Steak & Barley

I'm certainly not gloating but at the end of the day I'm happy that the SFL has seen fit to punish your club for a history of cheating and dishonesty that is unparallelled in Scottish football history. As for you having no need to feel shame I really doubt that you did anyway. You are free to continue playing in the leagues albeit at a lower level and if there was any sincerity in your new saviours then I expect they will relish the opportunity to rebuild your club on a firm foundation. I will spare a thought for the politicians of WLC whose carefully hatched plans have probably blown up in their faces leaving the local taxpayers well and truly out of pocket. Hopefully folk will remember when casting their votes.

SFL discover balls shock Correct decision.

and so the saga drags on. I've a feeling the SFL will now be regretting their policy of abject cowardice as the mask slips from the latest vultures to land on Livi's corpse. Sadly it's probably too late now and having cheerfully strolled down the road of tame compliance the blazers will have to continue agreeing to 'support' this member club.

The idea of getting a lecture on the sad state of Scottish football and clubs from you is a bit rich. While you and many of your fellow fans may have been totally and conveniently ignorant of where you club was heading most of us weren't. Most fans are well aware of the general health of their club, it only appears to be something deep and mysterious if you come from west Lothian. Livi did not just have a head start on this road, Livi designed and laid the road out. You have been here before and learned nothing and now you come again asking for empathy and understanding after competing unfairly in relation to every other club in the division. Once again you clap like performing seals as the latest batch of saviours ride over the horizon, just like you did with Massone and all the others, aided and abetted by a tame council and a gutless, corrupt regulatory body.

It's a real pity that the Livi business plan was not a bit more ambitious. Had they gone for the plan being based on being in the SPL they may have walked away with a promotion.

Perfectly summed up. The whole edifice of LFC was built on lies and deception and the only message that can be taken away from today is that cheating works.

I fully expect the business plan will be like all the others - nice words but firmly founded on the principles of dishonesty, fraud and deception. Convincing the SFL that there was a route to cover their abject failure as an administrative body wouldn't have been that difficult. The administrator like all adminisistrators is essentially interested in one thing ie making money for himself or his company. The longer he is there the more he gets and you can be sure his bill is always paid in full.

Where have I heard this before? Was it the last great saviour, or the one before or the one before that? Surely the 'easiest and preferred' and correct way forward for Livingston was liquidation.

Shameful decision but not surprising.

I tend to agree with that view. In the case of Livi doubly so since their record for any sort of fiscal prudence has been woeful for years. Any club can find itself in trouble for a variety of reasons but Livi have taken it too far, too often to deserve much sympathy.
