top flight clubs had gathered at the national stadium to examine plans for change just two weeks after a package of proposals were rejected after failing to get the required votes. After a meeting that lasted several hours, the clubs did not make a decision on plans for next season, though a meeting is planned for early May in which playoffs will be considered. First Division clubs in particular have been keen on seeing a playoff system introduced that would potentially see an extra promotion place for SFL sides. The exact format of the playoffs is still open to discussion but is still thought to be a realistic possibility for introduction next season. Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor had said prior to the meeting that he felt there was a willingness from all clubs to accept change and to find a way to agree to developments to re-invigorate the leagues. “Time will tell,” MacGregor said.. ”I think we need to find something to excite the fans and if we couldn’t find it in the league reconstruction then time will tell. “I think the single league body, all the clubs are for that. Redistribution is a must, all the clubs are for that. “I think if there was something that would excite the fans and everyone could buy into then every club would be for it.” 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthter 542 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 “I think if there was something that would excite the fans” Rhegan & Dumbcasters resignations would do that.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 While we are at tweets and rumours ... some whispers tell of Hearts going into administration today or tomorrow. This will be interesting..... I was originally going to say they should do it before the end of the season as they would start next season on minus points - but with the "1/3 of the prior season's points deducted" if they went into admin prior to the end of the season they would lose 17 points and would struggle to stay up as that would leave them 6 points behind Dundee with just 3 games left. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,710 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah, but let's leave it at "whisper" level for the time being. They have been whispering it for months now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
