Newco did not disappoint with last night’s statement, it was as incoherent, angry and contradictory as you would expect. They claim:
“We are extremely concerned that member clubs were not provided with enough information, or time, to allow them to make fully informed decisions”.
They were allowed 28 days to ask for as much information as they wanted before voting! Newco and most others were able to respond within two days – by choice.
“We are aware several club directors claimed they were being bullied”.
Several people we are not naming were bullied by someone we are not naming. This is like the evidence of wrongdoing they say they have but would rather not show anyone. To quote their founding manager, “Who are these people?”
They want to sound hard but have chosen to shut up instead of revealing anything – nice one.
“Addressing the [financial hardship of many of our clubs]was one of our primary objectives and the resolution we presented could and should have been progressed”.
“The SPFL chose to obstruct our resolution”.
“The fact that this solution was not afforded sufficient consideration defies belief”.
An independent QC was employed to examine their resolution and found it was not competent and could not be put to members. They claim to want independent oversight but completely ignore independent oversight has happened.
“There is precedent within Scottish football that a league must not be compromised by changing the rules during the course of the competition.”
Again, a claim shrouded in innuendo, this time an unexplained precedent. If I was a betting man, I would say they forgot the league schedule was extended in 2008 to accommodate Oldco (I regularly hear of this amnesia), and are referring to the fact that it was not extended as long as they wanted.
“The anger of our fans is understood and shared by our Board, who continue to examine all legal options available.” Newco do so well in court, the SPFL board must be terrified.
The statement confirms they have a problem accepting rules. An independent QC explained to Newco MD Stewart Robertson and the rest of the SPFL board why Newco’s resolution could not be pursued. Robertson was asked if there was anything more he wanted to ask and if he felt the matter had been given sufficient consideration by the SPFL board.
It was not the SPFL board, the chief exec, a retained solicitor or any other malign foe who stopped their resolution, it was an independent QC. These are the rules, they were independently enforced, accept them.
Remember this SPFL vote did not end the Premiership season, all it did was ensure the season will not be voided, all other options remain on the table. It’s not much of a hill to stand and fight on in these difficult times.

3 hearts hibs Hamilton
Sorry missed the 10 reference
To be honest, I’d rather have Hearts in the SPL than Hamilton.
Hearts have the stadium, the following (even if they are huns) and a grass park.
Hamilton’s stadium would do the juniors proud and the public could play on their pitch awe day every day.

Your barred in awe.
GORDYBHOY 64-maybe the mod thought you were going to post yir music 😉
Wonder if they’ve furloughed the groundsmen at Livi, Hamilton and Killie – plastic must be foot high by now.
1986 ‘Hearts-breaker’ Albert Kidd urges Sandy Clark to get over it
Alan Pattullo
Published: 06:00 Wednesday 17 April 2019

Albert Kidd has advised Sandy Clark to stop living in the past after the former Hearts striker revealed he would have liked to have kicked his head in.
Kidd was instrumental in Hearts missing out on the Scottish title on the last day of the season at Dens Park in 1986 after scoring two late goals for Dundee against the visitors, who needed just a point to win the league. Celtic’s 5-0 victory over St Mirren on the same afternoon was the required margin to leapfrog Hearts in a dramatic finale.
But Clark, speaking on Radio Scotland’s Off the Ball programme on Saturday, was more angered by Kidd’s subsequent conduct. He claimed Kidd “rubbed salt in the wounds” with his comments about being a Celtic supporter.
Kidd, who now lives in Australia, has often been invited as guest of honour to Celtic supporters’ functions. “Albert Kidd, who is somebody I don’t know that well, I would like to have kicked his head in,” said Clark. “Not then, his comments [since] and his bit about teams he supported.”
Kidd has been taken aback by the strength of feeling displayed by Clark over three decades later. “Had he said this right after the game and continued to say this for a couple of years, so be it and I wouldn’t have been surprised, but 33 years on, is a long time between drinks,” said Kidd, who recalled meeting Clark at the Scottish Football Writers’ Association Dinner in Glasgow in 2016.
“Thirty minutes into the function, I noticed Sandy Clark at a table nearby. I approached him and greeted him saying: ‘Sandy Clark, it has been a while sir, how are you?’ His response was delayed and my first thought was: ‘jeez he doesn’t know me’.
“I proceeded to tell him who I was and he answered by saying: ‘I know who you are’. So the conversation was fabulous and lasted eight to ten seconds.
“I knew from that moment that he was still hurting and if I continued speaking, he may well have got a bit out of sorts.
PHILBHOY-how dare you.As a Hamilton bhoy and John Brogan being my wife’s godfather.Not to mention my hatred for they bassas.I disagree 100%😉😊

Sandy Clark deserved all he got. And gets.
Another seriously hurtin’ hun who doesn’t sleep!
Hehehehehehe
FAIRHILL BHOY
I have friends in Hamilton too!
But it’s the plastic pitch that does it for me!
RIP Norman Hunter
Sad to hear the big man is gone. Didn’t realise he had been in the 1966 World Cup squad. Do realise that he was a member of one of the great English teams of the day when he played against us back in 1970.
I see the Daily Record have done it again – hours ago they were reporting Bet365, “the world’s largest bookies” had declared a Celtic title win null and void if the 38 games were not finished.
It’s now emerged that Bet365 paid out on us winning the league weeks ago on account of our runaway lead. 😂

Albert Kidd should have been knighted by now.
