Rangers Into Administration

[Tord31]

I see the SFL vote is going ahead on Tuesday rather than Thursday now.

 

Sensible.

 

Shambolic that Dundee, Dunfermline, Airdrie, Stranraer and NewcoRangers don't know what division they are playing in only 23 days before the first competitive fixture, and only 14 days before the first competitve fixture of the Scottish Football season (St Johnstone in europa action).

[Karl Fletcher]

Hope Dundee come up.

as soon as the huns were liquidated, they should have been told they are applying to SFL 3. Applications should have been welcomed from all sides. the decision should then have been made based on which team has enough signed players, has a ground which they currently own to play in and a team that has a SFA membership.

 

If the huns did not make that criteria then tough shit.

 

Instead we have this shitty mess that is scottish football.

 

23 days to go, the huns have no team, no membership and I'm not sure what the score is with Ibrox any more. Still we see squabbling over who should have the bastards.

Spot on VDA.

Yep, McLaughlin changed his mind

 

Confirmed on SFL website:

 

Scottish Football League clubs are, over the next few days, being asked to make a crucial decision as to whether we are in a position to accommodate Rangers into the SFL. I can confirm that, at this point, no decision has been taken by the Board of the SFL or by any of our clubs.

 

The time has come for all outside influences and pressures to stop. This is our national game and part of our culture so I ask all other bodies to leave it to those who have been put in this invidious position to make a decision in the best possible interests of our game.

 

I have every faith in the judgement of those clubs and their Boards to make a considered and reasoned decision which will be in the best interests of the game, how it is structured, how it is governed and how it is financed.

 

A specially convened meeting of all clubs is planned for Friday, 13th July, 2012.

Hope Dundee come up.

So do I as they have a much better following than the Pars

 

Confirmed on SFL website:

 

 

oooh! BLACK Friday

So do I as they have a much better following than the Pars

 

 

 

 

oooh! BLACK Friday

Administration - Valentines Day

Rejection from the SPL - Independence Day

Removal from Scottish football entirely? - Black Friday

 

How poetic would that be?

[Old Wing Stand]

Goram on SSN speaking some shite about having a vote of no confidence in Green last night !

Says Bomber Brown will come up with the money Green wants next week and he will have to sell

It doesn't really bother me who comes up but I would say that Dunfermline should be back in the spl as this all happened in the season and close season that they were part of the spl, therefore relegation should be void.

I lobbed a Hun book into the Ancient History section of Waterstones the other week.

 

It amused me for the rest of the day anyway

I once got thrown out of there for putting that McCann wify's book into the fiction section

[Crossbow]

AFC come out and state that footballing budget is unaffected by newco fiasco. Stewart Milne = Legend!

 

We weren't paying for new players before the orcs were kicked oot and it isn't going to start now.

 

All joking aside - AFC have dealt with budgetary questions brilliantly for once - have we hired someone with PR experience - or just stopped taking Willie's advice?

Absolutely. It also doesn't sit well with me that Dundee would benefit from Rangers termination considering they've been in administration twice in the last 10 years and got away with paying their creditors 2p in the pound last year. And this wasn't HMRC (although they were owed some), the majority was to small local businesses (newsagents, bakers, tradesmen etc).

 

It's bad enough that Motherwell were the team that benefited most last season.

Without Rangers and Dunfermline relegated, does there not need to be another 2 teams in the SPL?

 

Or have I missed something?

[360]

Oh yeah, County got promoted...

Are you forgetting a certain Highland team?

Stenhousemuir FC = Huns

[fine-n-dandy]

Stenhousemuir FC = Huns

 

 

Fkn sell out scum been bullied by Doncaster & co because Doncaster & co have agreed to certain contracts that should never have been allowed.

These contracts are the main problems & are the main reason that the huns may escape the full & RIGHTFUL punishment they deserve & the punishment that any normal club would be given except the OF

Fit's worrying me is that most of these teams said they were in the No camp before they had that meeting the other day and were sent away full of threats facts to think again. Just hope they all still hold their nerve and not bottle it like Stenhousemuir

[fine-n-dandy]

I hope one of the "wee diddy" SFL clubs comes out & grasses up the undoubted bung offers that will be made & let's everyone know who is making the offers.

 

Cos am damn sure there will be plenty of underhanded bribery going on.

It is important to include SPL clubs because this cannot happen without their compliance.

That's not acceptable. Fans of other clubs need to demand answers.

Email fired off to the club asking them to call an EGM against Doncaster, Regan, Ogilvie and Longmuir.
