Stewart Regan: Scrap the winter break and play youths to finish the season

Ah Peter Lawwells old buddy. A guy who ran Scottish football on his behalf.

His opinion should be filed with Hartson and Suttons. All part of pushing the mentally challenged agenda.
 
what's the point?

the way things are going there will be demands to run the end of this season and the beginning of next season concurrently.
if it can't be played out before the end of May then cancel it. Its football ffs...its not that important... people are already dying in the UK and many many more will be fighting for their lives in the coming weeks, put the damn thing into perspective
 
Oh dear! Another Liewell facilitator bumping his gums about extending the season and proposing all sorts mental gymnastics to ensure Septic win their tainted title.
They really are the scum of the earth.

FORMER SFA chief executive Stewart Regan would cancel next year's winter break and force cup matches to be played by reserves and youth team players in a bid to ensure that the season can be completed despite the coronavirus crisis in UK football.

The former Hampden supremo and Yorkshire Cricket Club managing director has taken to social media to unveil a new seven-point plan to ease an issue which could this week see all football banned until the summer.

A joint SFA and SPFL working group - acting on government advice - took the decision to scrap all Scottish football indefinitely, including the third league meeting between Rangers and Celtic which was scheduled for Ibrox tomorrow.

While it is anyone's guess when government advice will allow mass gatherings to take place again, Regan hopes it is possible to play football again as soon as possible.

He would pick up the season again where it left off, squeezing the league season into a "tighter time-frame" by freeing up fixture dates currently occupied by cup games.

If the league cannot be completed by the time next season's European club competitions are designated to start, then European slots could go to the teams who held those positions when the league was postponed.

Next season's cup matches should be played midweek and involve "non first-team players", allowing for opportunities for young players.

The normal 'end of season' could also be extended by two weeks to give the leagues further capacity.


Reports claim that Regan's successor Ian Maxwell and his SPFL counterpart Neil Doncaster will thrash out a joint UK-wide approach on a Thursday meeting with the EFL and the Premiership, amid speculation that the season could be scrapped immediately and shut down til AUGUST.

For now, next year's campaign is scheduled to get under way with the BetFred Cup in July 2013, but it is anyone's guess right now how long the pandemic will take hold.

Are they any more at risk than anyone else going to their work. The biggest school in Paisley had 1700 pupils. It's still open.

They have already said they are holding off on closing schools because when they do it will likely be months rather than weeks, that then means parents will be forced to take time off work to look after them, it will have a domino effect pretty much bringing the country to a standstill. It’s going to happen but they ar e trying to lessen it as much as possible.
Football on the other hand is totally optional. So I can see why the union is just saying no.
 
So reserve team and youth players are allowed to be exposed to the potential of catching a virus that could kill their friends and family but first team players won’t be exposed to that risk.
Nice to know that Stewart Regan places a lower value on the lives of those people.
How did he ever get into the positions that he has held?????!!!!
 
This guy took a survivor of historical CSA over to Hampden for lunch and sat in a box overlooking the park at talked for a couple of hours basically before all shît hit the fan and pre warned him

He promised the world and set up Counseling for him,it was pulled a week later and he left not long after from his position,part of the problem like others have said.

Not a man of honour or respect,so ram your opinion prîck.
 
It’s been three days now and we’ve had Brown, Lennon, Hartson,Sutton and now this clown who was nothing but a puppet for them anyway.
Who’s next??
We should have a competition to relieve the boredom.
I’ll say Boyd. ( not the ex Killie and Rangers one)
 
Agree with scrap the winter break as it's a pile of shite.

For me I would like all league to be void, top 6 come up from championship. Championship and League 1 merge. League 2 becomes new league 1.
 
Surely they can just bin the cuos for a season and play league games in theae slots. Ditch the winter break and extend as far as possible would give another 6/7 weeks
 
Well, que sorpresa.

Haven’t heard from him for years, thankfully, and up he pops with a ridiculous suggestion, diminishing future competitions in order to ensure a league that’s already compromised, gets completed.

I wonder if he received a call from a PR company by any chance.
 
As soon as they award the vermin the title without them winning it, Rangers and the other 10 clubs in the division go to court to get next season stopped until the law deals with the compensation claims.
 
The season is finished, its just a matter of time before the authorities admit to it,,also the league will start later next season ,,so null and void this season,,,,although I hate this European places will have to be determined some way,so that will probably be as the league's stand at the moment or maybe a small playoff tournament..for next season only ,don't play the league cup and have a 16 team league playing each other twice ,,,its way of ensuring we finish the league next season
 
Sure the cup sponsors will be delighted when it's downgraded to a youth tournament with the interest to match. Absolute gibberish nonsense from the former place man.
