MONKMAN Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm not saying I'm finished with queens, but I can't see me spending as much time and effort with the club. The board clearly have no interest in listening to the fans, something they have made that abundantly clear with this decision 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I need clarification. I noticed from a post a couple of pages back that the official nomenclature for TCFKAR is now Sevco Scotland Ltd. I'm sorry, that's too much of a mouthful for an auld cnut like me wae falsers to say. I like Spivco personally. There's always The Phlegms. What's the concensus from the proletariat ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanmistermustard Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 To all the braindead morons clawing their clumped fists to their keypads and keyboards Scotland football will not die because Newco are in Division 3. The game will change, clubs will have to adapt, some may fold (sadly), more youth will have to come thru, sky might piss off with ESPN, Regan might do something helpful for once and build the game up, but Scottish Football will not die. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I know it's hard being objective about this but I think anyone looking at this from the outside and basing their judgement on the MSM would have come to the conclusion that Scottish football without Rangers in the SPL, or at least in SFL1, has no commercial value. Neil Doncaster you are to blame for that perception. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubs Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 You've gotta laugh at the Holier-Than-Thou fans stating they won't be attending games at the 'Yes' voters' grounds next season - I'm sure if one of those games happened to be a title/relegation decider they'd quickly lose their 'morals'. It's an absolute irrelevance to me who voted what as long as the majority did the right thing. I believe we were in the NO camp in the end but I really couldn't care in all honesty. I just want Rangers to suffer. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Sludden Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This isn't finished, if everything ends up fine I will not hold any club responsible. Unfortunately lots of boards contain fans of the arse cheeks, we're fortunate our chairman has the say and he's Scottish American. Then again, we've not announced our decision yet, so who knows. See the Chairman's blog for how we instructed our rep to vote. Damning comment on SPL from Lachlan. Always liked the guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The Twitter rumours about ICT panicking have turned out to be true http://www.highland-news.co.uk/News/ICT-chairman-blasts-newco-decision-a-sad-day-for-Scottish-football-13072012.htm INVERNESS Caledonian Thistle chairman Kenny Cameron says the decision to place the 'Newco' Rangers into the third division next season could "spell the end of football as we know it."Scottish Football League clubs met at Hampden Park this morning to come to a decision on where Charles Green's newco Ibrox club would play,and 25 of the 30 clubs voted the club into the bottom tier. Cameron has said the club's directors are set for an emergency meeting this weekend to discuss the financial implications of the decision. In a statement, Mr Cameron said today was saddening for Scottish clubs, and that no club would escape the consequences. The statement, in full, reads as follows: "There will now inevitably be serious consequences for the game in Scotland. "We have all, as clubs, accepted the views of our stakeholders in making the initial judgement to uphold sporting integrity. "All clubs will now have to live with the repercussions of this decision. Scottish football was at a crossroads today in terms of what was on the table for all clubs regarding reorganisation, financial distribution and a road map that would have taken the game forward. "But this has now been thrown in to disarray by this decision. This is a sad day for all clubs in Scotland." Mr Cameron added: "None of us will escape the financial fallout from this. There was an opportunity on the table, in terms of the joint agreement tabled at today’s meeting for us all to come together and a genuine willingness to improve the game substantially over the coming years. "But it now looks as though this will once again be kicked back in to the long grass. A once in a lifetime opportunity to bring forward change may well have been lost. "The directors of ICTFC are fully aware of the financial implications of this latest decision on Newco. The loss of either our fans or our sponsors was never going to leave any of the clubs in Scotland in a healthy financial position and for some this could spell the end of football as we know it. "Certain clubs in the SFL have perceived the financial information they were receiving as a 'big stick' to beat them into accepting Newco in the First Division. This was definitely not the case, as far as I am concerned. What they were being told was the reality of the situation." The chairman concluded: "We will be convening an emergency board meeting over the weekend to discuss the very serious financial implications for us as a club going forward." The Glasgow club was forced to apply to the SFL after a meeting of SPL clubs last week voted against the newco joining the top tier. Rangers went into administration on February 14 owing over £130 million to creditors. The club will be liquidated, meaning its registration with the Scottish Football Association and SPL ended. A Green-led consortium bought Gers' assests for £5.5 million and created the Rangers newco. A number of the Glasgow club's first-team players have signed with other clubs, rather than play for the newco in a lower division, but manager Ally McCoist has stayed. A decision of whether to let Dunfermline, who were relegated from the SPL last season, or Dundee, who finished second to Ross County in the first division, is imminent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itwiznaeme Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) From BBC updates: Mark in London: "I'm not sure that people have fully grasped what has happened. As far as I was aware the SFL have voted to allow Sevco Scotland Ltd to play in Div 3. However, they don't currently have a licence with the SFA. If they wish to get that licence then they need to agree to be punished for the indiscretions of the now dead Rangers. What's happened so far is the rules. The punishment is still to come!" Is Mark correct? I think he is. Edited July 13, 2012 by Itwiznaeme 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want Rangers to suffer. Agree with this, until the last line. I wanted natural justice - the correct protocols to be followed. Whilst they got into the SFL unchallenged, at least it's at the very bottom level, where they should be. I'm sure it'll mean a much more horrible Rangers will emerge, one with a chip on it's shoulder and intent on 'taking numbers', but at least they'll be forced into a reality check, especially when they're not winning games 5 or 6-0 like they seem to think they'll have the devine right to do next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
