You need 11-1 to carry do you not. Us and Rangers will vote against for a start.

It'll be the full SPFL that will vote will it not? Won't just be the top flight.

They've never considered voiding the season from the outset from what I've heard.
Celtic will get their title somehow and we'll get a 14 team league for at least a season.

There won't be enough voters for relegation, they'll need to restructure for a season at least. If UEFA are seriously talking about not allowing teams in who don't finish the season then that'll throw a spanner in the works.

Finishing the season now isn't necessarily bad news for us - very likely that they'll just do that, hand Celtic a Tainted Title and have no relegation. All good.
What are Aberdeen hibs and livi saying? Aberdeen more than others but it's tight for 3rd.
We know we're not playing out the rest of the season so they may as well take that of the table too. Does that mean Motherwell qualify for Europe being a point ahead of Aberdeen? Thats a massive difference in money, 200 grand difference in prize money then the money you get for the EL games.

Wouldnt the vote be about league reconstruction rather than Relegation? Im not sure many will vote for reconstruction tbh. Its been talked about before and most clubs were against it.

Does concluding the season early and awarding positions as they stand go against what UEFA were saying? I was under the impression they meant if a season was voided the teams wouldn't be allowed in next season, does that cover all scenarios where the full number of games aren't played or only the one where a league is deemed void?

All the things I'm reading is that UEFA want the full season completed.

Yeh I couldn't give two fucks what happens football wise, doubt many players care either,.

Wonder if they actually have a cut off date to end/void the 19-20 season or just determined to play it out whenever that is possible even if it's into the Autumn. Just seems totally unrealistic.

I mean logically it would make far more sense to complete the 2019/20 season and void next season rather than voiding a season that's 80% complete to make sure a season that's 0% complete runs as standard. Obviously from a selfish persective I'd rather we cancel this season but it seems counterintuitive.

It's a shite situation but once this is cleared up fitba is going to be a big thing for people trying to return back to a bit of normality and it's going to be pish if next season is put up in the air. The euros are next year now too so if we insist on playing this season out in full not sure how a full season can be played next.

Nah you're choosing whether to void this season or next season - either way one of them is voided and the other happens but with major disruption. Realistically you're not going to be able to do much about Europe next season even disregarding the fact that it'll be a minefield deciding who qualifies, because teams won't be able/willing to travel internationally by the time qualifiers would need to be played. Plus if you try to restart domestic leagues as normal at the end of summer, they'll likely all be delayed while all the legal repercussions of who plays in which league are worked out.

How does it make far more sense? Fuck an entire season in the ass, when clubs will be emerging from this mess desperate for revenue, in order to complete 20% of a season that's already history? Sounds disastrous to me. I don't know the legal scenarios around voiding the season etc, but it is insane to me that a contract could require full reimbursement of TV money after 30 games when they have already hoovered up the ad revenue etc. If they're worried about European places, you could hold a playoff tournament when football is ready to return with all the teams who were still in with a shot. Who knows, but surely there are ways around it that don't involve cancelling an entire season and screwing clubs out of a year of revenue to satisfy some perverse desire to finish a season that they can't possibly finish. Scott's right. No one should give a fuck about football right now and most people don't, not even Klopp the Fraud. The only people I've even seen talking about it like it matters in the real world are Celtic fans who are shiting it that their precious 9 is fucked. Sums it up

So funny how the Celtic fans will be trying to shove this tainted 9-10 in a row down everyone's throat when nobody gives a single fuck about and if this season doesn't end then it goes back to zero
