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!

Ragers under Walter Smith signed Jelavic for £4 million all part of the debris.

jelly legs offside, very close but he was offside..
Fallon volley from 20 yards……….
how much bigger would the crowd be at Hampden if it were a 3pm K.O?
Very good match between the Dons and the Hibees.
To hell with that English tosh.
Was hoping for an all green final but the Dons have the upper hand now. Hibs front two are their only hope.
BT
Saw the Jelly Legs goal, definitely offside. Care not a jot though. Got the Dons game on Sky Go, hoping to see the equaliser.

Totally agree!!The attitude of he huns in my work is one of blaming everyone else.The fact that their team have cheated everyone, from other teams, to hospitals and schools is lost on them……………..
Thanks, just how I see it and my fear that it (probably) may well turn out as stated………… Cheers.

Life picks the most unexpected of individuals to create change.
I blame Paul (the one on the way to Damascus) not our smart host.
McCoist might not be that man but the idea might find him whoever he is.
On the penitent point (or lack of it) I have been thinking a lot about that and put it down to differences in traditions, with one having absolution as an integral part and the other not.
The former makes it easier to accept wrong doing once recognised, knowing it can be absolved if the conditions of confession and contrition are present, the latter wants to deny it.
I managed to articulate it somewhere on RTC blog without upsetting folk from either tradition but cannot find it but hope this has same affect.

Re sky tv to cancel subscription if newco in spl

And made him aware of the spl and Neil Doncaster scare tactics
And spl chairmen voting in newco.
And that every fans forum are talking about cancelling sky sports on sky and virgin tv networks.
So come on bhoys get that e mail sent it maybe make a little point if a few send it but if it’s in the hundreds or thousands.
They will contact the sfa and ask what the h@ll is happening…

Awful, awful defending there.

jackie mac – many thanks, know what to do now
Hail Hail
2-1 Hibs – and the SFA have just announced that there can be no Green and White strips used at the final… Just in case was the reasoning.

I had a wee look back at that Kille 3 each draw game thread with an increasing smile.
Feel quite vindicated now.
(still would like a REALLY solid spine mind you)
Nice goal by the Hibees!
See then in the Final
Green & Whyte Celebrations then
See Mr Collum’s the MIB again, must be doing something right!
Good to hibs getting to the final.
Auld Heid
on form day , so ye are
i`m afraid fairplay ,integrity and egailitarianism are lost on most Huns
My only note of caution for tomorrow is the result today will give Hearts a wee bit more reason to give every ounce…
Always nice to see they old goats Broon and Knox getting beat.
Ulysees
That may be true, but they also have a stack of players on yellow cards…

Well done the Hibees.
A truly great semi – final.
Who are that team from Glasgow in blue everyone tell us we all need to have a game?
Here’s hoping for an all Green final. Let’s hope we don’t have any passengers tomorrow who think they only need to show up to win. Hampden has not seen the best of us in recent games.
Never mind about Hertz having an extra incentive because Hibs are in the final or indeed their players being affected by being on yellow cards.
If Celtic turn up tomorrow Hertz will get pumped.

an incentive for us as well
a dodgy Hibs team in the final
Paul67 et al
Congratulations to Hibs in getting to the final, commiserations to the Dons. Big big incentive to make it a Green and White Final! For those unfortunate never having seen one (The SFA banned it in Martin’s first Scottish Cup Final), then the great photograph posted by Bournesouprecipe yesterday, from the 1972 final, will show the contrast between the two strips. Still, we have got to get there first of course, and Hearts have a helluva incentive too.

For CEO Jeremy Darroch.
Through no fault of its own Sky finds itself being used as a justification for undermining the sporting integrity of Scottish football.
An integral component of making football worth watching is trust in the idea that the rules governing it off and on the field of play will be applied fairly.
If that trust is removed so to is the belief in the integrity of the application of the rules and without that, audiences will fall.
I think it would help Scottish football, who have suffered by being neighbours to the EPL, and help Sky itself, if Sky were to make some statement on the absolute necessity of balancing short term commercial considerations with sporting integrity in the long term interests of football, which relies on the interdependence of both elements for its well being.
As I have been watching the Liverpool Everton game, my mind has wondered across to Lennon talking about speaking with the likes of Moyes and Ferguson in his quest for continued self improvement.
The more I watch Liverpool under Dalglish the more it becomes apparent their fault is the flawed tactic of move the ball out wide to wingers and put crosses into the box.
Its obvious this was Dalglish’s preference when his purchase of Carrol and Downing.
In fairness he has taken Downing off and put on Bellamy – something I think reflects a more potent threat in the modern game of players finding pockets of space and allowing the ball to do the work in comparison to the tactic of yesterday where the winger bombs down the flank beating his man preparing to whip in a cross – at the same time as the centre halves are steadying themselves for what they know is going to happen.
Its made me think – Lennon knows the UK game pretty much inside out. Id like him to go abroad to go and search for self improvement.
Correct me if im wrong – but did Tommy Burns do this at one stage? I could have him mixed up with somebody else.
Lennon will learn a lot more from people who play the game in a completely different manner, than from those who have similar philosophies to him, just do things slightly differently.
If he went out to Ajax and studied the Dutch football model, a Primera Leagua team (im sure Villareal would be accomodating, maybe even Barcelona) and even went out to Sporting Lison or Porto.
He would come back with completely different ideas, as opposed to improvements on the same ideas.
It has been mentioned im partial to talking from a different hole than that of my mouth – whilst I wasnt able to defend myself I must add, where I would obviously have refuted I ever do such a thing (ok well I have already admitted Forster, Mulgrew and Samaras as a winger), but im convinced we would all benefit much much more from it.
Guys I think Hearts would see tomorrow the harder of the two games and up their game accordingly.
We’ve had a stash of ‘just turn up’ games at Hampden in the recent past and goes what? We didn’t turn up…
I’m back to wondering what midfield and front two we’ll play…

Are you employed in the CJ system by any chance?
