SFL is over but still busy times

921

The Scottish Football League programme is now finished with only play-offs still to complete but there is still a great deal of business to complete.  The remarkable persistence of First Division clubs to find a financial model which will allow them to retain full time football shows no sign of ending, despite the difficulties presented from a couple of quarters.

Meanwhile the Third Division champions have even more pressing matters.  They have now finished their league programme and can now officially be told what they have perhaps unofficially suspected for some weeks.  Charles Green has agreed to remain a director until the end of this month.  Before he goes the ownership of Ibrox, as well as the appropriateness of the club’s IPO in December, will need to be established.  They have a three week window but nothing happens until the lawyers report, which I expect this week.

It was two years ago today Sir David Murray took a £1 payment and relieved himself of outstanding commitments to Lloyds Banking Group, the legacy of his time at Rangers.  The support Craig Whyte received at critical times in the months which followed was breath-taking.  Every hack, side-kick, and numpty ‘fan’ who told the rest to set aside all common sense deserve a medal for what they did to that club.

They don’t even understand the mock-worship Celtic fans offer Whyte is a parody on where they were 2011-12.

    On a less happy note, today is also the anniversary of the Milan Final in 1970. It was never quite as good again.

    Some things are best forgotten . Thinking about it brings back the sound of all those klaxons. I was in Siracusa last night , the centro storico was jammed with Juve supporters in cars and on scooters giving it laldy on the old klaxons [and waving 31 banners ]. If I hear a klaxon , I think about that game.

    Although the licencing of clubs is a domestic matter, when there is lack of transparency UEFA has the discretion to get involved.

     

     

    @lawtop20 Gregory forgive me for saying but I have very little faith in @FIFAcom & @UEFAcom they give me the impression they are impotent

     

     

    LawTop20 @SusanBurke9 Fans can start an action. It can be done.

     

     

    . @lawtop20 In my opinion Gregory fans should start an action. Ok fans groups what do you recon? Something to get stuck into perhaps

     

     

    LawTop20 @SusanBurke9 Yes I agree. All it takes is the filing of a complaint at UEFA.

    Does anyone remember a guy called Shaun Gibson who used to be on Twitter. I remember him talking about paperwork being in place for the sale of Murray Park as part of a deal with Cala Homes where Houses would be built on West of Scotlands Rugby ground & they would move to Murray Park.

     

     

    He also mentioned (this time last year) a plan/paperwork in place where Ibrox could be turned into a hotel.

     

     

    He said at the time he didn’t have all the facts but I always wondered how much truth was in it? Can anyone shed any light on this? Is this what we are about to see unfold with the death of Sevco?
