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.

    St Johnstone join the No vote. Two rangers players have lodged official objections to transferring and the rangers fans are not buying season tickets.

     

     

    Not long now until they flatline.

  10. 7 for izzy is a good bit of business. No chance of it this year, next summer maybe if he plays like his 1st year.

  11. Just read the following from Thomo’s blog! Hilarious stuff from a delusional one?

     

     

    ” no one likes us , we don’t care”. Very apt words from We are Rangers song. Rangers fans are probably the most enlightened in the country when it comes to the petty minded jealousy of the embittered minions who masquerade as moral guardians of Scottish football. The outpouring of hatred towards Rangers is testament to the inadequacies and inferiority of their lesser opponents who have hung onto their coat tails for over a century. These parasite clubs offer nothing in the bigger context of real world football, the European stage, which Rangers have have graced for 60 years, bringing honour and recognition to this inept footballing backwater, Scotland . Only Celtic by way of their over zealous bigoted minority fan base , have come close to being noticed regularly in European terms, although this was mostly back in the 60 s when competition was lacking. The fact that the little teams have any say in Rangers SPL future is as perverse as it is stupid, and we have many nonentity chairmen getting drunk on the publicity they are receiving at present, pontificating and sitting in judgement as though they were leading the Nuremberg trials. These normally insignificant chairmen could usually name their home crowds in person, and couldn’t be trusted to run a bath, let alone decide if a global footballing giant should be punished again under another trumped up charge. These moral guardians now insist they must listen to the hoards of the great unwashed” the fans ” when normally they wouldn’t give them the steam off their turds. Even Lawell has taken a back seat and shown a spectacular lack of leadership with his silence, no doubt ready to bitch and crow if and when” our day will come “. Every club in Scotland should have their last twenty years accounts forensically examined, and then we can see who casts the first stone. The famous Glasgow Rangers will survive and regroup in a short space of time. It is patently clear from recent events that the outpouring of hatred and bile directed at Rangers, that they are victims of their own stunning on field successes. The obvious concerted attempts to deal the Gers a fatal blow will ultimately fail and Rangers will once again take their true place at the pinnacle of Scottish football. The silly cheat allegations and childish alternative name derivatives( newco, secco etc) only show the fans of insignificant teams up for what they are, out of touch embittered clowns- the football equivalent of ” small man syndrome”. We shall return unbowed. We refuse to apologise for Murray and Whyte transgressions- we are RANGERS SUPER RANGERS, no one likes us , we don’t care!!!!!

    Couldn’t be trusted. Couldn’t run a bath. Unlike the custodians of the mighty Rangers(IA) over thepast couple of decades, of course.

    Since the source of contamination has not been eradicated, the source being the prevailing we are ra peepul mindset, then SPL2 will becomes as contaminated as SPL1 became in the past few years.

     

    Pressley at Falkirk will spend season in the stands with other managers not “taking it on the chin”

     

    On that note, has any journo asked Tony Mowbray how he now feels about his spell as Celtic Manager?

  21. Auldheid

     

     

    Why would they?

     

    None are interested in pursuing a legitimate line of questioning…..

     

    and…..

     

     

    None are interested in the answer.

     

     

    …..now if it was facilitatin’ walt with an easy headline………..

    Ya swine.

     

     

    I dont know about the new roll shop but from my extensive research Id say Londis Glasgow road for best chance of Mortons well fired, Spar bottom of Stonefield road but served with a bad attitude and rarely have any after 10am and often tell ye ‘nae rolls’ when they have them, Im still boycotting the place after the great roll swindle of March 2011, Collins’es upper Stonefeild road on the left is good but stock often gone early as its a favourite with the hardcore roll hunters up there and theres also strong chance of baps, in emergency McLeans up north in High Blantyre has been known to do well fired but also a risk of baps so make the journey at your own risk.

     

     

    Thats the roll scene as I left it, not upto date with the current situation.

    Is Mortons not now owned and controlled by organised crime and used for money laundering?

     

     

    Or is that just a rumour?

  24. The Boy Jinky on

    If there’s anyone in Qatar who knows more about rolls than you i have yet to meet him ;)
