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.

Anyone interested this article is a cracking read.

Wee Sone AlukoNO has rejected the terms he offered himself for the new club. He will hopefully be able to give himself better terms elsewhere.
Div 3
|Was out all of yesterday so just trying to catch up. Good to see St Johnstone coming out on the side of integrity.
Surely the July 4 vote is a foregone conclusion now? The only question is whether Sevco will actually be humiliated or whether there will be a postponement under the guise of discussing league restructuring, But that leaves only 11 SPL teams and one ex-team ….
There is a long way still to run before we know what next season will look like. But this particular battle to keep Sevco out of the SPL seems to be won.

Happy to post in the UK.
The honest mistakes in Mowbray’s time were deliberate,consistent and had the purpose of making sure the huns won the league to gain the CL money in order to help fight their financial fires.
Mowbray wasn’t that bad a manager that the Myth needed the honest mistakes,ebt’s and an SFA hierarchy now forced from their positions to beat the man.
The big mhan doesn’t need anybody’s sympathy I’m sure but it doesn’t stop you feeling it for him after what he put up with.
I’m sure he’s had a bowl or two of the cold and wobbly stuff.

After reading that article in the DR about more bending of rules to suit 1 team if it’s true then i won’t be back.
“article…DR…true…” lol
You’ll be back. Their major punishments have still to come and the best they can hope for is Div 3, I suspect they’ll have a year without football. I don’t understand why it hasn’t hit home for some how good all of this is, perhaps the rush to the exits at murray pk will clear the clouds.

You know the vote that is proposed for July 4 on allowing a new entity to have immediate access to the top league in Scottish football, why is it taking place again?
Well, it’s not the best way to word the question. I know why it’s proposed. It’s an attempt to keep a berr-sized club in the league because the men who stare at groats don’t fancy the cash shortfall.
What I mean is, what justification have they given for staging this vaudeville vote? I think I’ve asked before. I can’t remember the answer. I genuinely would like to know why this is being allowed to happen.

Regarding the chin
Rasmussen’s arrival makes him the 10th player recruited by Mowbray, following Landry N’Guemo, Marco Fortune, Lukasz Zaluska, Fox, Josh Thompson, Zheng Zhi, Ki Sung Yeung, Jos Hooiveld and Thomas Rogne.

A big thanks to the guy from Airdrie who cancelled the fitba at 9.59 am for a 10.00 am kick aff.
I had debate on here with magnificentseven and he was confident they would be in div 3 but i will guarantee on here now they will be in division 1 and anyone on here that thinks otherwise are kidding themselves on.
If our governing body had wanted to change things then I’m afraid CO would’ve been sacked.
Hately on Talksport talking about playing ‘Roy’ Carroll playing up front with Rooney. What a pundit!
Oh and he wants the situation resolved at his beloved, whit was their name again?
Have asked his before, but how are newco going to get into any division as I think they won’t be up and running for next season, if at all :). are they going to leave a place open for them….NO! it has to be restructuring…but not next season
Any Thoughts??
BTW ‘The Jerk’ is one of Steve Martin’s funniest films, when he was funny
Hail Hail
I honestly wish i had you guys confidence on this situation but our governing body has been a joke for years.
Do you know what amazes me, they have cheated for years and have cheated creditors out of money that should’ve been paid to them.

Any chance you could change the name of CQN to something more appropriate that mirrors the constant changing emotion of some of our community. Without making a joke of those of our community who deal daily with issues surrounding mental health, and I apologise up front for my comment below to any of you who may take offence as that is not my intention but…

Agreed.
Tony Mowbray is a good man. A decent man. A man of integrity and honour.
Everything the hun is not
henr1k – The SFA have no rules or governance which allows a new club to enter the league in division 1, similarly there is no time before the season starts to introduce any kind of league restructure. If they force it though they’ll find themselves in another “ultra vires” situation.
Also, the indication that the SPL will simply give up some of it’s Sky money to division 1 is preposterous. Firstly, div 1 is not a league on it’s own, it is part of the SFL therefore any money would have to be distributed across all 3 divisions. Secondly, the SFL has no right to that money, Sky are bound to a TV deal and have indicated that they intend to honour that deal, so why simply donate money?
Given the timeline newco and the governing bodies are now facing, the only realistic option is newco packing up for a season, though it might be November before SPL/SFL finally accept this fate.

” Vaudeville vote ——–”
Yes -indeed.
Attend that meeting and vote and you are participating in a corrupt and cowardly charade.. Hard to see any purpose or justification beyond the creation of wriggle room.. Missing the point seems to be the only point of the Confederacy of Dunces who administer Scottish fitba.
