Thundermonkey Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 These proposals are 'final nail' time for me. If our clubs meekly accept these to accomodate a dead club then I'll get my footballing fix abroad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkboy Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Shameful shit trying to be pulled off by the footballing authorities against the will of supporters. I hope the clubs who said no realise that this is not a compromise their fans will settle for. Looking at you Petrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Got to remember, SevCo still need to register with the SFA. The DeadCo Rangers are in administration with no players, with no chance in hell that they can guarantee that they'll fulfil their fixtures. It is important to remember that, surely they can't be admitted in the state they are in. We still hold the cards they are after. They want Rangers more than anything, and pandering us with league reconstruction in order to secure them into the first division football isn't going to happen. The message remains the same, if this plan begins to take legs, then email your club, the SFA, SPL and SFL informing them of your stance. I for one, am yet to renew my season ticket, and will not renew it if Rangers are playing in the first division or an equivalent thereof. I urge all fans who have purchased season tickets to inform their club that they will seek refunds should they install a club who are outside of the league, in at first division level, where a precedent has already been set at third division level. Don't lose hope people. There is no chance in hell that Scottish football can operate with a packed Ibrox and empty stadiums and clubs up and down the country harmed by their own greed up and down the country. If they are voted back in at first division level, then the game is over. We've been failed by our footballing bodies and it just isn't worth justifying such financial costs towards a league system which is corrupt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Don't think the'tache will be agreeing to jackshit. Don't think big boss tam would approve. I was thinking the same. Odd though that Petrie is specifically mentioned by name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punk_dfc Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Just getting the feeling Scottish football fans are going to get stitched up by these short-sighted plans. The relentless bending over backwards to save Newco may be the final nail in the coffin of Scottish football. If these proposals go through, thousands of fans will be lost for good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Diamond Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I know FIFA said they were quite happy to let the SFA deal with this situation themselves,but the fact they haven't and aren't doing anything...i rephrase that,anything that isn't looking to fastrack a tax dodging cheating club back into the top flight asap.....I do hope they step in soon before civil war is declared in the Scottish football world. We have become the laughing stock on the playing field,and this is only adding to it for our off field game as well.It is a joke,and should never have been allowed to continue for as long as it has done. Not only is our game in bad need of a complete restructure,so is the SFA.A complete clear out,and new representatives put in place is what is required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookies Love Me Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 From the rules of the SPL: C4.5.1 Subject to Rule C4.5.2 fee payments ('Parachute Payments") shall be made for each of the two Seasons following relegation to any Club relegated from the League from time to time of the lesser of £250,000 and 1.63% of the Net Commercial Revenues in the Season following relegation and the lesser of £125,000 and 0.82% of the Net Commercial Revenues in the second Season following relegation. The Parachute Payments payable for each Season shall be paid to the appropriate Club(s) at the commencement of the relevant Season(s) following relegation. C4.5.2 In the event that a Club is promoted to the League, after having been relegated for only one Season, it shall not receive any Parachute Payment in respect of the second Season after its relegation. If they are classed as "relegated" would they be hard necked enough to invoke these clauses???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgm Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Rangers should start at div 3. However, didnt airdrie utd start in div 2 after buying out clydebank? Sure that was the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Well Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well it appears the proposals are going down like a lead balloon with those on Rangers Media as well. Hopefully they will block this as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sevco haven't bought a 1st Division side, instead the authorities are just going to gerrymander the league system to slot them in there. Farce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobite_Dundee Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've managed to find the relevant excerpt from the SFL Regulations: "Para 13.5.1872 Crawling Back In the event of an ill-managed club trying to wangle its way back into the Scottish Football League after having previously broken away in a huff because it wasn't getting enough money, it shall: a) commence running b) launch itself into the air The aforementioned club shall be eligible, however, to take a place at the back of the queue and quietly and properly make an application to join the Scottish Football League, along with nice little clubs like Cove Rangers and Spartans. Such applications will be considered taking into account each club's recent history of shafting the rest of Scottish football and tarnishing its reputation. In order to comply with the Equality Act 2010, any penalties or being telt imposed on one of Glasgow's sectarian twins will be applied to the other as well." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Sevco have not bought another club. They are a brand spanking new club who have NEVER played a game and want access to the First Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever Diamond Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Rangers should start at div 3. However, didnt airdrie utd start in div 2 after buying out clydebank? Sure that was the case. Yes we did,and you answered the question why? yourself.We bought out another club. A sad situation which was forced on us due to 3 year audit,not wanting us to look like a pheonix club,also the fact they slated our fanbase and weren't prepared to see it rekindled. In other words,much the same as the situation with Sevco,only they seem to be bending over and taking it up the pipe for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
