welshbairn Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 His proposal would still give 4 fixtures against OF for many clubs... It's essentially a slightly tweaked version of the 14-team SPL (difference being 2 extra clubs and 3 splits creating 36/40/40 or similar not 36/40, in terms of games). That said... we've already got several SFL1 clubs saying they won't take carrots to let Rangers into SFL1, and on previous evidence you'd wonder how many SPL clubs share Gilmour's view. Litmus test will be if SPL clubs agree to offer 14/16-team SPL, with 4x playing/splits/EL play-offs. It's not what fans think 16 means, but might SFL1 clubs change stance? The question is why would any Div 2 or 3 Club vote foe changing the rules to let Sevco 5088 straight into Div 1? At least they get a bit of extra gate money if they enter Div 3. And if they change to a 14/14/14 structure Sevco could be back in the top tier in 2 years.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 We had Hutton at Firhill for the 1st part of last season. Good player and no coincidence that our form dipped the minute he went back to Ipox, that said he didnt seem to do a lot at the Pars in the 2nd part of the season. He could easily get a English Championship club. Surprised he has committed, though he will probably be guaranteed a game every week now A game of what? Dominoes. They've no team, no licence and, soon, no stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sting777 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Must have missed the Peterhead statement. Where did this info come from? Here it is Chairman of Third Division Peterhead, Rodger Morrison, said it would be a “dangerous precedent” for a newco to join the SFL in the First Division. “It has to be the third division for Rangers if they are coming into the SFL. The First Division would be a cop-out in my view. It would set a dangerous precedent where separate rules exist for a club because it has a bigger supporter base or commercial importance. Even the Rangers supporters I’ve spoken to want the chance to start again and work their way back up. “If the board of the SFL want to meet that’s fine, but I cannot see any scenario where the SFL clubs will vote in favour of admitting Rangers into the First Division.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Not to detract too much from the laughing at Rangers towards too much discussion over league reconstruction, but your suggestion (6/8 split) and Gilmour's (6/6/4) both suffer from the problem of having to stretch the EL play offs down to 7th in the league somehow. The 16 (4/6/6) split avoids this problem, making European play offs much more viable. This is the main reason I back this structure over the various other workable solutions posted over the years. True, and I think 4/6/6 would be fairer (and liklier to be viable in calendar terms) than 6/6/4... however, 4/6/6 does have some downsides, including the tight top split and (potentially) 2 OF games in last 6 weeks, 1 in last 3, which the police would detest. You'd also have to imagine that adding 2 mouths to feed would be more palateable than 4, especially to those clubs against any expansion. And it weakens tier 2 less... one of the big problems has always been the further widening of the relegation chasm. Any, until such time as Gilmour persuades 10 (maybe in future SPL colleagues, it's all academic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somner`s love child Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 If they only have until Friday to apply for SFA membership, what time on Friday are we talking about? Close of office hours or midnight? Friday could be the end of this debacle and sadly, this thread. Ice cream and jelly parties everywhere at the weekend though.

thelegendthatis Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ibrox & Murray Park hived off to "separate Newco" Looks similar to what happened to Bellshill Athletic. http://www.steelmenonline.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=544 The guy McGhee got on the committee, had a property development lined up, convinced the committee to transfer the ground to him. Next day he transferred the ownership to a company in the isle of Man. A year later he chucks the football club out of the ground. But this is Rangers (I am serious) and yet we allow equally shifty characters to do the same. I suppose I was forecasting this move earlier today on here. Friday comes and no application or documentation from Green to the SFA. I don't approve of the Rangers Army threatening people, offering to do them or burn down their stadium. But sometimes you can understand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any, until such time as Gilmour persuades 10 (maybe in future SPL colleagues, it's all academic. I agree that there are reasons why the system wouldn't get the required votes. That doesn't mean it's not the best solution for Scottish football! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
