Kowalski Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 So is this a straight forward vote to put them into Division 3, or was it the originally worded resolution 2? Let's fucking hope its not the later. Quote

maverick sheep Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 STV now reporting newco as saying they believe SPL 2 will soon be formed. Not heard anything about votes of no confidence. Getting rid of those two is of vital importance. Quote

Kowalski Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Rangers' future remains uncertain after the Scottish Football League clubs voted against the Light Blues playing in the First Division next season. "At a meeting at Hampden today, the 30 member clubs agreed to accept Rangers into the SFL but voted against the SFL board being allowed to broker a deal with the SPL and SFA over new structures and procedures which would also include Rangers playing in Division One. "It is now understood that on the back of a briefing SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster and SFA counterpart Stewart Regan gave to clubs last week that the SPL will introduce a plan for SPL 2 - which would include Rangers - and invite existing Division One members to join. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 And here it is, the very end stage of the death of Scottish football to save a poisonous sore of a club. "It is now understood that on the back of a briefing SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster and SFA counterpart Stewart Regan gave to clubs last week that the SPL will introduce a plan for SPL 2 - which would include Rangers - and invite existing Division One members to join." Shut the gates. Quote
Kowalski Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Who from the SPL is involved in this? What is AFC's stance? Season ticket holders deserve know now. Quote
Azteca1903 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Who from the SPL is involved in this? What is AFC's stance? Season ticket holders deserve know now. Absolutely. Also, what if the invited Division One clubs instruct them to ram it? Quote
Mentorred Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 alex thomson ?@alextomo WARNING. Club chairman "Everyone in that room heard that Stewart Regan informed Charles Green that there's no way "Rangers" will be in D3 . alex thomson ?@alextomo That's what really went on. Ignore any guff about "Rangers" definitely heading for D3. This fight has only just started. Quote
Penfold Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 They are just basing that on media reports. We need to hear from the SFa today. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Why does Green keep believing what Regan tells him as to where the huns will be next season? One SFL Chairman has said that the huns will be playing in a league of one should SPL 2 come to pass. Quote
Kowalski Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Jim Ballantyne: "We don't have any control over the SPL. And they are entitled to do whatever they wish, within their own rules. "But it's important to mention that the Division One clubs went out of their way to make it clear that their route regarding a solution involved all 42 teams. "I think that says a lot for them. "Other bodies are going to have to look at the decision we've taken and decide what view they are going to take. "As far as we're concerned, it's crystal clear and it was a massive majority. "The talk of financial meltdown is scary for everybody but that completely ignores the views of the fans. "The fans have been vociferous in their view of what this whole situation may bring. "Every single club would be happy to tell you about the amount of contact they have had from supporters, expressing concern. "I've never know anything like it in the 10 years I've been involved in football." "This one particular completely covers every single club and the message coming across from every club is exactly the same, even from Rangers fans themselves: if they had their choice it would be Division Three. "That reflected the views of First, Second and Third Division clubs. "You have to consider what the actions of fans may be if sporting integrity is challenged. "Who has put a price on what will happen if they do not come to watch games? "Yes, clubs are worried about figures in one direction but there is a huge concern about figures in the other direction. "It's a very brave decision from the SFL but I'm not surprised." Time for Regan and Doncaster to admit defeat and GTF out of Scottish football forever. Quote
Penfold Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Statement from Green suggests they are accepting Division 3 and wish to get back to footballing matters. Whether the SFA will accept it we'll have to see. Quote
Kowalski Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Hamilton can be added to the wank list. Quote
glasgow sheep Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Just been texted from Accies official: SPL to meet on Monday to consider re-admitting them with heavy sanctions. IF this is true then game is a bogey. If aberdeen are in anyway linked they should be utterly ashamed and short of 9000 ST holders Quote
topcorner Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 SPL will be meeting on Monday to discuss the Dundee/Dunfermline situation anyway. No chance they will be back in the SPL. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Caley arranging an emergancy board meeting over the weekend to discuss the major financial implications of today's announcement on their club. Quote
Jute Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 SFA and SPL should be pushed for statments on this today. SPL clubs themselves could of course kill any speculation tonight by saying that they will not vote to form an SPL 2 or readmit Newco to SPL. Bet they don't. Quote
