I’m assuming this is utter push, unless anyone has heard anything? Saints would be one the last teams in Scottish football to go into admin over this. Low basic wage, cash in the bank, loads of players out of contract soon. It’s those middle sized clubs that are in trouble. Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen. it’s the same in England...it’s those mental championship teams who must be worried. Paying big salaries but not quite being able to subsidies them with the mega Sky money.

mainstand Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Strange meeting f SPFL clubs today, Firstly the person advising clubs that rangers would be presenting the evidence next week is a member of the board that they are reporting on, which i think raises questions about his validity to hold office in such a role. If you are on a board that is carrying out illegal activities than surely you do something about it right away through official channels and not running away hiding it for a couple of weeks. Dundee United send a guy along to represent them who is sacked and leaves the club immediately after the meeting. As for the dossier of evidence, Some excellent tweets doing the rounds alleging that part of the evidence Rangers have relates to an invoice that was leaked on line after Dundee changed their vote showing a former celtic director paying them millions. Who will produce evidence first Trump on China or Rangers on SPFL both created by deluded leaders trying to pander to the masses. south inch and HOODLUM65 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is news to everyone else not least to the Catholic Church who, according to catholic friends of mine, are having great difficulty finding enough clergy to run themselves.

south inch Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Bears' Den now claiming "evidence" will be sent to 41 clubs tomorrow. Cue one or two Orcs to ask "why not all 42 clubs"? Abernethy Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their managing director then went on the radio to claim it was never meant to contain anything and was simply a dossier of questions. Hearts are down.

I think a lot will depend on how Rangers* ST renewal sales are doing. If they are going well I can see Rangers* retreating into a what they will see as a dignified huff. The EGM will probably see a lot of noise from the likes of Rangers*, Hearts and a few others followed by a healthy vote against holding an independent enquiry.

Yes, the 200 page "dossier" was probably 1 page, & a nob hit 200 for "number of copies" on the photocopier. Can't see too much to get worried about... they can highlight some technicalities regarding the vote, but I doubt very much that Dundee's vote would've mattered anyway. Certainly not worth a prolonged legal commission. If Sevco & Tarts are so upset, pay for a legal challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The League was always done, because the virus is in charge and there isn’t the cash in Scotland to do what the big leagues elsewhere are planning. I think reconstruction is perhaps still just on the table. With the Rangers* nonsense out of the way, it is possible they might return to it, especially if Hearts go legal. I don’t have much sympathy for the relegated clubs. Perhaps they should have been less pish. My sympathies lie with Brora and Kelty, who actually won things and are being deprived of their chance of a reward. Havana Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 6 of them which was more than enough. The Hootsmon has already claimed 4 clubs, St Mirren, Ross County, Motherwell and us, would vote against reconstruction and it is clear that Hibs made it 5. My bet for the sixth club is Aberdeen who are worried about the finance for their new stadium plans. Not Celtic who I think will be happy to keep their heads down and let Rangers* make a fool of themselves just to stop the title going to Parkhead. What sells season tickets at Ayebroke will do no harm to sales in the Eastend of Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Never been a supporter of Dungcaster as my comments over the years will confirm. However, he has played a blinder by inviting 15 members of clubs to meet re league reconstruction, knowing full well the clubs couldn't/ wouldn't agree on anything. This way he doesn't carry the blame. Must be laughing up his sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Saints said to be one of the 6 that voted against. Wonder if Sevco & Hearts fans will boycott us next season. Oh wait they will not exist next season. Never mind it might allow Brora & Kelty to replace them & solve another problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
