HibeeJibee Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Aberdeen statement. My link Aberdeen Chairman Stewart Milne has given his reaction to today's decision by the Scottish Football League to accept Rangers NewCo's request to join the SFL as an associate member and subsequently admit them into the third division. "Following the SPL meeting last week and the vote to refuse Rangers NewCo admission to the SPL we felt that that the SFL clubs should be left alone to decide whether to grant Rangers NewCo associated membership of the SFL and, if this was approved, which division they should be in. We acknowledge that today they have made that clear decision. It is now time to move on. "We will work together with the remaining SPL clubs on the season ahead and ensuring everything possible is done to secure the continuing support of our broadcasting and sponsor partners with Rangers NewCo in the SFL. "Once the season is underway this will offer the opportunity to carry out a comprehensive review of the league structure going forward that will meet the aspirations of the Scottish football supporters, improve the quality of senior football in Scotland, bring about long term financial stability for senior clubs and place football at the heart of our communities. "Finally I would like to address Aberdeen supporters directly. The challenges facing every club in Scotland going forward are severe, not least to our own club. I urge every single Dons supporter to get behind the Club, and the time to do that is now, as we face these challenges that have come about as a result of this situation which was not of our making." Contrast this with Inverness's whining. EDIT: Also that doesn't sound SPL2-minded. Edited July 13, 2012 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 SFA CHIEF EXECUTIVE STEWART REGAN"In light of today's decision by the members of the Scottish Football League, the Scottish FA is committed to leading the challenge to reinvigorate the national game. "This challenge requires the collective effort not just of the Scottish FA but the respective league organisations and all member clubs. "Today is a watershed for Scottish football. There will, undoubtedly, be financial consequences on the horizon. None the less, with togetherness, an open mind, and innovative thinking, there can also be opportunity: opportunity to restructure the game and promote competitiveness, to place greater emphasis on development of young Scottish talent and to support the financial sustainability of clubs through the Financial Fair Play model.. "The Scottish FA has offered guidance and support to the respective league bodies during this process. The SPL and SFL enter a crucial phase ahead of the new season and they must reach agreement on the practical issues that require to be addressed within their jurisdictions.. "Ultimately, there must be an outcome that enables Scottish football to move on with consensus, clarity and confidence into a new era for the national game." At least we now know the new name of Sevco - Competitiveness Rangers... Is this man seriously this mental? How many more votes does he need to get the message that nobody wants his corrupted and sleazy agenda. Please quit now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
