EdinburghPar1975 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Its time for the SPL teams to come out and say which of them back this proposal, if they are sending out such bile in their name then they should be big enough to admit which of them are backing it...i'd take an initial guess at Celtic, Motherwell and Killie. If Aberdeen are sayng they're not happy wih it then it makes you wonder who is... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlichtie Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 You know the worst punishment for us and best from an SPL perspective would have been keeping Rangers in the SPL and massive points and financial deductions for 3 or 4 years, which i believe was orginal SPL plan until the no to newco mob saved us from that fate. Going to the 1st division is a cop ouut and the only feasible option is the 3rd division where we're seen to be punished and have to earn respect as well as league progression. In any league, I'm still having doubts as to whether or not Rangers can fulfill fixtures. SFA, SFL and Charles Green need to get round a table and explain how he plans to go forward - convince Longmuir he can actually get a team out on the pitch for 36 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodmoorhill Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Sorry but that reeks of battered wife syndrome ...ahd be burning without him...when rfc were midtable in the seventies and eighties and Aberdeen n Dundee utd were the dominant sides no clubs went into admin the world didn't fall off its axis the national team qualified for world cups and teams made up of Scottish players won European trophies...its only since the cheating started with admitted that the long term decline of our national game began. In amidst the rhetoric I haven't seen one single factual detailed representation of financial benefit from newco! Well said. I can't believe people are fearing life without Sevco. FFS! Man up, or we'll remain the diddy league of Europe forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic and Rangers combined to win 16 out of 20 titles in that period, way less than today but now with player power in full flow money matters even more than it did back then. Not to diminsh Aberdeen and United's European achievements or the National team but Scotlands current standing is way below where it was and while the Old Firm might have played their part, economics and politics have been a much greater factor when considering the Scottish decline. If you want a detailed financial representation of the worth of Rangers or newco go look for the details of the unsigned TV extension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamDFC Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Just got this from the fans trust in response to my email: This information is as new to us (Supporters Trust) as it is to those reading the article on the BBC this morning.... I also suspect, having spoken to Kenny Cameron last night, that it is news to the SPL Chairmen as well. As such we are unable to offer any view or opinion at this stage, but will pass your comments on to the club. Sounds like Cockwomble may have gone rogue? That is a truly terrifying prospect. A red-eyed, ridiculously dressed rogue cockwomble roaming the streets. Off the radar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sting777 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 All clubs fans need to start mailing, ringing turning up at the bloody door of their clubs and tell them NO Its well under way in the North West of Glasgow!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFA, SFL and Charles Green need to get round a table and explain how he plans to go forward - convince Longmuir he can actually get a team out on the pitch for 36 games. I've got the same doubts, i don't believe that green as the funding availble to run the club or if he even wants to put a team on the park. Just too many problems and not enough time, i hope i'm wrong and there's a Gers teams playing this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Just logged on for the day, bloody hell the Cockwomble is determined to single handedly save sevco ain't he. Ive read the proposal and I'm trying to understand to which league its meant to be attractive too. The 3rd and 2nd don't get the payday from 2 visits from sevco. The 1st division becomes a farce If Rangers are remotely strong. The SPL would have 2 places that could see you relegated, and Rangers only kicked out for 1 year after all that they did. Who is this proposal attractive too? The only interest from me was the playoffs which we should have anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Where was the Sporting integrity when the sheep avoided relegation because Falkirk's Stadium wasn't big enough? Surely all the gate receipts clubs have taken from games against Rangers should be given back to HMRC in the name of Sporting Integrity? Plenty of talk of Sporting Integrity but as soon as it is put to people who so dearly advocate it that they are hypocritical, they wail "youse cheated, nae history"etc. Div 3 for this Bear, f**k Div1 1 and the SPL and I for one look forward to the collapse of the SPL and teams like Aberdeen and Hearts going to the wall, as they haven't got the fan base to save their pishy clubs. Did Aberdeen cheat the tax payer for a decade? No. Did Rangers agree to the proposals that allowed Aberdeen to stay up and Falkirk stay down? Yes. Enjoy Montrose, if your apology of a club is still in existence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerokus Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Was this cooked up at that meeting of the SPL clubs last week (to which Celtic weren't invited, intriguingly)? Whoever is behind it though, we can all agree that it's totally insane. Edited June 28, 2012 by deerokus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we are "guilty" of lacking sporting integrity, I find it rich other clubs putting the boot in whilst milking the cash cow. Can't have you're cake and eat it. I look forward to Montrose, Elgin, Peterhead etc, much better than playing in a league of shortsighted fools who will reap what they sew in years few.

welshbairn Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Dear SPL and Cockwomble apologists, I cordially invite you to join the brand spanking new SFL. There will be two divisions, one of 20. and one of 22. All SPL sides will be invited to join Division 1, other than any entity beginning with Servo, who will be invited to apply for Division 2 membership, along with others. If the Servo entity's application is successful, and they manage to gain promotion, then you can share again in their bountiful treasure after only one year! You could even have a mid season split to get more games with the ugly sisters! You lucky boys, how can you refuse? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a detailed financial representation of the worth of Rangers or newco go look for the details of the unsigned TV extension. Newco doesn't have a feckin business plan let alone transparency on investors. Noone knowsif they can pay their way to day one of season and suggesting that they would provide any fiscal benefit to anyone but themselves is blind naivety. Fwiw I'm old enough to remember years from mid seventies to mid eighties and prior to sdm cheating any neutral observer would have seen Aberdeen and utd as the standard bearers of Scottish football while ibrox was sat near empty. How many clubs died while ibrox had crowds of five thousand?? Not one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
