Highland Dogma Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 So they are tacitly admitting that if newco finishes bottom of sfl two they can't be relegated?? If the finish midtable they get promoted anyway?? Where are the accounts to prove that club's need them? Don't see uefa or fifa intervening but if one club goes to cas ......then I think they may have a case to block this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeHectorPar Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Fat Sally saying he doesn't blame players for not transferring over to newco. Sally understands You obviously didn't read the article. Fat Sally wasn't even quoted in it. It's a jounalist's viewpoint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublinarab Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I won't freak out just yet. There is a lot of anonymous sources going on. Smokescreen for sevcos plight? Well done Aberdeen on clarification. If ST does not do same and has been part of this I will feel cheated for the financial contribution I ve made since last week. However there is an element of misreporting going on, so I won't lose hope yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Well Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) A wee post I put up on the 17th June, sounds almost the same as what is happening now... 'Sounds like the biggest cop out in history. Let me take a mad stab at what might happen. Rangers will go to SPL2 to allow them entry back into the big league asap. SFA will go for a top league of 10 as the SPL(read Old Firm) have been wanting since they started to reorganise to ensure the Old Firm maximised their revenue. Rangers don't get investigated further, will accept their slap on the wrist and we will be back to the big two with their voting rights intact and all the TV revenue and sponsorship being channelled straight back into the Old Firm. A pyramid system to keep the fans onside but under the bonnet virtually no change. It will be a pyramid system with all the cash going to the top two teams aka the old firm. Whilst Doncaster will probably become SFA spokesman as his reward for the stitch up. Borrowing someone else's words this is clearly appeasement and should be about reparations. Stitch up disguised as reformation. ' Edited June 28, 2012 by Well Well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Dogma Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 If this `plan` goes ahead, then that`s it finished. Scottish football turns from a competition into `sports entertainment`- just like shitey american wrestling. The `winners` are pre-ordaned, not allowed to fail and the also-rans are there to provide some semblance of a pretence of a contest. Blue collar southern shitkickers might be only too happy to part with their hard earned for such a sham. I am not. Make no mistake, IF five clubs may be heading for bankruptcy should this not come to pass, they sure as hell WILL be heading for it as fans turn their backs (and wallets) in protest of such a diktat. Head nail hit! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huistrinho Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 f**k that, all supporters should boycott Scottish football full stop. We're now beyond this being about one club and their punishment. We need changes to the governance of Scottish football. The whole system is rotting, Doncaster has seen that his empire is falling down and know he is one of the many who is responsible. The fucker has to go. There has to be an overhaul. Great point. I'm absolutely disgusted by today's events. No matter what the outcome of this - Rangers in, Rangers out - it's clear that the system needs radical change. There needs to be a concerted effort to flush out these shady characters and get fan representation introduced at every level of governance - from clubs all the way to the corridors of the SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 In full: Document sent to SFL clubs to put Rangers into the First Division http://sport.stv.tv/...first-division/ What a coimmplete and utter disgrace from the SFL, how will allowing SEVCO into SFL1 narrow the financial gap? Why are they so worried about the SPL losing money? An utter cockwomble of a proposal, any club that votes for that should be boycotted by every fan in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERS STAY IN SPL •Not an option •SPL clubs have indicated no 2. RANGERS TO THIRD DIVISION •Takes approximately £16 million out of the game •Commercial partners walk away and seek compensation •The settlement agreement becomes a major risk •The sporting opportunity is quashed for other clubs 3. RANGERS TO FIRST DIVISION •Reduces SPL income by approximately 30% •Balances short term need for redemption with a least worst case financial scenario •It is financially possible to recover from this scenario 4. RANGERS TO SPL2 •Currently not supported by the SFA •Creates a bigger divide •Leads to some short term commercial losses •A legal challenge could paralyse the game •The overall pot would be much less than anticipated 5.

EdinburghBlue Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I feel sorry for dunfermline, dundee, airdrie and stranraer. These clubs are back at pre season and still dont know what league they may be playing in. Sfl/sfa/spl need to get this sorted fast. Sorry. Diddy clubs! Much more important that Rangers get sorted out in a way which will allow them to get back into the SPL after a season with 90%+ of their debts written off so that they can get on with the next 9 in a row while the honest teams struggle to pay their debts and taxes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleLEITH Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 To think the Scottish football authorities had the audacity to fine Romanov for branding them a mafia etc. CORRUPT C**TS.

welshbairn Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Nope sorry, I don't think Longmuir should be wasting his breath collaborating with the bodies above him on this. The 'breakaway' SPL2 plan is a direct attack on the integrity of the SFL, and there is no doubt he was made fully aware of this 'nuclear' option. He has failed his member clubs. Even if SFL1 clubs take the bribe, they represent 1/3 of his total membership. Were the Third Division clubs consulted about a pyramid system that could kick them out of the professional game? Either every club is in on the conspiracy or Longmuir has massively overstepped his authority. Get him to f**k, now. f**k it, lets have someone from the Raith board leading our league at the moment. They have more stones than just about anyone else in this farce. In full: Document sent to SFL clubs to put Rangers into the First Division http://sport.stv.tv/...first-division/ If Longmuir has anything to do with this then I humbly apologise for doubting your judgement. I can only think he's been offered a nice wee job on SPL Mark 2. The absolute kunt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman65 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Sad day for Scottish Football. If these latest plans go through we might as well resign ourselves to the continuation if not increase of the sectarion shame of Scotland. The football authoritys have given a green light to Rangers and Celtic fans to behave as badly as they want knowing that there will be no serious consequences. The authorities are saying we need the old firm and we will do anything to keep them in the top flight, what can they do to punish them all they need to do is say thts it we're off and the SFA/SPL will roll over and let them off.

Captain_Sensible Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'd be more than happy for St.Mirren to leave the SPL and apply to re-join SFL if these corrupt b*****ds get their way. Why would Gilmour do that when he's in bed with Celtic and the rest organising this? Anything other than the burial of Rangers this summer will see me finished with Scottsih football forever. This is a one-off opportunity to make Scottish football and society better. If the Old Firm remain then its over for me. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
