coqofthenorth Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Jim Spence @bbcjimspence Sfa will not allow rfc newco into spl says Stewart Regan Sorry if I've missed this and it's been covered already, but, if the SFA will not allow RFC Newco into the SPL have they given an opinion on RFC Newco going straight onto SFL Div 1? If so, have the SFA given a reason for supporting this view? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 What does it matter now? The SFA have already said that NewCo won't be allowed in the SPL. It matters because their master-plan is still to put Sevco 5088 in the First Division, where they'll automatically go up at the first attempt (easiest league in the world if the football authorities are corrupt), thus securing the finances of 'six' SPL clubs. There is absolutely nothing of merit in this plan for First Division clubs, or any SFL club. For a league on the brink of destruction the SPL has offered very little in the form of sweeteners and an awful lot of unsubstantiated bullshit and threats. They've made a complete mess of the situation and it's up to SFL clubs to deliver the final nail in their coffin. Of course, when the six SPL clubs automatically go down the swanny, there will be no such talk of promoting their Newco into the First 'for the good of Scottish football'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 1341319847[/url]' post='6396246']Exactly - which clubs then? Scare mongering. We're doomed, doomed I tell ya. Yeah well we'll take our chances Celtic Kilmarnock That's it. Make sure these two don't get relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nur-der-swr Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hopefully the reason the propaganda machine of Jim Traynor et al and Cockwomble, the SPL etc are spouting so much barely believable pish is because they are desparate and know that really, anything other than newco to div 3 is almost impossible to deliver, so they are desperately trying to conjure up a game-changing argument for parachuting rangers in. I'd be doubtful that even 6 SPL clubs see a benefit of having Rangers in the SFL 1 if they have any idea of fan outrage on this issue. Doncaster is probably on performance related bonuses, dependent on what money he can raise the SPL through sponsorship, that would no doubt influence his position on where the newco go as much as anything else, as well as being able to put on his CV that he oversaw record sponsorship deals etc. Would suit him better than to say 'I saw SPL revenue drop 50% under my stewardship'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pele1922 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Just watched the BBC news. The lone protester has to be the funniest thing i've seen in ages. Anyone else think we should all take in a Raith Rovers game this coming season. A tribute to the only chairman with Baws in Scottish football. The guy is a legend. The Orcs can win what they like today, but the fact remains they are skint. Nae money, nae proper team and Sally is AWOL! Thats harsh on the Chairmen of these clubs Morton, Dunfermline,Clyde, Peterhead who also all made very good statements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 No, seriously, I don't see why this should be the case at all. If you've got a contract to show matches from the Scottish Football League organisation's First Division, then it's exactly that. Before rebranding the Scottish Football League First Division was called, erm, the Scottish Football League First Division. The top league basically changed its organisational structure and 'Division' to 'League'. There is no Scottish Premier Division to cover games from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoMaSano Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 "Up to". Could be none, then. Yeah, it's language that's very common in advertising circles. eg: "Head and shoulders gives you up to 100% flake free hair" (but so does water) It basically means the square root of f**k all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BELFASTSAINTEE Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 If I was an SFL1 chairman, given this news I'd think, 'Great that's six places at the top table up for grabs. Off to the third with Sevco'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabawsa_Ritchie Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Can someone please explain how the SFA are able to not allow Sevco into the SPL. As the overall ruling body, the SFA grants licences to all leagues in Scotland. If the SFA says that Sevco can't get in to the SPL, then that's final. Happy days. :lol: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'm up to 100% convinced that Regan and Doncaster are scaremongering, blackmailing, pen pushing arse bags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Before rebranding the Scottish Football League First Division was called, erm, the Scottish Football League First Division. The top league basically changed its organisational structure and 'Division' to 'League'. There is no Scottish Premier Division to cover games from. Fair enough as I miswrote that, I was meaning top division. It'd depend on the contract. But in England for example, the breakaway was exactly that - Football League did continue to use it's old division names, award the old trophies, etc. Anyway it's a moot point r.e. Newco Rangers as it's happened. Clauses seem to exist, and Doncaster and Regan are either pretending they'll be enacted (call their bluff) or know they'll be enacted (up to SFL's clubs whether they give 2 hoots).
