So how about this scenario, Celtic Youths are trailing in their league with 10 games to go when they register three new players, but someone’s ‘at it’. The players are all over-age but the date of birth on their registration forms have been incorrectly completed, so the players are registered and become eligible to play the remaining games. Celtic Youths win their remaining games and win the league.
At the end of the season the deception is uncovered. The people responsible for filling the forms out incorrectly are criticised but one is president of the Scottish Football Association, who give evidence to an inquiry that as the Association registered the players, the results must stand.
Time to “draw a line under it” is the line from the SFA chief executive, hoping with all his might that no one mentions the Scottish Youth Cup games the players also played in, which would invoke a parallel punishment to the one recently imposed on Spartans Youths for exactly the same offence in the same competition. The chief exec also dismisses attempts to call those criticised by the inquiry to account as scapegoating.
Ridiculous? Of course, but this is what we’ve just experienced, with another club, of course.
Challenging the verdict, if possible, is a worthwhile endeavour but it will only treat one symptom of the many issues facing Scottish Premier League clubs, who could be forgiven for losing the will to compete within the rules. Fans of several SPL clubs now believe their best interests are served by playing in an environment beyond Scotland – for a whole range of reasons.
We have to work with fans of other clubs to make the case for the SPL, as a unit, to leave Scottish football (I see cross-club initiatives are already underway).
On a completely unrelated question, if you had £21m in the bank late last year, and you were burning cash at £1m per month, which year would you run out of money?

Re revenue from a home game …just how much profit can be made with charging div3 prices but having to pay SPL policing costs etc … Not much IMO
Here is the T/O break down for those interested

Hadn’t had the opportunity to read your early morning post until this evening.
Incredibly humbling and enlightening. May God grant you courage and strength.
what in the sweet lord jebus is negative goodwill? i am looking forward to a tikka kebab but I have a lot of negative goodwill towards a doner ! is that it ?
Any business losing £1m per month is in trouble. A business with a turnover of £9m for 7 months which presumably includes season tickets for 2012/13 is in very serious trouble.
With no notable income from January – June 2013 ( due to Sallys consistent cup failures ) then the losses will continue at an even bigger monthly rate. The cash stockpile claim of £20m will be below £10 come the summer. I hope Chuckles , Sally et al are given their bonus.
It will be interesting to see the value and terms of the puma deal. It also explains the desperation to rename ibrox and to do a 1 year deal with blackthorn cider.
I would guess early 2014 we could see the demise of Sevco , less than 2 years old.
It’s great Sally is in charge as his managerial “expertise” will accelerate the demise of Sevco. He is playing a blinder.
Ps. One or two clever sevconians are starting to twig something is not quite right. Hilarious.

I’m sure green stated today he expects to pull in £15 million on season books.
40,000 sold that would been an average of £350.
Dream on even hunchbacks can’t be that stupid!!!
Hun at work who was one of the forty invited to laud the charlieton on Saturday…told me there is definitely no asbestos at ipox.
Thems are prepared to swallow any
pash that comes out of his salivating
mouth.
sally makes return to qos now…. on bbc 1
Daly’s agent, Eamonn Collins, will talk to R*****s about the player, who also has the option of a move abroad.
Daddy or chips.
Ps Kilbowie kelt from earlier
YOU WERE RIGHT :)) OPTION 2 has upset them more:))
On the losses the are mocking anybody who questions the loss on RM
“we knew we would make a loss this year”everything is ok in the deluded mantra.
Season tickets, Share issue (World record crowds)NO LAUGHING AT THE BACK :))Mike asley and many more investors REALLY!!!!!!!? STUPID STUPID SEVCONIANS
Pfayr-£250,000 a point in CL I think
Lucky cody
Ps. One or two clever sevconians are starting to twig something is not quite right. Hilarious.
seismic shift ! and very welcome.
Are the accounts subject to audit or is it the usual done on one if those etch a sketch boards?
Was Jon Daly not a pundit on BBC last night?
Surely that’s enough to convince anyone that he is going to Sevco.
BBC only have Hun pundits.

“Boss Ally McCoist has invested in the club and last night revealed he had also given his sons the gift of Rangers for Christmas.
McCoist, who declined to reveal the extent of his investment, said: “All I can say is I’ve bought shares for my family – I have five boys. I don’t know if that’s a vote of confidence or not but I imagine a lot of fans will make it a family thing.
“I’ve been told that, as an employee, I’m not legally allowed to say buying shares is a good or a bad idea”
Think we can comfortably say a bad idea Fat Sally…..
My usual mantra since admin and liquidation looked likely …… Look at the facts. You don’t need rumour or hearsay ….. Facts. And the fact is that no business the size of sevco can run at those costs and live.
The money they are spending on players has to be the number one problem. The income needs to be matched to outgoings. So either increase income or reduce wages.
Not much bang for buck at puma towers.
Who could they sell to balance books?
They are done.

Very good points…..and well made…HH
Lucky Cody
That accords with my quick calculation too ….they’ll stumble on thro the latter part of the year on the ST money …
It may be accelerated if they find themselves in the bottom tier again next season …can’t imagine another season in the bottom division be a great draw for the fans ….they might get a Ramsdens Cup run tho :-))
the boy jinky.
Did you see I’ve got a car named after me? Lol

Hope you’re right again …LOL

Bottom tier or second bottom tier would to all intents and purposes make no difference, without a quick return to the elite league they are in bother?
sipsini
people believe what they want to, when celtic were talking about building a stadium in cambuslang i wanted to believe it true, so i to believed!!!!!!!
i was still a young boy to be fair
sevco fans dont do learning theory
Sipsini
If they are in the bottom tier will there not be a cap on the ST prices ..I know that one exists this season
PFayr
Thanks, so the long term prognosis is they need a sugar daddy, or it will be lights oot again.
Music to my ears.

John Parrott class…. “have u got questions on Scottish 3rd Division football”… :-P:-P
