EdinburghPar1975 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Part of me feels that the SPFL should call the bluff off Rangers and their pals and say they'll agree to an independent inquiry but advise the clubs that to keep it independent they will all pay for it, jointly choose the authorities to complete the inquiry and that the cash to pay for said inquiry will come from their final payments....oh, and since the Championship, L1 and L2 have already been paid they'll need to pay back their share.....wonder how that would go down? Tomorrows meeting (is it still on??) will be very interesting. I reckon it'll either be all out mud-slinging, accusations and legal teams after it or it'll be 'resolved', the league called and planning for next season being started. I will be surprised if following the meeting Rangers aren't the last ones standing in opposition... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way for a truly independent inquiry to be paid for would be from the SFA some mite say they're one in the same but the SFA have a gripe for the HL/LL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Dunfermline's telt in full: I have said many times over the last couple of months, there are much more important things happening in our community and the wider world at present, than football. These matters should be our priority. In that context, it is not only regrettable but extremely embarrassing, that I have to provide this statement following the release of accusatory comments in a Club Statement made by the Chairman and CEO of Inverness, I am sadly now left with no option but to put the record straight. The individuals have been very careful not to mention me by name, but their intended target is clearly apparent. In life, you stand and fall by your reputation and your actions, and I thank the very many people from other clubs who have contacted me since these “leaked” WhatsApp messages first surfaced, to offer their support. I like the company I keep. Since the SPFL director’s resolution was first issued, a number of clubs in the Championship would confirm it is the behaviour of Inverness that has continually been aggressive and confrontational. However, no one felt it necessary to win points in public, as robust conversations take place in the normal course of a competitive business like football. Turning to the “allegation” regarding the information that was conveyed by me to Inverness FC, on Friday 10th April 2020. As confirmed by their own leaked What’sApp message group, I clearly did so as Dunfermline Athletic FC Chairman and NOT as an SPFL Board Member (as was expressly agreed and verified, before the call with other Championship clubs). It most certainly wasn’t a threat, simply a potential consequence of their action not to back the SPFL resolution currently put in front of them, in favour of a counter resolution which was being mooted at that time. This resolution would effectively have the same consequence as a “null and void” conclusion to the league season, but the SPFL central distribution monies would still be provided to clubs on their current standing. This was not going to be acceptable to Dunfermline Athletic, Alloa Athletic, Greenock Morton, Queen of the South and Arbroath. This had been openly highlighted the previous evening, during a video conference call of all but one Championship club, and raised by two Championship clubs at the time. This meeting was set up by me in good faith. Therefore, the communication to the Chairman of Inverness, on Friday 10th April was that any vote in favour of an alternative resolution like this, should the existing one fail, may be entirely dependent on all clubs in the SPFL Championship obtaining an equal (“one tenth”) of the attributable distribution pot for the Championship. There are many more things I would like to say, but I will retain my dignity and continue to be more concerned about the long term future of Scottish football at this time. The endless point scoring is becoming tiresome, and I would have preferred to rise above it, but I have a duty to protect the reputation of Dunfermline Athletic FC. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 See these "serial statement clubs" - Rangers, Hearts, Inverness, Partick, Falkirk - Have there actually been any of their allegations that have proven to be true? Or - like the all too predictable slapdown to ICT today - are they all clearly just (to use a popular phrase) rooted in self interest?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
