The SPFL are close to agreeing a £2.3 million compensation deal with BT because the league finished early.
Reports were previously suggesting that SPFL might get SLY down to £1.5 million compensation to be paid over 5 years.
The overall compensation bill might only be a combined £3.8 million.
So much for the panty wetters £10 million dossier claims.

Both BT and Sky make a feckin fortune and could write off any compensation claims due to the circumstances.

It might not be the 10 million but in Scottish terms 4million is a big fee especially if the clubs weren’t told about it. It’s still frustrating to see football resume all over Europe but in Scotland were still 5/ 6 weeks away had we been on epl timescale we could have completed season and stop a lot of this nonsense currently going on.

Imagine the figures if null and void was agreed. It would have ended the Spfl.

It was obvious the SPFL would need to compensate the TV companies.
It didn’t take a drummed up dossier to inform us,
You have to pay for a service.

Jim 1972. There is no way we could have finished the season. Teams in Scotland could not afford to test the players the way they do in England.
The English Premiership and Championship are the only 2 leagues who can afford to do this all the other leagues in England have done the same as us in Scotland and put an end to this season.
The lower leagues in England were able to follow the EPL timetable but that doesn't give clubs money they don't have.

The testing, safety officers and all the other precautions, would have bankrupted several clubs already struggling to survive.
We don't have sugar-daddy billionaire owners, or SLY bankrolling us like the top tiers in England. We are the quintessential poor relations in football and without Celtic we would be obsolete.
