Roker Rover Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So its a £17.25m loss and there will no nothing at all replacing it?? And don't TKFKAR and Celtic currently take 40% each of the £17.25m anyway? That leaves £3.45m for the rest? Say the deals reduce to one third, i.e. £5.75m, no Rangers to pay 40% to and Celtic still get 40% of the smaller pie. Celtic would get £2.3m and that would leave, £3.45m for the other clubs. Under the above scenario, the remaining non old firm clubs would be totally unaffected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdTheDuck Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Will it? How exactly? Seriously? This bunch of charlatans will do whatever it takes; bribe the first division clubs, introduce the SPFL (with lopsided voting) instead of the SPL (and voila no Annual Settlement), breakaway from their breakaway and have another breakaway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beermonkey Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 If the contract between the SPL and the SFL contains such a clause or was conditional on said money ... whose problem is it then? Edit: Or is the money that is handed down chickenfeed to the wealthy SFL clubs? Dress it up how you want...THIS IS AN SPL PROBLEM. Cockwomble needs to be told, if newco want in, they start in the 3rd, if that's not good enough for you then you lot take them back to the SPL......NOW f**k OFF !!!!! So, SPL contracts require Rangers in the SPL in 2013/14..... so SFL1 literally needs to be rigged for Rangers to win it?! Spot on. Also, would they scrap relegation if Sevco were to finish last? Utter joke and also not the SFLs problem. F**k em. NotoNewco Again..spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Not sure how that affects Berwick Rangers? It'll affect Berwick because one way or another the £1.9M Annual Settlement will, somehow or another, be torn up and taken away from the SFL clubs… Well thats the fear/threat/intimidation, anyway. That is scandalous, and a sacking offence. Hints at corrupt values, where financial gain overrules sporting integrity. Doncaster has to go. Doncaster doesn't sign contracts himself, FFS !! If the clauses exist it is because the sponsors wanted them and the clubs/Board were happy giving them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribzanelli Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 THis explains Doncasters behaviour up to now, he has negotiated some p!sh TV contracts on behalf of the SPL and if he doesn't get Sevco back in the SPL he'll be found out. Does the new proposal have a clause which states Sevco MUST win the first division? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobardon Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Four months too late you p***ks! That isn't really an apology though, is it? Saying that they apologise for other people's errors/fraud is a weasel way out. Absolving all existing employees of blame further compounds this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing to remember is that every SFL club representative to this meeting will be saying the same thing. I also agree with the earlier poster, this should be thrown back to the SPL it's their mess and they must have the bottle to deal with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Jim Spence @bbcjimspence Neil Doncaster tells sfl that Sky, Espn and sport 5 deals at threat as contracts require RFC in spl in 2013/14 value 17.35 mill Expand Reply Retweet Favorite Yet another illustration of why Doncaster is such a twunt. 2013/14 is plenty time for clubs to rebudget for renegotiated contracts. As far as I can recall, there has been no comments or acknowledgement from the SPL sides that ANY contracts guaranteeing the presence of ANY particular club(s) is in itself corrupt as it automatically discounts the nature of sport, even considering the liklihood when the contarcts were signed of either OF team slipping outside the top six let alone going bust. It is difficult to fathom the thinking behind any SPL club that sneaks in a yes vote tomorrow after saying it would vote no. Even if some fans who said they'd quit the game return, I reckon there will still be enough staying away to do major damage. And don't get me started on the talk of a secret vote ffs.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Was the tv deal not due to go up 20m next season to 80m. So a 17m loss is actually a 3m gain? Or have I got this completely wrong? TV deal with Sky-ESPN (for UK rights) was to rise from £13M p/a to £16M p/a. Sport5 is I assume an overseas broadcaster? Can't conclude from a Tweet what is meant. And don't TKFKAR and Celtic currently take 40% each of the £17.25m anyway? That leaves £3.45m for the rest? Say the deals reduce to one third, i.e. £5.75m, no Rangers to pay 40% to and Celtic still get 40% of the smaller pie. Celtic would get £2.3m and that would leave, £3.45m for the other clubs. Under the above scenario, the remaining non old firm clubs would be totally unaffected. I heard these 40% figures on the radio yesterday, it's complete nonsense. Whoever finish 1st gets 17% and whoever 2nd gets 15% - a maximum of 32% between them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Does the new proposal have a clause which states Sevco MUST win the first division? Only the contracts handed to the refs. If you thought the old firm got the decisions in the SPL could you imagine sevco in the 1st? