Doncaster Newco proposal doesn’t get the votes

451

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.

  1. from the Hidden Glasgow forums re the slosh.

     

     

    “The dance of choice for inebriated women at weddings.

     

     

    Is this a just a Scottish phonomenon? Do they do the slosh in other parts of the world?

     

     

    Just wondering if there will be a Slosh event at the commonwealth games in Glasgow.”

     

     

    And hands up, who partakes in a slosh?

  2. I once got attacked by 2 midgets fae the circus at the Kelvin Hall. I was in the Exchequer along the road from KH and asked the barman for a hauf and a hauf. Before I knew it I was being set upon by two tiny terrors. I managed to keep them at arms length tho!

     

    I still get nightmares! :-((

    Strange. And even stranger the entry directly above it, for the same amount but pre-Feb, to Örebro SK, another Swedish club who were relegated in 2004 for economic reasons.

    Ha – never spotted that. Seems to be a few strange transactions there.

     

     

    And why have they been allowed to run up an extra £7m of debt to HMRC?

  8. I think everyone should stop all this midget talk.

     

     

    They’re easy targets…small but easy targets.

    Shady

     

     

    I was under the impression that they were NOT ALLOWED to increase their debt during administration and specifically that they must pay all due taxes. However, all I think I know about such things I have learned since Feb 13th. Maybe it’s not the case.

     

     

    But I would like to know what they are paying these 2 Swedish clubs for.

    an OFF the radar tax case maybe

  11. I’m sure I read somewhere that in many of the Royal Courts of Europe midgets fighting monkeys was a very popular form of entertainment. Thank God we have moved on from those barbaric times…would be interesting right enough…just kidding…honest.

  12. Sparkleghirl,

     

    did the huns no have a player on loan from one

     

    of the swedish teams,Bendiksson or something like that

     

    i think he was called

    Well there’s a surprise another fudged decision ,these clowns need to be brought to book and soon .

     

    the game in this country is now beyond saving ,why don’t they just stop messing the rest of us around and tell us ragers will be in the spl next term signing players debt free ,spending money and challenging for the title and if we don’t like it too bad .

  14. •-:¦:-•** -:¦:- SparkleGhirl :¦:-.•**• -:¦:-• on

    Gordybhoy, thanks, will have a look.

     

     

    Are loan deals fixed contracts then? Wouldn’t you send back your loan players to save money under administration?

     

     

    It may be purely coincidence that the sums involved are the same and that one a newco-ed and one been relegated for money problems but it seems a rather trange coincidence. If there was anything in it, it would have been picked up by now I suppose.

  15. Cadizzy:

     

     

    I thought that was going to be midgets doing the slosh…or monkeys on trampolines…I was very disappointed until I played the vid of vigorous shagging in San Francisco…

     

     

    PS

     

     

    I am vehemently opposed to the exploitation of monkeys and midgets- particularly for the purposes of superficial amusement- that is just very wrong.

  16. It’s aalllll ssssllloooowwwweeeeeeddddd ddddoooooowwwwwnnnnn ooooonnnnn hhhhhhheeeeerrrrreeee tttttttooooooddddaaaayyyyyyy.

     

    Are they knuckledraggers no deid YET!

     

    Too much small talk for me.

     

    I like to stand on the shoulders of giants.

     

    I’ll shut up now.

     

    Wake me up when the alarms go off.

     

    War and rumours of war. The world’s gone mad.

     

    btw, ah’m unwell..

     

    …please forgive me for my fevered ravings…: ((
