Maxwells position must be untenable You say that, but Doncaster had the brass neck to see out the Sevco fiasco and still cash his pay cheques at the end of the month. Scottish football administrators do not do dignity nor credibility. Edited June 2, 2023 by vikingTON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 16 hours ago, Dev said: An extract from the Elgin City Chairman's UPDATE on the club web-site: www.elgincity.net/news/latest-news/chairman-update CHAIRMAN UPDATE "The proposed conference league is not going to commence this upcoming season but there is a driving force from the B teams and the SFA to make it happen. There is no input from the SPFL it is the SFA, Lowland and Highland Leagues who are being affected. I just hope we never have to be involved with it. One item that was consistent over the season was the tremendous support we received over the piece. It was not always pretty or entertaining but you all came out rain or shine to cheer us on. The Club never take that support for granted and I assure you all it is greatly appreciated .Graham Tatters" This was from 10th May when the Chairman states clearly: "I just hope we never have to be involved with it." Since then more information has been made available which has seen clubs which were minded to favour the scheme alter their minds to being against. Elgin clearly were not in favour of the idea and never were. It's a clear vote against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a sensible decision with regards to allowing them in the LL for this season, to give the breathing space that has clearly been needed. It has allowed time for consideration and to galvanise support against the Conference, which is great. And I believe Cowden have just announced their opposition to the Conference… -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 What "breathing space" do you think this created? The Conference League proposal would have had to be discussed at the SFA AGM either way, Ian Maxwell and Neil Doncaster can't just create a league out of thin air without approval. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing to think that a highly experienced board of directors wouldn’t have a better grasp on the machinations of the SFA than Craig the Killie fan does.

invergowrie arab Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I admire the faith in a board that has overseen Scotlands worst performing club over the last decade resulting in the the club that finished 20th 10 years ago now being a couple of places above relegation to the EOSL. 2 minutes ago, Cowden Cowboy said: You do realise there is a counter view held by some knowledgeable people that the SFA do have the power to create such a League?

Its articles of association are there in black and white. Its powers and limitations are available for anyone to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
