We will get to it in due course. Will ye relax, the regular season has just ended. As I said I will take it up with the top division owners once the Superbowl has been played. There is shit loads of time and we in the premier division will not be brow beaten or rushed into any hasty decisions.
this whole proposed restructure was for the benefit of the mute premier division.
Bump.
Itâs dead in the water. @count_of_monte_crist any word yet on my appeal against the draconian sentence meted out to me for my tomfoolery last season?
Youâre welcome to make an appeal.
I would advise against it, as the sentience may be increased or reduced.
What are the grounds for this appeal?
@Big_Dan_Campbell and I will be discussing this proposal over the coming months. As you can imagine the Commissioner has a very full schedule during the season proper and deserves some well-earned time with his family.
It would be inappropriate for me to speculate on the outcome of those discussions. However, the proposal is not without some merit. It is clearly in dire need of refinement, but itâs worthy of our consideration.
Iâm only making an appeal against the severity of the sentence. Iâve held my hands up and admitted my guilt. But losing the first two draft picks and being placed last on the waiver wire for another two weeks is a ridiculously heavy punishment, you said so yourself.
Iâm appealing for a bit of common sense here, lose my first round pick and be placed last on the waiver for the first two weeks is punishment enough IMO.
Where did I say this?
@rocko the door wonât stay open forever, Iâm not in the habit of letting things twist in the wind.
The longer we protect these negotiations the further we will obviously be from determination.
The Segunda GMs are on the depths of research and many are on their second and third big boards.
Iâm willing to extend the time for discussion for 2 more weeks but after such time the machinations of the segunda draft will be set in motion as it will be only 8 weeks from the draft and quite difficult to obtain a quorum.
Whatâs the latest on this gaffer? Iâm assuming this league reconstruction malarkey is dead in the water, the lads in the top flight have completely ignored you. You need to start acting like a commissioner now and sort this mess out.*
*Iâm in no way having a go at you here.
You worry about your own misdemeanours and leave the big boy stuff to the rest of us
Firstly I donât see why you had to point out you werenât having a go at me, why would you be having a go at me? I will not listen to any deprecating rhetoric from anyone on any thread.
Secondly I have been quite consumed with other issues of late such as the combine and the pending free agency window opening, in any case @Rocko any update or @Big_Dan_Campbell?
A lot of people have been very touchy around here lately and I wouldnât have wanted you to misconstrue what I was saying.
I will be contacting the premier division franchises next week in relation to matters pertaining to our league. This may be one of the many topics we discuss
Is there any update from your franchises as of yet?
There has been some very constructive debate between the top tier franchises over the past few days but the topic of the proposed league restructure has not yet been addressed.
The ownersâ convention is really taking shape though.I didnât think we could outdo last year but the accommodation this year looks really plush.
