Court action surely?

Is there such a disparity between broadcasting revenue as here?

There’s still a move I thought to fully restructure their leagues or has that been Kai boshed?

The report says they are still looking at that.

Probably the only way to avoid legal action I'd say. Similar issue to England but as you say the money is far smaller so probably easier to sort.

Lot's of interesting decisions being taken though which will be used to argue in other cases.

As they will in England, if Liverpool aren't awarded the EPL title, and Leeds and West Brom aren't promoted.

Celtic? Champions you say? I find that hard to believe

 

[AmexRuislip]

At least somebody has made a decision north of the border, not worried about upsetting the money fiends.
Paging PL & FA

Well done SPFL. Closing the season on average points per game is the next best thing to voiding the competition, though don't hold with relegation through it. Can't see Hearts' appeal getting far, frankly; it might bankrupt them though...............................

Interesting given Scottish Law will apply and the devolved Government haven't yet followed Johnson in relaxing measures, and its still a clear stay at home. Therefore assume the Scottish Government have yet to sanction the return of football even if behind closed doors.

As they will in England, if Liverpool aren't awarded the EPL title, and Leeds and West Brom aren't promoted.

And if any PL team is relegated without playing 38 games ( if not mathematically already down ).

I don’t know why that don’t just do a virtual league up there. So much easier.

 

[Grombleton]

Tbh they could cancel it every season and nobody would notice or care.

 

[The Wizard]

Might as well just do that at the start of every Scottish season really, saves everyone unnecessary effort and the poor people that actually pay to watch it.

Could always add a bit of class also

Would be interesting what case Liverpool would have?

I would have thought that the main angle in court would be loss of income. I would imagine it would be quite hard for Liverpool to prove a significant loss of income through them not winning the league.

But I am not a sports lawyer, so who knows.

Can you imagine anything worse than being a Celtic fan, celebrating every goal and win and league title and cup pick-up like it actually meant anything?

it means something and that is why they are a very well supported club. Amazed at the animosity on here.

We have the same problem in PL except we have 2 clubs ( maybe 3 with chelsea) but we just accept it and play for the highest place we can get to.

If and when the SKY money moves we will have the same problem in England and the quality of football will plummet,

Funnily enough Brighton might do better if the playing field was levelled a bit more.

I remember in the days of watching the results come in on the vidi-printer and the FTs for the Scottish games always came in 4-5 minutes before the English ones. I used to assume that that was coz the ref was getting a bit cold so couldn't be arsed to add anything on for stoppages as he knew that no-one would give a shit.

It's not really the same problem as the same 2 clubs winning it for the last 35 seasons, is it?
