The SPFL could definitely have controlled the narrative on this voting fiasco much better, but there's a lot of absolute nonsense flying about, even from folk who should know better.

1. The 28 day deadline is in the rules for an ordinary resolution, which this is. The 5pm on Friday was a suggested time (to get clubs paid sooner if it passes), but clubs are well within their rights to wait, for example to seek advice from insurers etc.

2. The SPFL Board didn't have to put this out to the clubs. They have the power to decide it on their own. However clearly putting it to the clubs is fairer for all involved.

Board is Doncaster, McLennan and reps from Rangers, Motherwell, Hamilton, Dunfermline, Alloa & Brechin.

3. The Premiership is treated differently because they can't make a decision on that until UEFA say so. It's also the only one that can realistically be played behind closed doors and be somewhat profitable.

4. The decision to call it mainly came at the behest of the lower league clubs, who need the money.

I agree with Rangers that the finish and the prize money should be decoupled in some way, but anything involving loans to clubs is a bad idea.

5. Reconstruction of the top flight needs a stronger vote, including 11-1 from the top flight.

I think that will struggle to pass. 14 maybe possible, 16 definitely not. So Dundee are not going up regardless.

May be more possible to expand the lower leagues.

6. Just because Dundee said to a journalist that they would vote one way doesn't bind them to that. They still have weeks to decide if they want.

They are well within their rights to mull it over, and they're hardly going to rush it along because Chris Sutton says so.
