Chaotic life of SPL chief exec

957

The seemingly chaotic life of the Scottish Football League chief executive, David Longmuir, appears more predictable after First Division clubs made their feelings on league reconstruction known. Significant amounts of trickle-down money is available from the SPL to second-tier clubs from next season if they vote to merge the league organisations, which is likely to result in an 18 team bottom league. Longmuir managed to put a spoke in the wheels of a considerable majority in favour of reconstruction but his hopes will be denied.

Three weeks ago we reported speculation that Longmuir aspired to a job at Newco Rangers. Yesterday he responded by saying, “I know there are different expressions of conspiracy going on but I don’t deal in conspiracy, I deal in fact and honesty”. You can bookmark that for future reference.

I predict that the conspiracy will soon merge with fact and honesty – if Newco can still afford to recruit next season.

    I think Rangers will suffer an Al Capone/IRS incident. Meaning, that something, or someone unexpected, will crumble the whole ediface.

     

     

    They are sailing very close to the wind on the Pheonix thing. I’m far from an expert but this must really rattle the BDO & HMRC cages, they despise this kind of brass necked behaviour by SPIVS.

     

     

    The Advertising Standards Complaint/investigation about them spouting to be the ‘most successful club in Scotland’ is a case in point. Completely out of left field and a cracking conundrum for the brothers.

     

     

    I refuse to be surprised at anything in this case now but I truly believe in Karma.

     

     

    I’m actually swithering now from calling them Sevco, The Rangers, Rangers (IL), Rangers IFC etc. and thinking about banging the drum for them to be recognised as100% Rangers with all the rotten baggage that they bring with them……………then watch them collapse as the bills for their tainted trophy’s and titles are presented.

     

     

    I firmly believe that when this season is over, chairmen and treasurers will look at their books and realise that this has been a very good season indeed.

     

     

    The death of Rangers will be like a breath of fresh air, not only for football but society.

    Any politician using the murderer of 6 children to justify their policies is losing the debate.

     

     

    Sad, sad day when politicians descend to the same level as the Daily Mail headline writers.

    “It must also be noted that Mr Longmuir does not seem to be showing any leadership in ‘Community club’ Dunfermline Athletic’s hour of need.”

    Completely agree but it suits the capitalist agenda too perfectly to miss.

    Stringer Bell @11:36 would you like that vicious little thug to be rehabilitated in a house next door to you?

     

    Saudi Arabian justice takes into account the victim.

     

    It attributes responsibility.

     

    2 features lost from our system.

     

     

    There is a section of society in favour of burning Philpott & co. at the stake.

     

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     

    If the system was incapable of making mistakes…I remember the ‘string ’em up!’ attitudes expressed about the Birmingham 6, in fact one of the most senior law lords stated that ‘…had they been hanged, no one would have made a fuss…'(referring to the campaign for the appeal).

     

    Saudi Arabia’s barbarism allows the wealthy to offend with impunity whilst the poor are subjected to torture and death without recourse to a fair trial or representation. This would appeal to most Daily Mail readers, as long as they’re not in the dock!

    “Claiming benefits didn’t make Mick Philpot a murderer any more then medical school turned Harold Shipman into a killer.”

     

     

     

    Any more than being of the peerage or going to Eton or being a merchant banker or stockbroker caused Lord Lucan to murder and defraud.

  12. BTW

     

     

    re “Saudi Arabia is their country”

     

     

    The people of Saudi Arabia have no vote or influence in their country’s actions and laws. Hey, but they’re our despots aren’t they?

    Absolutely.

     

     

    I’m also dismayed its the 18-34yrs generation that is showing the greatest support for the coalitions/IMF’s capitalist agenda.

     

     

    I’m very sadden to see our young movers and shakers actively supporting politics that are turning back the social advances of the last 50 years and taking us back to the 1950’s.

    Aye, when will they cries of “they’ve been punished enough” start?

  16. Just had a Turkish haircut and inevitably talked football. Fenerbace mhan with Celtic minded Scottish wife.

     

     

    He talked about the wide ranging prices available at home, dependant on seating, standing areas and – get this- areas where you could use flares etc…

     

     

    £10,£18,£30 & £55 depending on what matchday experience you wanted. Not based on age.

     

     

    We are far too strict here. Yes we have had tragedies and we have learned, but we have swung too far into the safety zone. IMO

     

     

    Bottom line…better price structures with different zones offering a different experience.
