SPL cannot hold secret meetings with Rangers bidders

806

All three outfits looking to take control of Rangers want to meet the SPL before formalising their bids.  It would be inappropriate for any bidder to discuss the terms under which a new company could enter the SPL with the League’s executive.  It is not their place to negotiate with the League, or to establish the terms under which they would be prepared to spend money on Rangers.

Let’s be clear about what cannot be achieved by meeting the League:

The SPL cannot give them any indication as to whether the resolutions will be passed

They cannot give them any indication if other resolutions will be proposed and passed

They cannot give them any indication on the probability of a new company being given access to the SPL

SPL executives have no influence on these matters.  From an information discovery position, these meetings are utterly pointless, there is no need for them and no insight can be gained from them.

The SPL executive cannot consider representations from third parties who are hoping to cut a deal on buying a club.  If any bidder were to discuss their own bid or the consequences of any sanction the meeting becomes wholly inappropriate.

Any meetings which do take place should be minuted, with minutes distributed to all SPL clubs, and should be open to any other SPL clubs who wish to attend.

No secret deals, no secret attempts to influence.

Pay your bills!

    is this a saturation bombing tactic

     

     

    i think most on here understand your position re sharing Euro money etc

     

     

    why repeat it every other day

     

     

    btw …you do make some valid , novel points re more equal sharing of TV money to offset what will be a lesser global TV deal

  2. I think Broznek was brought in as a contingincey in case any of our strikers got injured after the january transfer window and give us cover for the run in,looks like he will leave in the summer Im sure we just signed him to the end of the season

  3. p.s every team in the sfl would benefit from a newco presence, with increased income from fans through the gate so the whole of scottish football would benefit greatly from the top fight to the 3rd division.

     

     

    does anyone else see the irony of voting newco into spl, when we have been told for years that turkey’s don’t vote for Christmas, except in the spl?

     

     

    what message are clubs giving to their own fans by voting in a newco?
