Can you imagine how some of the SFL owners will take to being lectured to by The Cockwomble? Hardened businessmen being spoken to like children by some imperious twat! Unless, of course, The Cockwomble is a bit like the Pope and knows SOMETHING so awful that it can only be passed on behind closed doors!! Nah, he's just a cock. And a womble.

But all this sucking up from the Glasgow press only produces a certain kind of football copy. It's full of "mebees he's coming, mebees he's going" crap. That kind of speculation isn't journalism - it doesn't tell you anything. If and when someone does transfer, then everyone knows about it and who cares whether The Daily Retard speculated about it 2 weeks ago? What about the 15 other 'exclusive' speculations that amounted to nothing. I'm happier with the East Coast press's approach. Less pandering, more information. And fewer pages of shite.

It looks like something cobbled together in a hurry, the kind of thing posted on this board as a spoof. It's full of typos and logical or grammatical errors: 1. "Rangers have no where to go". It's 'nowhere', you clots. And there is no 'Rangers' any more, because the did have somewhere to go - the grave. 2. "Takes approximately £16 million out of the game". But that £16M was mostly going to Rangers so the majority of teams aren't much worse off - especially not the SFL clubs that this missive is aimed at. 3. "Commercial partners walk away and seek compensation". Proof? Scare-mongering tactics. 4. "The settlement agreement becomes a major risk", What 'settlement agreement'? What is this? 5. "The sporting opportunity is quashed for other clubs". Not enough info in that bullet point to work out what they mean. If they mean that no Rangers means no chance to beat or be beaten by Rangers, I'd propose that honour would transfer to whichever club takes their place. 6. Section 3, "Rangers to SFL1", is crazy. For example, the first bullet says "Reduces SPL income by approximately 30%" but that applies to every option other than 'Rangers voted into SPL' so why only state it here. It's also nothing to do with the SFL clubs being addressed. 7. More of the same... Ach, I've lost the will to go any further. The whole document is unstructured and illogical, full of non sequitors and doesn't properly address its target audience. Why, if I didn't know better, I'd say that it might have been written by someone who wasn't actually part of the SFL set-up. But that couldn't be the case. Could it?

Jusr sent this to the appropiate people in the SFA and SPL: All Having seen the proposals for restructuring Scottish professional football on the BBC and STV websites, I an wholeheartedly behind them. Football needs a shake-up every so often and this might just improve competitiveness. The fact that 2 places in the SPL are now in the relegation danger zone will increase excitement and might just cause teams to think twice about their spending. This may help keep Scottish football 'honest'. Remember that word. I said I was wholeheartedly behind these proposals. Well, I am. Mostly. There's one small fly in the ointment - the part where Rangers Newco are parachuted into the SFL1. This is a travesty and stinks of corruption. This involves changing the rules at short notice for the benefit of a new company with no proof that it has either a ground, a business plan or a squad. I would not be surprised if these organizational contortions drew the attention of UEFA and/or FIFA. If these proposed structural changes are being mooted as 'good for Scottish football', then they will still be good for Scottish football without the Rangers Newco part. Please show some moral fibre and reconsider this proposal. It's not about the money: it's about sport, competition and the love of the game. I really fear for what this would do to the international reputation of Scottish football. If football isn't about integrity and fair competition then it's just a business and not one that I want to pay my money to. Regards It won't make a toss worth of difference but it makes me feel better.
