craigkillie Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 What exactly does the SPL have to do with Raith going to a hybrid part-time/full-time model? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussy Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yes, there is hypocrisy evident on here. However, it only mirrors that evident among those who wield power. I know whose is more reprehensible and damaging. It's not hypocrisy at all in my book. We want fairer voting rights, we're refused them by unfair voting rights geared to the duopoly. The unfair voting rights don't suit one half of the duopoly, fair voting rights are used. The hypocrisy here is with the SPL (I know that's our own chairmen). We, as fans, have every right to be outraged at the change in majorities when it suits the old firm to a majority share they have previously opposed vehemently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The big chair Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 What exactly does the SPL have to do with Raith going to a hybrid part-time/full-time model? Fucked if I know. These clubs are apparently self-sufficient and in no way reliant on the SPL handout, which only accounts for smidgen of the money distributed by the SFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansypotterthedirtyrotter Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'm surprised you feel the need to comment when you don't know the facts of the situation. From the SPL Articles of Association rather than sounding like a troll, why not point out, that when you read the articles of association it states that the allotment or issue of a share requires a special qualified resolution which in turn requires an 83% vote or 10-2 majority if you prefer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansypotterthedirtyrotter Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Proposed rule changes for Financial Fairplay - and this proposed rule change to make a GM of clubs approve a Newco, instead of the Board - apply to everyone. Whether or not Rangers get a vote at a GM called to consider an application from Rangers to transfer their share will depend on the wording of that second rule change. you can word it any way you like, allotment or issue of a share is a special qualified resolution requiring a 10-2 majority. edit; it is infact a qualified resolution reqiring a 90% vote Edited May 7, 2012 by pansypotterthedirtyrotter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 In terms of actual tangible happenings - since Feb 14: Russell & Smith jumped ship. Cellik & Wylde walked. Squad agree temporary pay cuts. Soccerball Bill announced as preferred bidder. Is that it? I must have missed something! £160k fine and a transfer embargo. Both subject to appeal. These are tangible events although not driven by rangers. No evidence yet that they intend meeting their PAYE obligations or any other debts. Expect an announcement shortly though ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, as fans, have every right to be outraged at the change in majorities when it suits the old firm to a majority share they have previously opposed vehemently. I think we're in agreement here. HJ's point though was that people on here object to one voting structure being employed, then get upset when another one operates. My point is that this is only in response to the fact that each voting structure used seems designed to ensure outcomes we don't like. Our sense of "outrage", to use his word, is all the greater because it's impotent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
