Big Col Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 1 hour ago, jaf said: https://spfl.co.uk/news/reconstruction-group-announced Ayr United chairman has already publicly stated that he’s against reconstruction so why have him in the group? And now we know why our BoD backed down so quickly - if we didn’t, Ms Low wouldn’t get a seat at the table. So we’re still bowing down and dancing to the SPFL tune. Just a talking shop hastily assembled to deflect the attention away from the disgrace that was the vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"to appease the likes of Hearts and Partick Thistle" "would consider promoting Inverness grossly unfair" I have written to Ayr Chairman Lachlan Cameron asking him why relegating Partick Thistle (2 points behind with a game in hand) is fair when at the same time he considers promoting ICT (who share play-off places with Ayr and Dundee) as "grossly unfair"! I have also pointed out to him that the proposal is for a TEMPORARY reconstruction of the league to HELP and not to APPEASE clubs like Hearts and Partick Thistle! I await his answer but I am not holding my breath! Cameron is probably pissed off with us because we took his manager and a player from him. I also suspect he knows Kerr (McCall replacement) will never deliver promotion. Just some sweet revenge for him. Another club which falls into the definitely not going to this away game category unless we are sweeping away all before us - in which case I will go and gloat - gate money will be worth it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you notice in this article he also mentions the health of players. Just need to wait and see. Our season is over so doesn't affect us now.
