Journalist’s ridiculous conspiracy theory about SPFL vote

The SPFL vote looking to bring an end to the season of Scotland’s lower leagues so that prize money could be paid out has caused a lot of controversy.

The Scottish media have shown their true colours over the last few days by completely siding with the Rangers over the SPFL voting controversy. The fact that the majority of the clubs voted in favour of the lower leagues being has conveniently been pushed aside in order to focus on the single vote that failed to register in time and led to the vote being cancelled.

Dundee held the all-important vote in their hands with only another ‘yes’ required for the motion to pass. But their vote got held up somehow before they decided to cancel their vote altogether. In fact their direction to deem their vote irrelevant reached the SPFL faster than their actual vote.

And Tom English has raised questions regarding the situation, hinting that the vote had actually reached the SPFL. The BBC Scotland writer tweeted out:

Now Dundee were thought to be siding with the likes of Rangers and Hearts which means that they were expected to vote against the motion. And it is not hard to work out why that is the case either. But the fact that they got it cancelled means that they could have had a change in heart. So whatever their vote had been, it would not have mattered in the end.

Yet the Scottish media seems intent on investigating the reason behind why their original vote had not reached the SPFL in time. Most probably it was a technical error on the part of either the SPFL or Dundee. And while that certainly is a matter of discussion, it is not the primary issue at this point. The main focus should be on how clubs can stay afloat in these testing times.

Unfortunately, some clubs seem more concerned with getting the season cancelled so that they can cover up their failures on the pitch.
