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.

Latest news
Googybhoys understands that Rangers are dead. Any Newco has only a few players and no ability to sign players.
Is not In any league and time is running out.
My understanding from a source is that he understands that’ve has been td that the only thing to be understood is that there is a place in Div 3 to apply for but there are no guarantees.
Newco,Blueco….Coco….Ya Clowns.
“we’re right behind ye, John”
“here’s twenty quid”

At what point do the other clubs in Scotland lose patience with all this and the uncertainty and heat it is creating?
Surely the doubt over budgets for next year, fixtures, logistics, time spent on media, fighting fan queries etc is causing risk if not actual loss of income. TV contracts are in place, fixtures are in place. Season tickets are now being renewed. Move on.
The easiest, and most pragmatic, course of action for all Scottish clubs is throw this back at the administrators who are paid to run the game, and say “follow the rule book”.
“Rangers” have caused this uncertainly and from the grave continue to drive the agenda.
Follow the frickin rules and let’s move on.

TLK
STV leads with the “done deal”, Rangers ?? (aka Weekend at Bernies FC), will BE playing in the 1st division next season.
Really ?
NO CHANCE
STV understands that Rangers will ALMOST certainly play in the second tier …blah …blah….blah …will come under CONSIDERATION on Tuesday.
LMFAO

STV football the sports page of the Bunty!!
Breaking news:
Influential backer to Bomber Brown’s campaign to take control down Govan way is none other than Smeeto Smeaton. He wants to enter into constructive dialog with Ibrox owner Chuckle Green, and hopes to use his expertise to calm an already inflamed situation. When asked how he saw the way forward, he said:
“Ye come to Glasgow, we set about ye.”
Fortunes – cheers, I think you’re right, way worse than the wallet.
bourne – cheers, nah, I didn’t. They’ve got cctv, but there’s next to no chance of recovery. More angry with STV news :-)
If the SFA/SPL try to push the promotion of Dundee through i would be amazed if it did’nt end up with Dunfermline taking them to court
“ma bid tae Charles Green right now is…
there’s yer pound back !!”
mooted applause….”yeehhhh awww….ehhh”
in other words….
woops, they’ve DONE us again !!
fur a quid !!!
AGAIN !!
:)
DR…………………Ally Quits
“every one o yeez wul get yer debentures back….we’re gonny gie yeh thum back !”
mooted applause
in other words…..nae chance !!!
So the SPL threaten a breakaway league if the huns corpse is not allowed to enter Div 1.
Do they include Celtic in this breakaway league ? Or are they threatening a breakaway league which contains the Hun corpse and no Celtic ?
STV now going with bonkers posh-student types playing bike polo. Same standard of news as their lead. Pitiful.
Bomber Broon has been quiet today, no? Sobered up mibbes ?
I see the Cowdenbeath chairman has finally come out with his predictably deranged opinion on this.
But who will be the next one to brandish the hun bitchfork?? Durrantie if they can fast track him through detox….
@fritzagrandold: Disregard this as ‘media pi** at your peril.
TopCorner on 28 June, 2012 at 18:27
Perhaps he meant dentures. I understand one of the proposals from the Bomber’s consortium is to offer a discounted dental service for every season ticket sold.
HH
Ole Sally Magnusson seems convinced that Sevco are in Div 1
Alasdair now on BBC, John Pilger eat your heart out.
Mind you they were convinced that they signed Catholics, long before they did.
@STVGrant: This is the document, in full, sent to SFL clubs today proposing Rangers are put into the First Division http://t.co/UMbgaeqF

Please Vogue accept my humble apology, it was thoughtless of me and like you I whiled away many a pleasant hour reading ma wee sisters Bunty!
@fritzagrandold: @mdkster SPL chairmen know all about it. SPL2 being used as threat.
that document is an affront to any notion of sporting integrity.
what an absolute disgrace.
Why can’t we just let them rot in HELL? HH
Starry,no need for an apology,I’m sure you’ve
learnt a lesson.

whit aboot that pee on the news?newco 99.99999%guaranteed to go into div 1.
They will need to keep the Masonic ludges
open 24/7 for next 6 weeks to turn that round.

I would like to see the original PDF document rather than an extraction of it from an unnamed journalist.
Scottish Television a busted clubs bitch still.
Here is what I reckon. Rangers suspended for one year announced the first Monday of the Glasgow fair.

Hell isn’t big enough.
BBC balance things with ‘will they be able to play football at all’.
Correct. We should take a step back from this, so should our leader writer. Let newco into Division 1 because those who let them in will be left with egg on the faces. I am convinced there’s a long, long way to go in this and that newco or anything similar or different will not be ready to play. Enter Whyte, Ticketus, Collyer Bristow, Rapid Vienna, who knows UEFA and others, all with a tale to tell and a lawyer to claim. We, me included, are reacting to media spin and tomorrow we’ll think differently, just as we did yesterday following Brown’s bombast – the newco has 13 players and no money. Let’s see where this goes.
Awe_Naw
Yip agree.
MSM are driving like crazy, next thing you know PL will be getting it in the neck again.
If anybody can get a copy of that PDF file. I would be entirely grateful. A Swiss mate of mine is very interested. He presumes that it does not exist in electronic format and has no letterhead or signatures on it.
Can anyone confirm ?
Thanks
