Iain Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Not sure if anyone has told him Servco1690 are banned from Europe for 3 years. They're not banned. They're just not eligible to play because they're a new club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellboy1978 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 They're not banned. They're just not eligible to play because they're a new club. Fair enough. Confused with this whole sags to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 *speechless* I liked this bit; "RANGERS chief executive Charles Green last night accused SPL chairmen of bowing to fan power instead of acting for the good of Scottish football." I mean... I don't even... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Sensible Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 St. Mirren seem to be concrete No. Cough, splutter, chokes into his cornflakes and wonders if poster has seen the posts directing P&B users to our 'shareholders meeting' thread on the B&W Army fans website. Its absolutely sickening. I think everyone can see our BoD for what they are now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky_nomad Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The SFL clubs have shown little sign of wavering in the PR onslaught. East Fife, Stranraer and Stirling have just added their voices to a clear chorus of 'No' to Sevco in the First. I make that Rovers, Falkirk, Morton, Peterhead, Clyde, East Fife, Stranraer and Stirling so far. Can people PLEASE stop omitting Dunfermline Athletic from this list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Sensible Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So what will folk on here spend their season ticket money on if the vote goes the wrong way today. My season ticket money stays in the bank until I'm certain that Rangers won't be coming back into any league in any shape or form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Berwick Rangers Supporters Trust is to meet on Wednesday to formulate a position - that isn't big news, but the statement includes downloads of BOTH documents the SFL clubs are consulting on. One is the bulletpoint list of financial etc. items, but the other is the proposed governance structure of a united body. I don't think it's been in public domain previously? http://www.berwickrangers.org/sfl-newco-proposals/ Main features: * SPL is renamed SPFL, and SFL wound-up * 12 clubs in SPFL Premier hold 'A' shares; 30 clubs in SPFL Championship, League One, League Two hold 'B' shares * Qualified Resolutions require 11-1 majority of A shares, where affecting them; and 3/4 of B shares, where affecting them * otherwise 8-4 majority of A shares; 2/3 majority of B shares * Main Board comprises Chairman, CEO, 3 Premier reps, 2 lower-level reps, 2 independent directors * Chairman + 1 independent appointed by Premier clubs; 1 independent appointed by other clubs * Operational Board One deals with Premier + Championship... Chairman, CEO, 2 Premier reps, 1 Championship rep * Operational Board Two deals with League One + League Two... Chairman, CEO, 2 League One reps, 1 League Two rep It strikes me, on first reading, that this is somewhat weighted towards SPFL Premier clubs. Not particularly equitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fasda Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So what will folk on here spend their season ticket money on if the vote goes the wrong way today. Banks o' dee for me. ST holder and small time sponsor at AFC. Sad because I think AFC are saying the right things (no hiding place on the vote, they will have to go public) but what's the point? Might as well give the £ straight to Sellick/Newco and miss out the middle man. Contrary to Traynor and all the other Sellick/newco fans I think anything other than a no vote will bust a few clubs. Easy for me to say of course because I actually think they've been rumbled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Its absolutely sickening. I think everyone can see our BoD for what they are now. I would suggest that what our board are is this - caught in the middle of a shitstorm that isn't their fault, genuinely not knowing what to do, because whatever they do, or whatever the rest of Scottish football decides to do... to one degree or another, we're fcuked. However... the issue is clearly clouded in our case, because despite all the undoubted good that our chairman and BOD have done, the fact remains that him and four others bandied together to ring-fence their 52% majority shareholding, freezing out the remaining 48%. This included some significant minority shareholders. The club sale was tantalisingly close for the 5 members of the selling consortium... their 1.2 - 1.5 million was almost within touching distance.... Then the buns went tits-up. Now, how much the buns going tits-up and shafting them of getting their mitts on the money is influencing their current actions is up for debate. I'm not coming down on one side of that debate or the other. I can ask the question tonight at 5.30pm and fully intend to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasda Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 IF the zombies were allowed into SFL1 and finished last, would they be relegated? No, they would not. The setup would be altered, again. This is beyond 'sporting' integrity. It's integrity full stop. East Fife used the word "credibility" which is getting closer to the mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calidad Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) I knew this would happen. The DR is doing the old tabloid trick of trying to set the narrative, and thus creating the reality where "We are the truth" and everyone else is in the wrong . They are still peddling the idea that Sky would walk away from our game, and that our game will crumble into some sort Irish league set up. Now this ploy might have worked, say twenty years ago when the printed media were probably the only way we would get our information from. Not now though, time hath changed. We know that Sky are not going to walk away from our game, their whole business plan is to put as much sport behind a pay-wall so as to get as many of us to buy subscriptions. Our game is not going become some sort of Irish League, yes we might have few less millionaire players strutting about our pitches but is that a bad thing? I would rather see the teams putting out their own home-grown talent. Times are going to be tough for a clubs, as fans we know that, but we also trust our clubs to make the right adjustments so they can deal with those times. I think our clubs know that they will lose a large chunk of their fan base and will do the right thing. Charles Green's ridiculous comments about clubs "running scared" of their fans, the clubs are not scared of their fans Charles, they are listening to their fans. I think its Charles Green that is running scared. Times have changed in Scottish football. The DR sport writers ( and all the others ) will just have to get the road map out and enjoy the hospitality of Peterhead. I look forward to the 3 page spread of the match reports of the third division games. For Charles Edited July 3, 2012 by Calidad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
