An SPL general meeting today passed several less-significant Financial Fair Play rules (pay your taxes and players) but did not approve a proposal from chief executive, Neil Doncaster, that a mechanism should be introduced to parachute a Newco into the top division in Scottish football for the first time in history.
It would have taken 8 votes to see this controversial proposal pass, which it clearly didn’t get. The SPL reserves the right to vote a Newco in at any point in the future, but those hoping to buy the assets of Rangers were not issued a ticket to the SPL today.
Surprised?
Perhaps connected to the above matter…. The SPL board will this afternoon consider issues relating to allegations Rangers rigged the system for over a decade with dual contracts.
There are too many permutations for me to digest these developments with any accuracy. At first pass, the news appears to be on the upside of what I was expecting earlier in the day.

Hey Kojo!
I’m glad you’re blogging again and I hope you’re feeling good palomine?
Some think you’re a daftie, some think you’re a facist, I think you’re a worthwhile read on CQN.
Welcome back.
What a stooshie the currant buns have caused, all efforts to have us playing in an atlantic League, dutch league, English League – must, must be re-doubled.
Scotland has been rocked tonight that great duo the Alexander brothers have retired Scotland will never be the same again. H.H.
Bassett gave Green all sorts …

THAT is the clearest information I’ve read all day….I love that smell and I never knew it had a name. Ta.
This site is so much more than you’d think.
: )
I think today we have only seen more confusion and muddying of the waters over the Rangers in Administrationn.I cannot help but think this is all part of plan as no decision was agreed today that a newco Rangers could not enter straight into the SPL so they limp on and Charles Green who sat in on the meeting (and you must ask yourself why ) will not be unhappy about the meeting today.We cannot unfortunately tonight rule out the possibility of newco in the SPL next season.H.H.
Zbyszek:
There are a lot of dirty bassets down Ibrox way.
They would give man’s best friend a bad name…give a dog a bad name and all that.

you’re welcome.
smelled it today in Renfield St.

Petrichor ( the smell of rain after a dry spell of weather)
Petrichor ( /ˈpɛtrɨkər/) is the scent of rain on dry earth. The word is constructed from Greek, petra, meaning stone + ichor, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology.
The term was coined in 1964 by two Australian researchers, Bear and Thomas, for an article in the journal Nature.[1] In the article, the authors describe how the smell derives from an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods, whereupon it is absorbed by clay-based soils and rocks. During rain, the oil is released into the air along with another compound, geosmin, producing the distinctive scent. In a follow-up paper, Bear and Thomas (1965) showed that the oil retards seed germination and early plant growth.[2]
=========================================
Brilliant info.
Now to befuddle the unilluminated on days like this by inhaling deeply and sighing out, ‘Aaaah, petrichor…’

What kind of substances induce this kind of hallucination?
“Vanguardbears politely requests that ALL Rangers groups call for the immediate resignation of Stewart Regan AND Peter Lawwell given the ludicrous humiliation the SFA has brought to Scottish Football.
Regan has allowed subsequent panels to contradict the SFA’s own disciplinary procedures and act outwith their remit as layed down in April 2011.
Lawwell CANNOT be allowed to sit as part of the Professional Game Board due to an obvious conflict of interests. Since his installation into the role we have continually seen a steady stream of dubious, and since Lord Glennie’s ruling yesterday, illegal decisions permeate from the SFA headquarters.”
Scotland needs a strong Alexander Brothers.

Following the circulation to creditors of CVA proposals, the SPL Board withdrew the resolution to consider a transfer of Rangers FC SPL share to a newco. No newco proposal is currently under consideration by the SPL.
Was this really put to clubs in this form?
Anyone fancy guessing at how many season tickets we’ve sold so far?
Jobo will provide the answer at 7.30pm.

Stewart Gilmour says the “Laws an Ass”…and the Chief Executive of the SPL is a donkey…and Smudger “is a jenny wae a jig oan its napper”… The loud call or bray of the donkey, which typically lasts for twenty seconds and can be heard for over three kilometres, may help keep in contact with other donkeys over the wide spaces of the natural territories of Ibrox and the SFA HQ…many, including Smudger will be put out to pasture, retire to a Donkey Sanctuary or even eventually go to the Knackers Yard.
