The Scottish Football League today placed an upper limit on which division Sevco can play in next season – their Third. We must now wait on the company providing sufficient information to complete their application to the SFL and for membership of the Scottish FA. Although many Rangers fans want Sevco to join the Third Division, chief exec Charles Green was clearly hoping to start life higher up the food chain.
The overwhelming nature of this verdict indicates the solidarity between clubs and fans, throughout the divisions, on how our sport is governed. This is a good thing but it leaves one burning question on the table:
Is the Scottish Premier League insolvent?
Last week SPL chief exec Neil Doncaster told SFL clubs that the Premier League would be unable to meet its contractual obligations if they did not vote Sevco into the First Division. Unless this was a shameless lie designed to bully clubs into giving Doncaster what he wanted, the Scottish Premier League Ltd should seek to appoint an administrator without delay.
You can ignore comments about league reconstruction at some unspecified point in the future, Doncaster told us last year that “those who want 16 teams in the top flight are deluding themselves.”
The Scottish Football League does not need the SPL, or its money, to continue to thrive as a community-based sporting entity. They will flourish. What happens to the SPL remains to be seen.
As we have observed once or twice before, M. Platini, where are you? We need the football world to assist with the survival of the game in one of its historic heartlands.

Thank you Kitalba
I had almost lost faith in CQN there.

So ICT do as their fans bid them but expect the SFL teams to do the opposite …disgraceful double standards
STV News saying that mob to start their glorious D3 campaign at Peterhead but BBC says it is East Stirling. Who cares?
How can they discuss anything regarding allowing a Hundead FC into the SPL Didn’t the SPL clubs unanimously vote not to allow a Hundead FC into the SPL ? It is all becoming very confusing. Its a bit like Irish referendums – just keep voting on the subject until the powers that be get the result they want
Rhianna is going to call herself Whitney Houston and claim her back catalogue ..at least as far as her fans are concerned

That last game of the season – if they start the season – looks to me like a 50 quid away win.

A couple of stories givin’ the impression that Sevco5088 can be shoehorned into the spl somehow have had to be ‘pulled’.
Herr Schmidt is getting torn a new one on Clyde!
I am so glad to have lived long enough to see the shower of bigots being brought low at long last……and they managed to conspire successfully to bring it all down on their own heads,with their arrogance being a big part of it.
Ra Bommur must be apoplectically steamin’ by now.
Roll on the ebt scandal in full.
Roll on the bigot civil war.
Roll on the utter annhilation of the worst aspect of Scottish society.
Roll on the absolute diminution of the scummiest football fans.
Roll on the end of the hun.
Roll on the clean out of the sfa.
Roll on the stripping of ripped off titles.
Roll on the end of a fake history.
Roll on.
HH!

According to Wiggy Rangers are still the same club business as usual,,,PATHETIC!!!
Also dredging up the auld Celtic are a newco nonsense as well,,,pretty obvious that Wiggy has been trawling FF and the like!!!!
Hail hail

Charles Paterson is a pathetic excuse for a sports journalist …from his method of reporting on the hun victories he is obviously a Hun
Hopeless inarticulate fool
Defhuncters……………….
Just spend the next 3,4, 5, 6 years thinking about how you can keep saying sorry.
You should have been banned, for what you and your horrible cohorts have colluded in , sine die.
You are a disgrace to the nation of Scotland and the game of football.

If The administrators think they can foist SPL2 or newco in the SPL on us again with three weeks to kick off they are more mental than we thought.
My inbox hit 1888 today, of all the days for that to happen. Good revenue boost to sfl clubs for 3 years or more hopefully and a chance to develop youth, stadia, reduce debts etc. Less pressure on splclubs to spend now.

They can call themselves what they want , they can kid themselves on as much as they want

“Ultimately, there must be an outcome that enables Scottish football to move on with consensus, clarity and confidence into a new era for the national game.”
I don’t think Reegan has gave up absolutely shameless.

whats this a Scot won todays stage and you didn’t report it?
what you been doing all day? no excuses
Clyde read out SFA statement but interestingly leave out…
and to support the financial sustainability of clubs through the Financial Fair Play model.

Duffield doesn’t have a clue, keep him on all night.
Wiggy,the man with boot polish hair,talkin’ utter $€¥£#…… Keeps takin’ pelters….just one more thick bigot mouthpiece with a loudspeaker and a microphone.
Animal eejit.
Love watching the stupid Huns being interviewed. How will they thrive on Third division income?
Anyway, who do they have in the Ramsdens Cup and will they make it all ticket…
Miki
that’s the grandfather of Scottish fitba yer traducing …….well according to BBC anyway :-))
“I’m sure there will be a lot more people wanting to watch our first game of the season than the tims vs the sheep”
Going to be some grim games and stadiums… And I can’t wait
I thought they were boycotting.
For anyone who ever slags Peter Lawwell, Ian Bankier, Dermot Desmond or any of the other professionals we have on our board…….
…..take one look at Gordon Smith, apparently the head honcho of Sevco intelligentsia and thank your lucky stars!

Not all ticket.
Zombie fans just go in and find a space; Chico Green will go round and collect the cash from them.
SFA statement: “Ultimately, there must be an outcome that enables Scottish football to move on with consensus, clarity and confidence into a new era for the national game.”
Where is the evidence that we do not now have that outcome? The SFL clubs said NO, the SPL clubs said NO today to entry to SFL1.
The message seems clear enough to me and the newco should be very glad to get away without any real scrutiny re their finances and viability as any other club would have had to face.
Let the football commence while we watch the inevitable series of legal challenges resulting from the systemic cheating by RFC.

Sevco 5088 now officially a ‘diddy’ club. How does it feel ya stupid stupid bigot hun ratbags?
GIRFUY all day, every day.
CheekyRedhead CSC
Wiggy saying the supporters did nothing wrong!
No, but they dined-out on the Murray LIE for 25 years.
And, what a trophy blag.
True justice, imo, would be a statement from, FIFA/UEFA
indicating that ALL the trophie’s stolen from a host of clubs should be rescinded.
“Cheerio tainted 9iar” – CSC
Bbc interviewed newco fans. They are all wearing the colours of a dead football club. One newco fan had the audacity to suggest they are being shafted. I assume the memory of lying, cheating, bigotry, EBTs, not paying taxes have all died in the poor wee souls memory along with his former team. Stupid stupid stupid angry newco fans.
Intelligent Hun…an oxymoron…..hold on…
…..just a moron.
