I believe England (EPL/EFL) are still planning promotion/relegation as well if leagues don't finish.

Lyon (for European qualification reasons), Amiens and Toulouse (for relegation) are continuing to fight it

Waasland Beverne did get relegated for being bottom in Belgium.

It’s a complete stitch up to suit Celtic that this season was ended early - nothing short of a disgrace. Jezza

Well, we've no chance of seeing Hearts play before October.

Fucking ridiculous - basically saying resumption of the Championship will be driven by clubs like Morton and fucking Alloa.

What's the chances of getting that postponed with legal action?

After Hamilton etc have been forced to take their players off furlough, obviously Monty Smug .

Over 7 weeks of training before the new season starts!! So ridiculous not to have games in July completing the 2019-20 season (including the Scottish Cup) before starting a new season.

Falkirk statement 

https://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/2020/05/28/p...g-to-play/


So it’s being suggested that Raith, promoted ahead of Falkirk likely can’t/won’t be able to play in the Championship whilst Falkirk, left languishing in League 1 are able and desperate to play! Additionally Partick demoted to the same league despite having a game in hand are also able and willing to play. Good chance both are in major trouble with no fixtures to fulfill.

What. A. Shambles.

When this all comes out in the wash it will be very clear the Scottish football authorities sacrificed numerous clubs so they could help Celtic and their affiliated clubs. Absolutely scandalous.

Hamilton are as old as Hearts, and their biggest attendance was coincidentally vs Hearts in 1937, almost 29k. Quite Good

Quote: Jambos fans’ groups are willing to cover the likely £500,000 cost of taking the SPFL to court.

Which idiot suggested £40k Heh

Hope there’s some fresh legal talent on the scene at the Faculty ready and willing to help Hearts fight this one. Quite Good

Wasnt mentioned.

Nothing much new apart from revealing that philanthropists are willing to donate multiple millions, with no strings attached, to help lower league teams. Budge used as the 'middle man' between them and the SPFL. The SPFL have refused to speak to them and asked Budge to 'write a paper'. Monty Ha

This cash is not dependent on Hearts remaining in the Premiership. Could have already been in the SPFL's bank account.
