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.

Here’s mad idea. If the other teams want to split the gate money they money generated by away fans should go to the away team. Seems fair to me.
I had to laugh at this thread on Rankersmedia
Scottish Challenge cup
If Dundee do take our place then we get Brechin,
Bring it on,

A quick squint back reveals the abusive black heart of a true Hun berating one of our finest CQNers, BJMac.
May he forever be denied access to the Gazebo, then again without a ST little chance of him being closer to Paradise than say, Govan.
BJMAC see you on Sunday with the true supporters.

The situation with Fraser Forster and the keeper post at Celtic is Carouselambra. I can’t understand why such big club depends on young man’s will ?
Isaksson might be for off at PSV. They have Polish Przemyslaw Tyton as the first choice.

Well placed source inside SFA, briefed me throughout DALLASGATE and did not get a foot wrong.
Celtic are right not to comment. SFA are commiting suicide!
It was obvious right from the start that if the huns were out of the SPL the other 11 clubs would use the situation to their advantage.
I don’t understand why people are surprised.
The one way to stop, or reverse, the idea of shared gate money is to have the huns back in the SPL and restore the Old Firm.
Morning all from gay Paree, wierdest weather I can remember, thunderstorms again (23C max)
I’m losing track in the Hun’s critical path…
Is it today that Chuckle Green goes cap in hand to the SFA (with all the necessary documents) to apply for SFA membership?
If so, it’s a major milestone.
Embdy know?

I think Celtic could offer that at Celtic Park as a concession, without asking for it to be applied across the board.

Warm Summer morning here in the Chiltern…
Interesting lead by Paul on the BBC revelations.
I’m fairly comfortable about it, Celtic have the largest Season Ticket holding in the country, they wouldn’t be able to take any of that I would suggest.
They have tried to fix the NewCO Phoenix for months without success, this latest farcical fudge has less chance than the previous ones me thinks.
However
The fact that the so called authorities are persisting with these shams is certainly disconcerting, why do these men continue to conspire?
What are they so frit about that an open, transparent process implementing the rules and regulations in a fair manner is the last thing they’ll do?
Desperate men can be dangerous, that is why it is essential that we have the likes of Paul to shine the light in these dark recesess, Celtic are not known for their counter attaking but it is a skill we may need to develop.
We all remember Alex’s threat “Celtic Can’t prosper without R@ngers.”
This is very strange.
Four attempts at the same post,and none came up.
It’s not gonna win me a Pulitzer Prize,but it’s bugging me,so gonna keep trying!

Out of character for me really to question a post, but i take this one as a personal insult.
“True Supporters” seems you suggest that you need to attend CP on a regular basis to get in “your gang” ?
Being over 2000 miles from CP rules us kind of guys out then eh?
Bearing in mind this one here has 2 “SB” for CP that is gifted to my Bro & Sis every season. (not been in CP since 2001)
But i have missed one game away from home in European competition in 9 years, for that i apologize profoundly.
Would you like to converse in share issues while were here?

Christmas has come early.
My champagne is still on ice as it has been for two years since Phil Mac Giolla Bhain( god bless him) informed us all that they were in serious financial and possibly legal danger.
The said bottle of bubbly will be popped by a guy with the biggest smile on his face when the rubber stamp of liquidation is finally slammed on their file.
KTF folks.
I remember they had a debate with all club chairmen etc 1 night for the way forward with Scottish Football and Steven Pressley etc was on it and he made some good points.
I also remember Longmuir and i always thought he looked very friendly with Regan and co, check these tweets so i wouldn’t be surprised if the talks to get a newco in then was in place.
@celticservant: Two quotes from SFL chief executive David Longmuir coming up. Spot the difference.
@celticservant: David longmuir 17/06 There would be no provision for any newco Rangers to go into the First Division rather than the Third Division.
@celticservant: David Longmuir 28/06: The SFL is trying to address the question of whether we can accommodate a solution to the Rangers FC scenario.
Good morning fellow Celts from grey London town … Dry for the time being
All these latest proposals are guff! Nothing will change in 12/13 season structure-wise
Not gonnae happen
Sevco are in 3rd tier …at best methinks they cannot get ready in time… Aye Ready? …eh naw!
We debate 13/14 in the next year
Personally not too bothered about a slight share of home gate 10pc maybe 15pc

Amidst all the media smokescreen and drama yesterday did I imagine that I read somewhere that the FPLG didn’t turn up for training??
Would this not be considered strange??
Did the police not also turn at up Murray Park too, was there any more on these stories..
Hmmmmm
Nope,still didn’t come up,so for the blinkin’ SEVENTH time,my reply to
ERNIE LYNCH 0752
You are being disingenious here-the board believe Celtic need Rangers,with their history of systematically cheating us,to prevent the other clubs,erm,systematically cheating us?
I’ve tried to make a fairly inoccuous reply to ERNIE LYNCH’s post at 0752 about the same number of times as TOM McLAUGHLIN has said there will be no version of Rangers playing next season.
Not one of them got posted.
I am very puzzled by this. My paranoia is being force-fed!
And believe me,I have feasted at that table over the years…….
Morning CQNer’s
from a dreich and wet ML1.
I must say I like the sound of the big French ch, Matt Mills ?
Also today linked with some Swedish GK.
I would like to see Dundee utd’s Johnny Russell in the hoops.
Hopefully Neil will continue to polish up some of the youngsters
as well. Last but, not least…Stevie Frail or, John Kennedy should
be promoted to replace Alan Thompson. imo.
AT, thanks for skelping the huns during your
time at CP. AT-YNWA.

If James Mason shows up I’m outa here.
So this morning we are told that not having NewTeam in Div 1 will be financially catastrophic for Scottish football. If that’s the case why was it not financially catastrophic each and every year until now, when there was none of the proposed revenue sharing?
Just how stupid do these people think we are? Apart from anything else, they’re clearly not learning the biggest lesson from this whole saga and that’s that a concerned and motivated group of people will dig up and analyse the truth of any situation with far greater speed and depth than any of hte major parties involved.
It’s got to stop.
Paul McBride Q.C.
Sorely missed by Timdom. imo.
Paul McBride Q.C.
RIP.
Ernie – I agree. Been saying for a while – let the away club sell whatever number of tickets Celtic agree to give them at the start of each season (which would be based on previous numbers turning up plus a certain number over this to allow for a club like Hearts or Aberdeen having a good run and bringing a bigger support. For atmosphere and entertainment I’d be quite happy to see thousands of Dons fans at the ground in a top of the table clash. Hearts? Not so much…….

A message to all Chairman being harassed and threatened and intimidated…
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Rudyard Kipling
A genuine quote from the Daily Record this morning:
‘McCoist will have been delighted to hear 13 players turned up for pre-season training.’
This was You could not make this stuff up. 13 players? Delighted? I assume it’s because the kitchen staff had catered for 20 and Sally got the left overs?
