The Daily Record has finally shown it’s colours by presenting their reasons for a Null & Void conclusion to the end of the 2019/20 season.
It seems that after eight successive SPL/SPFL title tributes alongside three Treble pull-outs things have gone too far at the Sports Desk of the Glasgow based publisher.
As they lead their army of readers along, the opinion piece doesn’t explain why it’s better to dismiss 30 rounds of fixtures than call a halt on eight.
There is no explanation at any stage on how UEFA will deal with Null & Void. No European football for Scottish clubs next season will be catastrophic for one club in particular. If the SPFL season is Null & Void do UEFA wipe away the co-efficient points won by Scottish clubs this season?
After a few early attempts at the N&V idea by the likes of Alex Rae that option was left aside, completely unworkable for a variety of reasons with the only factor in its favour being to Stoap Selik.
N&V isn’t an option, money is running out rapidly at Ibrox. All three domestic trophies are safely inside the Celtic board-room, they won’t be leaving any time soon regardless of the wishes of the Daily Record.

It’s actually appalling using the stat of 1000 people dying a day to have some perspective and vote null and void. Same perspective applies to current proposal

And the real reason for the Rangers tantrums is finally pushed by their media place men. #integrity #bullshit

And there it is, bluenose blogger & message boy for Sevco FC planting the seed of null & void for the leagues, exactly what both Sevco FC & their fans have been harbouring all along…..?

Fine. Declare it null and void. Dont hand out any prize money then and watch sevco die. Sounds like a great plan. The greatest cutting off their nose to spite their face there has ever been

This is just getting embarrassing now. During the playing season many a Ranger fan admitted it was over. They would not make up 13 points. Claiming the season was over. If the shoe was on the other foot. Rangers would be looking for the title. In fairness to celtic they haven’t!

If this league is Null and Void when there is a rule that covers it… Celtic will litigate and win. If Null and Void then no money for @RangersFC and no money for anyone else. When Celtic sue and win then maybe money gets paid out. In years to come

So back to the we want out money but you cant give out titles. If its null and void no club has earned the money and there for it can not be paid out. Unless they split it equally 42 ways.

Null & Void means in effect the season didn’t happen. TV comps, league/club sponsors, will not pay for something that didnt happen. Fans could reclaim ticket money for games that technicallly didn’t happen, if a bet is declared null & void betting companies must refund the bet…

Null & void = no cash payout. Terrible article from start to finish. Personally think they call the leagues as It stands and then go down the restructuring route, Let’s face it it’s needed anyway.
