The board still have questions to answer At the end of the day, the only question that needs answered is: qui bono? And no matter they'll turn it and warp it, the only one team that benefitted from all of this is Celtic FC. Neatly spun plot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL got called early because Lawwell told his lackey Doncaster to do so. It’s that simple. Meanwhile we await to see whether hearts (& others) are prepared to take legal action to prevent their ridiculous relegation. Hopefully they will. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amusing to think that the yahoos won a title in an office and they might win a treble in an empty stadium (I hate them winning anything but really can't see any of the other remaining teams beating them at Hampden). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be certain if Separate Entity FC were out of the Scottish Cup it would not be getting finished!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) The league "had to be called" as there was no way games could have been played. And sure not before empty stands. For some reason, cup games are seemingly a different sort of game. Monday was Championee-Day, then Thursday Doncaster and Co. called on SNP-Nic that football must restart in August, no problems regarding empty stands. Hm. Yesterday, Dunfermline Athletic, sadly, had to tell everyone that they will not renew the contracts of players who are out of contract this summer. Just 17. One would assume that many teams will follow suit. Tell me, how exactly did the paying out of SPFL money help clubs like Dunfermline? How exactly did ending the season help clubs like Dunfermline? By the looks of it, even if clubs can afford playing games in front of empty stands, they probably have no players playing for them because they cannot afford the wages.
