Rangers

Rangers voted for themselves so I'd guess either Celtic or Killie also wanted them in SPL.

10 against, 1 for, 1 abstention


True figures.

Must have been Killie

No way would Celtic have voted for them, not worth them risking the backlash from their supporters in a vote that in all honesty we already knew the result to, so it was easy for Celtic to vote NO.

Im sure it will come out in the wash who the Yes club or clubs are.

Although cant see why Rangers would get a vote as they arent currently an SPL club

MJ was a stick on as the yesman.That said I wouldn't trust my man an inch.

Nice to see the BBC reporting accurately ...

"SFL clubs met on Tuesday to discuss a proposal for Rangers to enter Division One but, if that does not gain the support of a majority of clubs, they could begin season 2011-12 in Division Three. "

So they are going to be so draconian in their punishment that they are going to go back a year and drop them out of the Premier League from then?!!

 

[Dodger]

Sevco no,Killie abstained.:mmm:

 

[StuartD]

I heard it was Ross County who abstained

 

[smange]

I think there has been some sort of agreement made with SFL clubs.

The scenario I can see happeneing is that SFL clubs vote No to the first division but allow Newco into the third, all saving face with their own support.

Then at the end of next season we have a major restructuring of the league set up with the top league being made up of 16 teams who all meet certain criteria which will be along the lines of the current SPL requirements, this will encompass next seasons SPL teams plus invites to 4 others which will include Newco and the top 3 teams in the first division who meet the criteria laid out.

That way Newco will be seen to have started at bottom and received their punishment plus they will only be away from the top tier for only one season.

Then apparently all will be well with Scottish football as we will have had reconstruction and Rangers will be in top league.

Within a couple of years Scottish teams will rule Europe and our national side shall be challenging to win World Cups and Euro Championships.

All hearsay guys and not that it matters a jot regardless.

 

[Dodger]

Sevco yes I meant lads....sorry,getting carried away in the joy I am feeling.

Sevco yes,Johnston, sorry, Killie abstained.

The only thing that matters is they are not in.

 

[Dodger]

Was the cheating not discussed today?

I am sure it was supposed to be...no doubt they have put it off and will reconvene to talk about it later.

Hilarious quote from a statement made today by Stewart Regan, Chief Executive of the SFA


But Regan bluntly asserted that Scottish football simply cannot afford to have Rangers outwith the top two tiers of the league structure, with his argument not confined to the commercial impact their absence would have.

“Without Rangers, there is social unrest and a big problem for Scottish society,” claimed Regan. “They have a huge fan base and to contemplate the situation where those fans don’t have a team to support, where those fans are effectively left without a game to follow, I just think that could lead to all sorts of issues, all sorts of problems for the game.

“Tribalism in football is really important. It is part of the game. People follow their clubs with pride, it is passed down from generation to generation. There are thousands of Rangers fans whose fathers and parents and grandfathers have been Rangers fans. You can’t contemplate a situation without that and if Rangers weren’t to exist that could have real dire consequences.

All that nonsense from the man running our game and we wonder why its a mess

If that statement alone doesnt cost him his job theres something wrong and while he is resigning can he get that plank Doncaster to do the decent thing as well and sod off back to where he came from.

Once this fiasco is over all these governing bodies need a clear out of all the idiots who have contributed to this dragging on and on.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Good god, this guy is in charge of Scottish Football.
He is sooooooooooooo far off the mark.

The even scarier thought is....who were the people who appointed him.

Another man in charge who's a dyed in the wool bluenose then?

I'm surprised the article wasn't supported by a picture of him next to his pin up of the Queen.

Total and utter idiot.

Interesting that the Old Rangers players are being snapped up by E&WPL teams. Not too much difference between the top of the SPL and the E&WPL then.

We (Everton) have no money so we were glad of SN on a free , i supose there is always the option that we could NOT pay our bills etc & have money to spend & maybe then we could win something , wouldnt be right tho would it ?? or would it ? only teasing ...
Must admit i find that statement by Regan very strange & blinkered, p45 time for that dude id say ..

Still got to pay his wages though Blade.
He was on £15k a week at Old Rangers, plus the usual perks, pension scheme, trust etc.