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Same. He is the absolute stereotype of every useless senior manager rolled into one. In his defence, his job is to, and I quote, "Maximise the commercial value of Scottish Premier League football by fully exploiting commercial rights and properties" not to ensure sporting integrity. Its in the mission statement (Link, Warning: you may lol out loud) of the SPL. I have a feeling that any other SPL Chief Exec would be doing the same thing. That said, his underhand tactics of blackmailing SFL clubs into accepting Rangers in Division 1 or creating SPL2 or bribing them £1m makes him a grade A c**t Thinking about it though, the silence from Celtic Park has been deafening on this whole subject. Makes me wonder what Mr Lawwell is saying to Neil Doncaster. After all, Celtic are the club who stand to lose the most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_j Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Itll affect Berwick because one way or another the £1.9M Annual Settlement will, somehow or another, be torn up and taken away from the SFL clubs… We're in the blac and posted healthy profit last year. Living within our means - some other clubs would do well to follow that lead. Also - if you believe Cockwomble's scaremogering then fair enough Either way you are right it WOULD affect us - we'd just have to cut back a bit - worth doing. Wonder how we all survived before TV deals? any club with 130years of history must be doing something right Edited July 3, 2012 by marty_j 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The SFL chairmen need to hold their anal nerve over this and say NO to NEWCO then pass back to SPHell, then we will see who the real culpritsare in all this!!! With you there. With a little luck the SFL looks like it might break the 50/50, let alone the 75/25 vote. SFL clubs have shown up the SPL for the craven mess it is. It's time to ditch the SPL and bring everything together under one group, though NOT this season and NOT for the benefit of the SPL tv deals and zombie lovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So, SPL contracts require Rangers in the SPL in 2013/14..... so SFL1 literally needs to be rigged for Rangers to win it?! Seems reasonable to me. They don't want them in the SPL directly, so they're going to demand they go into division 1 and then make sure that Rangers win it. Hurrah for sporting integrity! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Chicks view from 2002 "When they conduct the post-mortem on the death of the once-beautiful game in this country, there will be only one verdict: suicide. The killing of Scottish football will be self-inflicted. But it won't have fallen on a sword or swallowed an overdose. This is death by financial strangulation - and it put the noose around its own neck. What have we done to the old man? For 100 years, he strode along fit and healthy and financially stable, but now he is all but battered into submission, ready to give up the ghost and I don't know whether to be angry or sad.... But I have a problem with clubs who can eject their debt by going into administration and then resume normal service in the same division while former employees - and not just players - are left drowning in a sea of debt. It is morally wrong. " My, my Mr Young. How one's opinion changes over time.. John McVeigh is a tit Don't forget a certain Mr Hugh Keevins, who at the time was using his column to state that Morton should be killed off as a consequence of being driven into the ground by an asset stripper. Presumably as we didn't say 'we were duped' at the first available moment. Within twelve months he had volte-faced to support the reconstitution of Airdrieonians, marking him out as an object of hypocrisy. Hugh Keevins will never be welcome at or discussing our club. It'll affect Berwick because one way or another the £1.9M Annual Settlement will, somehow or another, be torn up and taken away from the SFL clubs… Chicken feed. How does Morton's share of that figure contrast with our annual £300,000 shortfall in the financial wilderness that is the First Division, or against a mass boycott of fans if clubs sell our league place down the river? The Record and Doncaster have been using the Seville calculator to try and calculate some massive financial loss coming to the SFL. It is bollocks. The massive financial loss was already felt around 15 years ago when a group of clubs decided they did do walking away, for the benefit of their own financial greed. With any luck, the aftershocks of this saga will lead to the complete and utter collapse of the SPL. It is not fit for purpose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macshimmy Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Just watched the Turnbull Hutton interview this morning, and I doff my cap to him. He's obviously tired of the whole damn thing, worried about the consequences of speaking out given the threats made against Raith after McCoist unleashed the hounds the last time, but still won't shut up and do what he's told out of fear. Hero. Link here (got to watch the stoopid ads tho as its STV) Edited July 3, 2012 by Macshimmy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
