Not spending any money on the SFA until newco are dealt with properly. They are all over this plan to rape the fans and dump newco into division 1. They deserve nothing but contempt if they continue to attempt to push it through. Why protect a team that are part of the problem why our National team is so shite?

Taken from the BBC story yesterday:

Helen Mirren statement: http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=13398

I'm not up for waiting for this to all blow over before Doncaster is shown his jotters, he should be shown them now, he is shaming Scottish football - in fact I'd argue for him being hung, drawn and quartered.

So, er, Nadal out!

Yeah but I smell a rat considering Rod "Sporting Integrity" Petrie has already briefed Green on the plan, so I worry we are getting taken for a ride by the SPL. I would love to be proved wrong though.

Good statement, just missing the words "division" and "3" for me.

So rather than a vote to reject newco to the SPL, the clubs are now voting to punt them to division 1? If that is the case, I think we need some clarification on how AFC are going to vote. If they vote yes to this proposal then heads should roll.

Completely agree. Looking like a stitch up, just hope it doesn't happen.

I fear the SFA and SPL will find a way to make it happen.

Wouldn't surprise me if SPL clubs are in on this to protect finances. Definitely no season ticket for me.

Not going back if this happens: I'll be finished with the national team as well.

I bet you've heard that phrase a few times

To be fair Dave, that wasn't the slickest pun in this thread.

What songs should fill a tribute album to the liquidated Rangers? Couple of starters for 10...

That'll be him black balled.

I would've thought it would be to the benefit of Seb Coe to get rid of some of these players anyway. They need to reduce their outgoings plus they'll be in a lower league, no point in spending loads of money on wages surely!?

I heard a story that somebody walked up to him in Amadeus (the night before a Scotland game at Pittodrie many years ago) and asked for his autograph. Said person got Chick to sign a bit of paper, then promptly tore it up in his face and walked off.
