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.

    They (der Orcenkind) always have been a mob with long memories, although, I suppose, being able to remember things from 9 days ago isn’t that big a feat …

    They’ve left a few goats to , err, graze, ’til their hearts content.

    But Rob MacLean is an Aberdeen fan … I mean a Ross County supporter.

     

     

    The Huns are dead MacLean – get over it.

    “Is anybody cutting the grass at Ibrox these days?”

     

     

    They usually get the goats in during the close season.

    Grass grows like Billy Oh :-) these days in the current rainy season. I would imagine it costs a fair bit to in petrol and wages to cut a football pitch.

     

     

    As you say, goats are probably cheaper.

    Great points. Sally is definitely in it for Sally and Sally only. A true reflection of their ethos and they praise him, oh how they have praised him. The Media Darling. The Propaganda never stops. Thank God for Alex Thomson and all the real hard workers who have done the ‘Hard Yards’ in exposing this unbelievable conspiracy in Scotland.

  9. On a more serious note

     

     

    ‘Former Northern Ireland and Queens Park Rangers captain Alan McDonald has died suddenly at the age of 48.’

    I wonder if BBC Scotland Sports department have purchased their Sevco 5088 season tickets yet?

    Tony Mowbray was given instructions and he followed them out to the letter. Circumstances stopped him being successful (which have become more that clear since 14th February 2012). Look at the team he inherited and the team he left Neil Francis Lennon – do you see that some players departed during his reign?

    No matter BTM strengths or weaknesses, by the time he’d “taken on the chin and moved on” for the umpteenth time, I’d had it with him.

     

     

    Nice man though.

    SRS

     

     

    I might buy one myself.

     

     

    That could be a collectors item in the not too distant future.

    I’ll always have a lot of time for big Tony – but the Celtic job was simply too big for him, which is a real shame as I would have loved to have seen him succeed.

     

     

    Sadly he was out of his depth and it showed on the park where his tactics were baffling.
