I am sure Neil Doncaster’s job is full of stresses and strains but this week will probably be a breeze. Fans of every club in the league appear to be in uproar at the resolutions for an Insolvency Transfer Event to be voted on later this month. Infuriating everyone is surely better than infuriating most but leaving one group happy.
Fans of 11 SPL clubs have reacted in horror that the league seek to introduce a facility to allow a liquidated club to phoenix straight back into the top tier of Scottish football. Fans of Rangers, while along with administrators and bidders for the club are publicly opposed to liquidation, are outraged that this new facility to allow a new club entry to the SPL should carry a sporting and financial inhibitor.
For clarification: the inhibitor is there to ensure clubs have a modicum of moral hazard against gaining an unfair advantage before ditching creditors and their old skins, and emerging in the SPL with player registrations from another club but without the debts or consequences of mismanagement.
Rangers US and Singapore based bidders seem unperturbed by the proposals. Paul Murray’s Blue Knights consortium has curiously lost its tongue. Maybe this helps explain all those years when the EBTs were unopposed by the former Rangers board. Silence, not even an utterance!
There remains three possible outcomes to this issue:
The proposed SPL resolutions will be passed, allowing a Newco straight entry to the League.
The resolutions will fail and the SPL board will vote a Newco into the league anyway.
The resolutions will fail and the SPL board will deny Newco a place in the league.
Celtic Quick News first flagged this scenario in October last year when we predicted Newco would be given a parachute into the SPL, opposed only by Celtic. As the key resolution (2A) requires only 8 votes I still expect this to happen, despite the ‘Bring it on’ view of many Rangers fans to the prospect of starting again from Division Three.
As the financial penalty resolution (2B) requires 11 votes I expect this to fail and no financial penalties to be imposed.
The question for Kilmarnock, Dunfermline, St Mirren, Inverness, Motherwell, St Johnstone, Hibs and Kilmarnock (don’t tell me they’ll not try to get two votes, they have a huge mountain of debt to service and have every right to demand two votes) is, will they listen to their fans or their bank manager?
Dundee United and Hearts, like North Korea, appear convinced of their own superior wisdom and, like a North Korean missile, could head off in any random direction to demonstrate their contempt for clubs scared of providing satirists with material. They could easily vote themselves into a Gorgie-Tannadice League, if they could agree on a Gorgie-Tannadice/Tannadice-Gorgie naming convention.
For now, if you care about any of this, participate in the online SPL Fan Survey. We’ll soon find out who runs Scottish football, fans or the Bank of Scotland! One additional point about democracy, it carries responsibility. In this instance, stopping Newco means fans of all remaining clubs have to step forward in increasing numbers to buy season tickets. This is the cost of sporting integrity.

HT,
You know it will. I was wondering where he was tonight and Lo and behold he appears. I am well thanks. Hope you are too.
Vmhan,
By the sounds of things, you should take a camera crew. But not for the pig/sheep scenes of course :O
JQB
As I head to my bed I’m left with images which no man should have to endure!
Why couldn’t you just have stuck to the poetry :-)
Fred C. Dobbs
Good timing with that one. Just can’t get enough of that video :))
Fortunes Favour Mibbes,
Never a bad time :O).

You are the Mhan FCD.
This year was not about winning anything, it was about sticking together, the thing Neil wanted to bring to the Club. When you are so BIG and so Unified, you can’t be beaten.
Oooh aaaah Allo allo
This cosmopolitan outlook is far too sophisticated for huns all over the planet.

Already told you there is no way on this planet you can do it bare foot. No ?????? Way.
Loch Lomond side – Top half. Bridge of Orchy to Inverarnan. Rannoch Moore, Devils Stair Case Peat and Granite, Mamoores fae Kinlickleven to FW. No four king way.
Done it 3 times and I wouldn’t do it without a decent pair of booties, plenty of warm waterproof clothing and loads of mars bars
*****************
ok my friend but I want to here from locals who walk parts of the west highland way a lot .
FFS I’m only asking, has it ever been done before 1st question
2nd question can I do it?
HT,
it’s ok, it’s just a simple adjustment.
aaah, there we go… just tightin it up now… you’ve got to beware of the snap, as all you musicians out there will know.
Vmhan, by the way. The canoe… the wee Westie’s no much of a paddler, and tends to yap a bit, but she cooks a mean bean stew. There if you want it.
HT,
Jeezo. I just spat a mouthful of Montepulcianno D’Abruzzo all over my iPad.
Time for some hiphopola.

Westie’s cooking a mean bean stew???
The one I grew up with spent her time trying to be the alpha cat and running away when I got jumped.
Just shows, wee westies should NOT be brought up in the Glasgow, but must be allowed to flourish in the highlands where they can protect VMhen from pigs and sheep.
I am indebted to Paul 67, for this great site.
I don’t post much, but read a lot.
In October, when Paul said, “this is were we are folks”, saying our position was fighting motherwell for second, I said we would win the league by double figures, with or without penalties.
Another prominent poster, and site favourite, said, “rangers have won 4 in a row and are well on their way to 5”. All because we were 3 down to killie at half time.
There were numerous calls of, get Lawell, Liewell, Peter the liar, tf.
Tell Lennon, Lemon, the wee ned, to fo.
Good to see we are all singing from the same hymn sheet now, hopefully.
Sorry if this has struck a chord with some, but it just rankles me, when listening to all these “good Celtic men”, and their opinions.
For me, I will be supportive of Celtic, any league, any time, anywhere.
We all know, surely, that thems should be cast asunder to the 3rd division, but in reality, maybe it would be better for us to have them in the spl, just to girut, 4 times a season, and have them playing to their economic strengths.
Loads of us suffered in the 80s and 90s, it was like watching a heavyweight fighting a middleweight, with the taxpayers money to aid them.
So, for me, I would like them reinstated in the spl, hogtied for years, while we rack up 10, 12 14 etc, in a row.
No matter what happens to thems, I will support Celtic, today, tomorrow, always.
Right
thats me an HT away tae bed
I think its time we were honest about this ;)

Don’t recall the “wee ned” bits, but I do know there was a rake of bile coming from hunfiltrators after the first hun game this season. And it was most unpleasant.
Thankfully, they’ve been rarely seen since.
Keep posting your support of Lenny.
Nothing is gonna stop us now.
Shameless plagiarism of philvisreturns excellent contributions to the blog…… I never even contemplated music in this era.
OOH AAH Samaras.

The most bile was coming from our own, unfortunately.
The terms posted relating to our CEO, manager, where coming from our own, unfortunately.
I can smell a hunfiltrator a million miles away, these posts where from our own, this is what it made it so heartbreaking.

Fred C. Dobbs,
All our players will be strengthened by what Neil has faced down, incredible experiences for lots of Young Men.
