We're fcuked.

Can someone like HJ tell us who all the SFL board members are.

I hope one of the SFL chairmen has the balls to post all the financial implications when they are given them, we need to get stuck into these figures and those withdrawing their cash at the earliest opportunity.

Where the fcuk's all the baubles? We the SFL fans are now being asked to accept Newco with nothing on the table about reconstruction, voting, finances etc. You bunch of cheating, scheming, self serving b*****ds can get tae fcuk and take your Newco with you. WE DON'T FUCKING TRUST YOU.

I blame Ralph Slater.

Probably as many have entered the 2nd tier as any lower tier in their respective set ups. This is a more shameful state of affairs than I was hoping for, not unexpected though.

I think every supporters club and every trust should get their fans upto this meeting on Friday. This is what I meant when I stated the SPL vote was just a sham Ric.

Get Turnbull.

I'm an old duffer and I don't buy them.

No, replace bit of a with total and I'll agree.

Elvis was immense.

Work placements are shite.

Your team wouldn't be on at all.

I used the 2,000,000 figure as the best case scenario in the same way we're bombarded by worst case scenarios constantly, I've no idea what the upper limit will be, but I do know that in play gambling will drive up any worldwide audience figures, I'm open-minded, and I honestly feel our game could come out the other side a better game if done properly and with a big pair of balls. If it's ok for multi million £ organisations to talk down figures to the gutter it's ok for me to aim for the clouds.

No,Stiff Little Fingers to the SPL seems correct to me.

It was shelved because they're closed-minded idiots. Since we're into worse case scenarios to get Newco as high up the structure as possible, how much could be generated through a Scottish football channel if we managed to get 2,000,000 subscribers worldwide? That would be a game changing amount of cash coming into Scottish football, the 3 lower tiers could have enough cash to transform their clubs while the SPL have enough cash to stabilise every club. Unfortunately we start from the "what if nobody subscribes position" in Scotland.

This piece deserves to be up in it's entirety. Ayr chief Lachlan Cameron: SFL should run Scottish football because it's stronger than SPL Jul 6 2012 by Chris Roberts LACHLAN CAMERON insists only one body should run Scotland’s leagues – but it shouldn’t be the SPL. Ayr’s chairman reckons the men who operate the top tier are bottlers who failed to sort out the Rangers nightmare. He swears the SFL is a stronger body – but is adamant they should not be saddled with the task of deciding the future of the Ibrox newco. Speaking exclusively to Record Sport from California, American millionare Cameron demanded Rangers should start life again in the Third Division. Proposals for restructuring Scottish football include anSPL 2, which could feature Second Division Ayr, but Cameron said: “Why should an organisation that can’t handle Rangers going under be trusted with increasing in size? “The SFL is a much stronger organisation. The SPL broke away from the SFL and now everyone is suggesting it should be one body running the leagues and I agree with that. “But why should the SPL be that body? They’ve proven they are incapable of holding it together in the face of financial meltdown. “Since the SPL was formed Scotland has gone backwards. We haven’t reached a major finals and the money hasn’t been shared properly amongthe clubs.” Cameron blasted SPL chief Neil Doncaster and SFA boss Stewart Regan, insisting they should never have dumpedthe Ibrox crisis on the lap ofthe SFL. He said: “They kick Rangers out of the SPL but say, ‘Please put them in the First Division and not the Third’. “It’s a ludicrous situation for them to put us in. We are being forced to put Rangers into the First Division to save Scottish football’s bacon. “They are pretending there is nothing they can do about it so are punting it to the SFL. “The top men at both the SPL and SFA are shirking their responsibilities. The SFL have handled issues properly but when the SPL have one of their teams going into liquidation they claim the whole world is going to collapse. “They avoid making a decision and pass it on to someone else to sort the mess out. The SFL are better equipped than the SPL to handle tricky situations. “It is putting everyone in the SFL under pressure because we are being told by the SPL that Scottish football will collapse if Rangers are put into the Third Division. “We are being told we may have meltdown in the Scottish leagues so it’s been put to the SFL by the SFA and SPL to decide the future of Scottish football. “What they are saying is put Rangers in the First Division and everything will sort itself out. “Otherwise there will bemeltdown and it will be theSFL’s fault. “They say clubs will go to the wall and millions of pounds will be lost. The SPL should take responsibility for that instead of blaming the SFL.” Cameron has no doubts about where Rangers should be playing next season. He said: “They have gone into liquidation and it’s a new company so they should apply to join the SFL. “I wouldn’t suggest they go into oblivion because they have the facilities and fan base we look for when someone applies to the SFL. “The Third Division would be the perfect place for Rangers. There is pressure for them to go into the First by the SPL and SFA but I believe they should go intothe Third. “They are banned from Europe for three years anyway so let’s be realistic – the chances of getting back to the SPL are pretty good.” But Cameron believes the saga is far from over and reckons SPL 2 is closer to being a reality than most fans realise. He said: “I don’t believe for a second the SPL would put their lives in the hands of the SFL if there wasn’t something else going on. “One of the two biggest clubs goes under and there is supposed to be total financial meltdown if Rangers are not admitted to the First Division. “The SPL wouldn’t do what they are doing if they didn’t think Rangers wouldn’t be allowed into the SPL by another means. “There is no way with the history of the SPL they would allow Rangers to leave.”

No,he's hasn't got the merest grasp of figures. Sit down and multiply some crowd numbers with gate prices and tell me they can't make a profit in the 3rd.

They will still be comfortably the 2nd best supported team in the country.

ME.

They are competing against teams paying £100 a week, they don't need superstars to romp that league.

16 for the auld codgers.

Some people are either scaremongering or simply can't compute simple arithmetic. How the fcuk will Newco not be able to pay for the upkeep of all their fixed assets in div 3? Newco's business model is far better in div 3 than it ever will be in the SPL.

Someone saying something doesn't make it true.
