Newco caught in rolling statement shambles

254

Having been handed their backside on a plate by the SPFL, Newco claim their incompetent resolution “was never intended to release end of season payments” as “any club facing short term financial difficulties should request a loan from the SPFL”.  This runs contrary to their earlier statement “Rangers [sic.] will immediately propose a members’ resolution which would release prize money.”

Exactly why a resolution would be required for a club to request a loan under existing arrangements is unfathomable and the reason why you don’t allow children to issue statements on behalf of football clubs.

Can you imagine the wording of such a resolution, “We propose that clubs are allowed to request a loan as it already says in the rules clubs are allowed to request a loan.”

A leaked document on the SPFL vote indicates that the vote remains active for 28 days or until it gains sufficient acceptance to pass.  If the majority of clubs voted No, the issue would still remain on the table for 28 days, allowing any number to change their vote to a Yes.  It is also the case that not voting is the same as voting No; the resolution requires sufficient numbers of Yes votes to pass.

Dundee’s No vote and rescinding that vote therefore count as the same; they are entitled to rescind or change their vote to Yes at any time.

All of this, ALL of it, is like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.  Releasing prize money now will assist community clubs with a very low cash burn.  It will put only transient money in the pockets of others.  If they do not have many millions in the bank, like Celtic, or cannot find a benefactor, and no other Premiership club has one, they will be insolvent soon.

Instead of firing off angry statements or conspiring to subvert the League, Newco would be better advised to face harsh realities.

    So in summary, ICT club rep to SPFL is back channeling info to Newco and sharing confidential info with the media all while his club is in a precarious financial position. Potentially he could walk into a job with Newco and leave ICT in a hole, but could not be held legally responsible for that.

  14. So Newco, Hearts, Inverness and Dundee, the great bastions of Scottish football have all registered a going concern in their accounts. How odd.

  15. Nill and void kills lots of teams in the league, delay of prize money hurts lots and kills others.

     

     

    Giving prize money out reduces the risk of teams dying but hurts a couple of clubs ego and finance.

     

     

    Would be amazed if the spfl is allowed to just pass every team loans on the never, never without assurance that the league will be finished to prevent litigation against them.

     

     

    Is it illegal to knowingly place someone into debt they cant afford to pay back? Companies cant do it all the credit checks are to prevent that arising.

     

     

    If there is no end of season then there is no prize money and so any money you do receive by way of a loan is knowingly placing said party in debt they cant afford unless there is assurance that league will end.

    Trump sacked a captain of a US ship,who said there was coronavirus present on the ship,one of the sailors just died,Trump will view this as a defeat.

  19. Trump sacked the Captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a nuclear powered aircraft carrier which had to dock in Guam to disembark the sick crewmen, he complained that the Navy were not doing enough for the crew and his sailors were at risk of dying outside of a War situation, he sent his complaint by email include in the list was a San Francisco newspaper, he was sacked for going outside his line of command, I think the captain has since tested positive for Corona Virus.

     

    Anyone who thinks Trump could not have reversed this decision does not live in Trumps world.

  20. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    Relieved of his command by whom ?

     

     

    The anti Trump CNN.

     

     

     

    ” Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Saturday said it was “inappropriate” for the former USS Theodore Roosevelt commander to widely send a letter warning that action was needed to save the lives of his crew from an outbreak of coronavirus aboard the aircraft carrier.

     

     

    Capt. Brett Crozier was relieved of his command this week by acting US Navy Secretary Thomas Modly, for what Modly called “poor judgment,” going outside the chain of command, and too widely disseminating the memo over an unsecured system. ”

     

     

    Aaah. CQN Fake News.

    Aberdeen also going concern notice, be interesting to find out exactly how meany clubs apart from Celtic who are not registering going concern notice, this season will be a big cull.

  22. I have told you before, I will not be replying to anything you say post or try to instigate.

  23. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    A sound decision .

     

     

    ” instigate ”

     

    You mean respond to .

     

     

    Modly’s official justification for firing Crozier was a loss of confidence for the letter leaking publicly, though his argument for the termination centered on the number of people the officer copied in his e-mailed plea for help. “It was copied to 20 or 30 other people,” Modly said, adding that Crozier’s claims that as many as 50 of his crew could die “raised alarm bells unnecessarily.” The Navy expects the number of cases on the coronavirus-striken carrier to end up in the hundreds.
