league Title has been decided and that is that. (and correctly imo)
Hypothetically
Possibly finish the Scottish Cup? Not seen a decision on this
Did we decide on ending league too soon?
They said it was to allow the League to release payments.
Now, The SPFL including the governing board is agreed by the members. So, the rules have been drawn up and agreed to by the members.
This is an unprecedented situation so could the members not have released the funds by calling a meeting to amend the rules to allow the pay-out? We may have been able to play the remaining games behind closed doors.
Just a thought as to why they did not do that.
Anyway, mike mine a 10.

Football next season for our part time clubs looks bleak.
They have no players and a rebuilding process can take shape for the 2021/ 22 season.
We should be looking to save the full time clubs were it’s the players livelihoods.
Scottish football could run only 2 leagues next season.
Play a 14 club Premiership which would keep Hearts happy and also bring up ICT.
The Championship could run with 12 or 14 clubs. The top 3 clubs in that division are also full time clubs Raith Rovers, Falkirk and Airdrie.
In reality because of the testing, it might be only the Premiership that plays next season.

We've always known that Scotland was far too small to accommodate four leagues of 40+ teams and it's enormous credit to lower league chairmen, chief execs and investors; these teams survive at all.
Supporters have always been against amalgamation and take-over and defend vehemently their right to support 'their own team'.
I can only ever recall it happening once with Caledonian FC and Inverness Thistle in the 90's? forming ICT.
This crisis and indefinite uncertainty does look like the end for our wee teams unless finances are generated immediately, but with 'closed-doors' matches looking likely after such a long time without any other income; it does look ominous that we see more clubs go the way of Third Lanark, Gretna and Clydebank.
Maybe the SPFL can play the Sevco card and save them all?

If there's teams that aren't going to make it then surely the colts idea has to be revisited. I'm still unsure why it was deemed a bad idea previously.

{Ed007's Note - I always wondered that myself but I vaguely remember someone telling me one of the main reasons was it would create more Glasgow Derbies into the mix and all the hassles that goes with them.}

I’d like to see Stan Petrov take up where Damien Duff left, think he would be a great addition to the coaching staff.

Surely the Scottish cup can resume now that most leagues are starting up?

The league could've started back up too there was only 8/ 9 games and could've been completed in 3 weeks and just scrapped the winter break as the players have had plenty of rest time.
