Sevco need clarity on SPL vote more than the actual votes

1395

News that Dundee United will vote against allocating a place in next season’s SPL to Sevco confirms what we suggested yesterday, that sentiment has swung against the notion.  Motherwell’s innovative idea of allowing fans (who have already expressed overwhelming opposition to the idea) a vote is further evidence that even hard-pressed clubs are prepared to make financially difficult decisions.  Suggestions that the Motherwell board should grow a pair and take responsibility themselves have some merit.

Stewart Milne has denied BBC reports that Aberdeen have decided to vote against but I expect this is a matter of due process more than any genuine indecision.

There was a feeling this morning that matters could be brought to a head sooner than 4 July if enough clubs publicly declared against Sevco.  This would suit Charles Green’s company as they would be able to prepare offers to Rangers players (who they are able to sign) knowing where they are likely to end up.  If they are forced to wait until 4 July, Sevco will not know what squad requirements they will need for next season before making a decision on what Rangers players to offer employment to.

More than SPL football, Sevco need clarity.  A rush to declare against them might seem harsh but it would be enormously beneficial rather than being forced to wait a further 12 days.

    Big Tom was a milkman and. I used to split my summer holidays between Drogheda and Bundoran but loved running with the milk with the big man.

     

    Funny enough I was telling a story about him last night and it is the first time I shared this in Jersey.

     

    We were heading down to the Boyne Dairies in the big mans Beetle at eight in the morning to pick up our float.

     

    Wee innocent me says ‘ You wouldn’t get away with this in Scotland big pal’.

     

    Why not says he? Cos back in Glasgow the milk gets delivered pre breakfast says I.

    Some goal by Khedira, my bet on the Germans probably won’t be affected by Sammi now

    No I’m saying that she’d be more inclined to have a wee fantasy about Michelle than Michael!!

  8. Hateley says heat death at the core of the sun is like a new signing for Rangers.
