    The other way of reading it is even the SFA is unsure who owns Livi FC - Oppco6 or Baycup

    What do you mean, “even the SFA”? They’re not the Illuminati FFS. Their determination on who owns the club will be entirely dependent on the what the club tell them. Given that the club are in court to determine that very thing, they can’t tell the SFA anything.

    As much as the gap isn’t insurmountable, yesterday showed that this team isn’t capable of putting a run of results together.

    We’ve improved since December with Yengi and Carson joining, Brandon starting and a sensible formation being picked, but it’s clearly not going to cancel out the abysmal October - December period

    Nail on head for me. In order to have the slimmest of chances of staying up, we need to win three more games than Ross County. Not just 3 games out of 11 remaining - but 3 games MORE than Ross County. Unless of course weren’t expecting Ross County to pick up no more points between now and the end of the season.

    I see the SFA are now involved in the Livi saga.

    See Davie portraying himself as the saviour 😀

    More court cases to come stay tuned.

    What that essentially piece boils down to is the SFA wanting to know who categorically owns the club before they can then assess whether they are fit and proper.

    This game should not be played. It should be put to a vote.

    Premiership supporters, I ask you. Next season, would you rather be able to visit the Mallard, the Caledonian, and a fucking Wimpy (with the bonus of an evening in Inverness), or have to drink in a shopping centre?

    Do the right thing. Vote for Uncle Roy's brave lads.

    Plenty reasons there for keeping County up, and I agree wholeheartedly with the Wimpy shout; but you don't have to drink in the shopping centre at all. Indeed, if you choose to drink in the shopping centre then you're doing it wrong. And by "it", I mean everything. You've failed at life without even having an attempt on target.

  4. I had hoped that Ratcliffe was going to be successful in getting his shoes under the table. I always liked the cut of his jib. 

    He can f**k right off though with any talk of state funding for a New Trafford. He can also f**k right off with any talk of Greenwood wearing the shirt again. And his three year aim is a nonsense as well. 

    I think I’d rather have the Glazers being mute than Ratcliffe’s first official ramblings.

    Throwaway account for obvious reasons, although I dare say some folk will be able to work out who I am.

    It's looking likely that my wife and I will be separating soon. We've been together nearly 18 years and married nearly 12. We have three kids. Our children have various levels of disabilities and to say we have had a hard marriage would be an understatement. Years of constant fights with councils, schools, health authorities have taken their toll. We're now constantly bickering and arguing with each other, and due to a couple of poor financial decision over the past few years are in a smaller house than we've ever been. We're constantly under each other's feet and making each other miserable. And it's starting to affect the kids, and for both of us that's a deal breaker.

    I guess I'm still a bit hopeful we can work things out - we have before - but I think this time may be it. We've spoken maturely about it and we do still love each other very much, so we are thinking of possibly a Living Together Apart situation may be workable, but we're not sure.

    Plan is that my wife will look to move somewhere else with the kids. I'll continue to stay in our current house and get it ready to go on the market, and then sell it and look to buy myself somewhere suitable for the kids as well. We'll then co-parent and the kids will spend half the week with me and half the week with her.

    I guess I'm just looking for a bit reassurance from anyone who's been through similar that it can work out. We want to remain amicable, and remain friends and continue to do family things together. But it's tough just now as we're both still living in the same house and will be for the forseeable.

    Shite situation, and I really feel for you. All of you in fact. I see your situation daily and I dare say it’s no comfort at all, but the amount of relationships that break down is staggering. You’re not on your own. 

    In relation to your last paragraph - it absolutely can work out. That absolutely depends on the individuals involved though. Lots of give and take will be needed. Be open minded - too many people go into these situations completely closed to any sort of compromise, be it around the kids, or the finances, or the house, or whatever. 

    All the very best. PM me anytime.

    Was excited about heading up to this for my first away day in dingwall. But, since it's my birthday, the wife has booked us to go out for dinner then to a comedy show...I've already told her not to get upset at me checking the scores all afternoon

    I think I can trump that. My daughter is dancing at a Ukrainian Benefit concert thing at a cathedral in Edinburgh. I’m destined to yell in affirmation as Tete Yengii bangs one in just as someone on stage mentions Putin.

    Always good to ask for legal advice on here haha... we've been trying to get a hold of a lawyer who's been doing some work for my mum to get an update on the file for about 3 weeks now- I must have phoned on about 8 occasions, sent two emails and went into the office in person with a hand-signed letter last week which the receptionist (who was very apologetic) assured me would be looked at- the excuses on the phone are always "he's out of the office / he's working through his messages / I'll let him know you've called on a few occasions". My mum has also phoned twice and been fobbed off as well.

    Other than just the shite customer service I'm wondering if he's made a bit of a bollocks of what he's doing. I don't really want to engage other lawyers as then the cost just starts to spiral but what the f**k do I do short of doorstepping him or putting a molotov cocktail through his window to get him to reply? Is there a complaints procedure?

    edit: we've heard nothing for about 4 months, I've only started chasing it up in the new year though so I'm not being hugely impatient

    You've no idea how much this kind of stuff enrages me. 

    In relation to complaints etc., the firm that your mum are using should have an internal complaints procedure. Details of it should be in your mum's Terms of Business letter, which she should have got at the start of the process. That would need to be followed first I would imagine before the SLCC would get involved.

    I wouldn't worry too much about seeking another solicitors view on things - there will be solicitors around (we certainly do) where the first appointment is always free. You would find that the original solicitor would probably withdraw from acting if you sought advice elsewhere but it sounds like, in this case, that may be no bad thing. 

    As an aside, from a personal point of view, that kind of wait for your mum and the inaction of the solicitor is woefully bad. 

  8. £4m per year for the new gaffer at Palace apparently. Not bad coin for keeping a team in the league when two of the three relegation spots are already nailed on. 

    I’m incredibly risk averse (and probably shite as a football manager) but even I would back myself to keep that gang up.

    Yeah, they were definitely building a bit of momentum and would be interested to know how many new members forms they got (especially considering they need them physically handed to them), but more or less radio silence after the Rankine case was a bit weird. I get the guy running the account is ill but based on how they refer to him in the third person sometimes I'm going to guess he's not the only one on it; so shouldn't really have been anything stopping the odd update.

     

    Yes, I'd be interested to know that as well. 

    It was good to get the email from them last night - at the very least it gave quite a detailed breakdown of the positions needing filled and the skillset needed by individuals to do so. Food for thought for me anyway, and hopefully a few other people as well.

    A fully functioning, independent Trust should only be good for the Club.

    Normally when someone wins in court the other side pay the costs of the case 🤔

    Normally, yes -  if the entire court process has concluded. In this case though, an agreement was reached pre hearing. When that happens, an agreement on expenses has to be reached. If parties can’t agree, then an expenses hearing is fixed for a later date. 

    Did we agree to pay Rankines expenses?
