I heard different, debear. Widely known that Dundee are one of six clubs that have insurance for this. Financially, they ought to have no impact? However, they may have a issue with their insurers that their vote could be seen as self-inflicting their claim so voiding it? Complicated but we know insurers will look for any way to wriggle out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A football club with insurance against a pandemic outbreak? Really?
The only sport I know of that had that kind of insurance was the AELTC for Wimbledon and that was only because some of their board were aware of previous tournament cancellations abroad. It probably didn’t even cost them that much at the time either.

Now watch the insurers wriggle out.
Had the experience years ago of going through an insurance claim when one of our factories burned down. Straightforward business interruption you’d think
Think again

Hence my comment that they are rightly treading very carefully and hoped there would be a decision without them having to vote. No win. My source is 3rd hand so cannot count on the veracity.

Some chat they are trying to get Dundee to change their vote - they voted ‘no’ but the SPFL says they didn’t receive the vote.
Dangling league reconstruction as an incentive for them to change their vote.
If that’s true - it’s a disgrace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why?
Surely it’s trying to lessen the impact across the board no?
This thing needs a quick resolution especially for the lower divisions so time to plan thoroughly wasn’t a luxury they had.
If Dundee are insured and have nothing to worry about then good luck to them. The longer this is left in limbo however the greater the economic impact.
As for the prize money. I don’t think it refers to tv money which is paid separately by tv companies. That money probably doesn’t even figure much for lower clubs in any event.
See below from last year which is the same formula for this year

Just think the releasing of the vote count, etc before its finished is completely amateur and bordering on coercion.
Meant to be a professional governing body and it’s being run like a eurovision vote.

The reports are saying they did vote?
Scratch that - was it journos saying they did vote because they released a statement criticising the proposal?

Well there was plenty people saying that on social media and defamatory stuff about Lawwell, Doncaster, McKenzie, Nelms and almost everyone else on 'the list' and beyond.

Honestly insurance is they biggest scam going. Will go to absurd lengths to not pay out
Lots of accusations (and let’s be honest, it’s mainly from rangers fans and their bloggers) about what’s going on in the background, and somehow Lawwell is masterminding it.
The ones with most to lose are the clubs that need the cash or else they might go under. I can see there being discussions between the SPFL board and Dundee over what the situation could be, but I seriously doubt Lawwell will be involved purely because he wants the title awarded just now.
I get the need for a bogeyman and Lawwell fits the bill for some, but I really don’t think this is a Celtic v rangers situation, and fans should maybe start to think beyond that.

Dundee can’t be thinking along OF lines. Surely to God. It’s about them and fair enough.
I just don’t get what they want that could be given in all honesty.
No, I don’t think they are thinking along those lines. I think it’s others suggesting that they are.
