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!

    This is the guy who said on RS the other night

     

    ‘celtic and rangers fans were like snow off a dyke in the 80’s whilst Aberdeen fans follow their club everywhere’

     

    Pr*** !

     

    But I may be wrong.

  4. BIG CUP WINNERS

     

     

    My bhoy scored a couple in a Scottish cup win back in Sept/Oct over there.

     

    Pitch was fine then might be a cow park now but was fine then only issue was

     

    a steep slope right at corner flags which made it impossible for a decent run up

     

    in one corner of the park.

     

     

    The local team had nice strips aka Seville yellow away kit and my bhoy although he scored a couple and setup a couple had a pleasant exchange with rival coach/fan when coaches phone went off with JCGE my wee man started dancing and singing out on the wing.

    Hi

     

     

    strange request: Anyone have an idea of the condition of the Caldebank grass football pitch near the A8/M8 at Chapelhall ? Tattie field or bowling green ?

  5. Cowan is a clown no arguement from me..

     

    someone asked for the article so I obliged.

    I should have went to vigil tonight.. old man picking mini up at 10am tomorrow to go to Hampden…

    prestonpans bhoy – said to Thistle fan in work during the week, if Rankers get found guilty of dual contracts going back many years, you still going to say “one’s as bad as the other”?

     

    Couldn’t give me a clear answer….feckin sick of it and all the laptop loyal BS these clowns have swallowed over the years.

     

    That toxic dump in Govan has probably poisoned Scottish football beyond any form of redemption. Coupled with the pygmies running the clubs and the governing bodies, then the sooner we GTF the better.

     

     

    Tam Cowan….we shouldn’t even waste the smallest part of a page on this blog talking about that first-class A-hole.

    Ha Ha big guy I have a fridge full of lager and a long lie ahead :-))

     

     

    ps theglasagowcelticway pointed out that there’s 6.30pm in St Joseph’s tomorrow night.

  8. Maybe we should conduct a straw poll amongst the horse and see if they like what they are doing!!! Don’t think many would agree.

     

    To use a KOJO ism, if I were king I’d ban horse racing and fox hunting as well and anybody taking part would be sent to the gallows. The elite of the elite making money out of poor horses and poor punters. Shoot the lot of them I would.

     

     

    Off to the boozer.

    All joking aside, greenhouses are wonderful.

     

     

    The ills of the world might be cured if more people sat for a bit in a greenhouse.

     

     

    Sit for a bit in one, Go on,
