Gang of 10 plan creates 41 winners and only one loser

983

Q. There will be 12 teams in the SPL next season.  How many do you think stand to gain from the redistribution of income proposed by the Gang of 10?

A. 11.

Q. There will be 30 teams in the SFL next season.  How many do you think stand to gain from the redistribution of income proposed by the Gang of 10?

A. 30.

Although TV and commercial money will be diluted, it is a sideshow compared to the real cash cow remaining in Scottish football, the gate money at Celtic Park.  The Gang of 10 refused to exclude this option from their proposed change in voting rights.

A 20% share of gate money doesn’t have sufficient support from SPL clubs, too many losers.  A 30% gate share only has one loser, everyone else wins, including the club who took 87 fans to a league game at Celtic Park last season.

This is nothing to do with Sevco, who are unlikely to pull a financially viable plan together (although the SPL and SFA are still trying).  You’re being asked to open your wallets and pay for the upkeep of 42 stadiums, squads, boards of directors and kit men.

This is not a viable plan.  It’s time for Scottish football to admit defeat.  Sport has been subverted for over a decade to the point there is nothing left.  We can keep Hampden and the national team going, but there is no viable league structure.  The sooner we accept this and move on the better.

  1. Aberdeen have officially said NO to rangers in Division 1.

     

     

    Dungcaster, please go NOW! Before you embarrass Scottish football any further.

     

     

    I was all for Celtic staying quiet but the silence is deafening now…

    Time for Scottish football fans to start saying #DoncasterMustGo along with #NoToNewco . Rangers in SFL1 would simply show no accountability

  3. Tottycam pans to a crying german woman in the crowd, Lawrenson states “I’ll get the kleenex out”.

     

     

    Oh dear.

    All im asking tonight is a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in Doncaster not a lot to ask is it.

  6. Mountain_Bhoy is Neil Lennon on

    James Forrest, great post. Your spot on, quite a few of the SFL and SPL chairmen have alluded to what your jist is. They have stated they will make decisions when they have adequate information. There is no adequate information in that document. Fag Packet stuff, incredible to believe such incompetents are in charge of the National Sport and multi million revenue business environment.

    Was about to post something similar. If he says something insightful about tactics as a pundit I will eat my cat.

     

     

    BBC has gone all clique and boot room macho.

     

     

    I blame Alan Green.

  8. Have to say, I’ve just about had it with Scottish football. There’s nothing enjoyable about watching a league being rigged for cheats.

     

     

    And god forbid if Celtic have had anything to do with this. It would be a disgrace that I could never ever reconcile with.

  9. Question for our gambling experts

     

    What odds would you give me that rangers/govan disunited will be playing scottish league football next season (12/13)?

    As ever, Paul 67 nails it. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/rangers/108457-spl-threaten-breakaway-league-if-sfl-clubs-do-not-agree-to-rangers-plans/ Time to bring the curtain down on football in this country. We need out. A system run by huns for huns. Witness all the PR guys at the SFA over years – Shorthouse, Broadfoot et al – District Bar buddies. Says it all. As RTC said, Scottish Football has all of the integrity of the WWF – with hun victory pre-ordained. This club should never see the light of day for the crimes it has committed, let alone have football bend over backwards to accommodate it. Time for us to apply our own economic power and pull the plug on the whole corrupt charade. Stick it to Sky, stick it to ESPN, stick it to Bomber Brown and his illiterate ilk, stick it to the Daily Ranger and above all, stick it to Regan, Ogilvie and my favourite hate figure, Doncaster. To think we were accused of paranoia when the preferment was at least nuanced. Outrageous, brazen, shameless, despicable. Never to be forgotten or forgiven.

    Good job you put that ‘nearly’ in there.

    I think it was South of Tunis who posted a couple of days ago that the Italian media (and therefore manager) were already talking about the weakness of the two German centre halves and the spaces between/behind them. How prescient. Worth a repost if it was SoT.

  15. tommytwiststommyturns on

    Z, VP – you will get a cracking in-play price if you want to place a bet on the Germans. Maybe 2-2 in 90 minutes and on to extra time?

    Balotelli’s strike an inferior version of Hooper’s finish against the Huns in their last ever game at Celtic Park
