In a statement, the league said: "The board of directors unanimously decided that it was not desirable, whatever the scenario envisaged, to continue the competition after 30 June."
Ooooft.
Well if that passes then the precedent is set!!! Going to be some meltdowns at some clubs if this is what happens across Europe!! The Belgian League only had one game left to go, so their decision was a little easier and they also make no mention of the relegation issue either.
It had one game to go before the split, much like in Scotland.
The clubs are meeting later this month to try and reach an agreement but it looks like they are talking about no relegation for this season. Going by what UEFA were saying earlier it looks like the smaller leagues may have had enough and no there is little chance of the league being settled before 30 June.

Ritchie - in Belgium they half the points when they go into the split so bruges would have a 7 point lead going into the split with 10 games left.
