If this comes to pass, I will be sickened. I have already booked my flights for the euro match in Perth. I will happily not waste my precious days off, and forfeit these flight if Mr Brown or STJFC are shown to be in any way complicit with this. I dont get over enough to justify a season ticket, but was half heartedly contemplating buying one on the back of the "NO to Newco" announcement, to support the club. Glad I didnt bother....

Dear Mr Doncaster, Please explain to me how it is possible to relegate a club/team from a division or league it does not play in? Yours sincerely, The life blood of Scottish football.

Dear Mr Brown. Integrity (sporting and otherwise) can not be bought. It would appear that it can be sold quite cheaply. Do the right thing.

For fricks sake, i wasnt aware off that. Now my blood is really boiling. Does this carry if rangers are officially liquidated on Thursday? Surely in the event of this, a.n.other should be entered? Any way, wiki as a source of signed players?

as in, you would rather have kept Parkin than say... Sandaza?

I am reading it as media mouthpieces for Rangers and Dumb&Dumber are suggesting HMRC would be happy with this. As with everything else around this whole disgrace, I will believe it when it happens.

me too, hope it coincides with euro game....

No, Rangers would only have points deducted if they did not fulfill fixtures. This I believe is about a newco applying for a license for the SPL next season. Personally I believe this should be denied, for many reasons. Dunfermline still finished bottom and will be relegated. Dundee finished runners up, so would be in line to take a vacant spot in the SPL. Dunfermline would only have stayed up if rangers folded before seasons end.

how come? He is 100% correct.

Yup. What he said.

Thanks, Stevensan. Essentially what I have supposed all along, just havent bothered working out the sums. Figures are essentially guess work, but the exact shakedown is irrelevant/unknowable. The important part is that clubs survive in the first div on enforced reductions to revenue, why cant they do like wise at the top table, for all the reasons listed in your blog? Keep up the good work. COYS (& FTOF)

I try to tell my self to ignore the trolls, but this guy has some merit, in the purely comedic sense. As if Alf Garnett was able to work a computer.....

In fairness, he was a panic signing when it seemed we were missing out on sheridan, then along came haber and sandaza. Good luck Carl.

At the moment, davidson.

stand up, blah blah blah... much rather a few meaningful game against the coagies the the currant buns...

oh, bah humbug! let them up to the big boys playground. Let us hump them a couple of times. let them drop back down to their level. I thank you!

Not sure I can disagree with you. A few "i"'s to dot and "t"'s to cross. We will have a clearer idea the other side of the weekend.

Whut?

we did not get pumped... 3 breakaway goals, and if it hadn't been for barthez....

bugger me! Why would ANYONE want the status quo to remain? Fantastic reading, and food for thought for all chairmen (and managers) who think Scottish football is reliant on the current duopoly

Jeezo. That pretty much describes Lomas as a player (omit the world class bit) and that was why I respected him as a player and was delighted when he became our manager. If he can fill the side with average/slightly above average players with a desire to win and a commitment to give 100% every week, then I will be a happy bunny again. Whether he gets these from youth teams or the reserve side of EPL clubs is neither here nor there. I can think of a few players who have come up to us with "enhanced expectations" and reputations because we had signed them from top flight or 2nd level english clubs. the majority of them were not any better than players we had. (as for those we signed from non league/bottom tiered clubs.... a couple of gems, but mainly dross) I notice with interest a few clubs sending scouts to scandinavia again. Have we missed a trick? And dont bother looking over here... nothing to see, move along.

Really? 2nd and 3rd best keeper int the league at a 6th placed club punching above their weight? we are doing fantastically well to have them here

mwah

I do think Enckleman is a good keeper, But Mannus is also good. If I could only keep one, I am sorry to say it would be mannus, because when Encks has an off day, it last for weeks. Mannus is a great shot stopper, but seems to have a problem making the ball stick, not an issue for Encks. Jeez, I am talking myself in circles, both are better keepers than Saints deserve but (flips a coin) Mannus would be my first choice.

Ah, nothing like a good bit of back biting and bitch fighting to make you feel like a man again....
