I wonder if we will see two rival Scottish Premier Leagues next season? We could see a SPL consistent with the threats made to SFL clubs last week, let’s call it SPL Loyal, with Hibs, KIlmarnock and a few others. They would sit atop a feeder league containing whoever they could attract from the SFL and Sevco, who due to fan power would be excluded from the top division, no matter how few teams that division had.
Meanwhile a rival SPL could setup, let’s call it SPL Solvent, with Celtic, those from the Gang of 10 who realise they are better-off participating in a league which is likely to survive until next May, along with the teams who last season finished near the top Scottish Football league.
SPL Solvent would make no threats to exclude SFL clubs who were due promotion on merit, and would therefore attract the balance of SFL clubs; which is likely to be the overwhelming majority. This league would contain the only club with the ability to underwrite the commitments needed to bring broadcasters and commercial partners on-board. It would also be free of, moral and ethical questions, where clubs are united with their fans on what it means to organise sporting events.
It’s not the worst idea floated in recent weeks.

I know you’re in England I read, and enjoy, your cricket updates!
Spain are ripping the pee, but a goal from Italy could change it (can’t see it though).
BT
SFTB
Meant David Silva as Villa is oot!
Dis bein oan the wine count?
Who’s the eejit commentating with Lawrenson? Terrific football from Spain evokes the comment “too tricky by half”.
MWD
If you’re doing the organising then whatever you think best mate.
Jude
I prefer Dr Okter..
Did you know that none of the countries in the Middlle East show the Flintstones?
Well most of them don’t, but Abu Dhabi do.
Aw. David silva off .. One less to worry about
:)
zit guy mowbray ?
ATF David Vila :)
60 mins gone and no mention of Man U, I can almost taste my cyber pint :O)
Right I’ll simplify this.
If we are to setup a raffle would you be prepared to pay £20 a ticket?
YES or NO
MWD
Is that Italy down to 10 men? Jeez no chance now.
MWd – more than happy with a £20 raffle ticket – I think that’s a fine idea !
Go wee Oscar :-)
blantyretim ,
tut tut – cyber equivalent of a booking for waving the imaginary yellow card in the ref’s face .

kikinthenakas , nae luck but closest of all. No one got Silva .

MWD
…..I thought Craig Thompson was gettin’ The Final…………
;)
Spain might just keep the ball for the last 25 minutes
Yes fro me but I’ll probably dae sumthhin daft!
Ah the old Goodfellas v Dr Oekter debate
MWD – the raffle idea involves a lot of people buying tickets, it’s about volume. That won’t happen at £20 or even £10 a ticket !
Go down the auction route….it’s all about generating the maximum funds for the wee man.

MWD
Yes

Noticed a guy with your full name posting on RTC. A relative perhaps:o)

aye but , how many Oscars did the Dr win/
I said the other night that if the giggling, sniping cynic that is Lawrenson says any thing worthwhile or insightful as a pundit then I will eat my cat.
Why does he call Balotelli “mario”?
Or is that the role of the pundit to feign friendship with the player.
Again I return to the man who actually mentors these guys the great uber customer and cynic Alan Green.
TTTT
It would be promo’d across the Timternet CSA twitter etc.
Not just CQN.
MWD
A raffle only works if you have a very very wide audience

He’s sleepin with the fish!!
MWD
Think TTTT probably has it right, for once :-), to maximize profits going down the auction route would be best mate.
This has been a long held debate and why I pay no attention to the Clyde’s annual Christmas auction for Cash For Kids.
The same wealthy attention seekers always outbid the decent punters year in year out.
Estorilbhoy @ 21:09…. Cracker…….
MWD – if I was going to pay £20 towards Oscar, then I would be better donating on his website and claiming Gift Aid, which I did last week.
That way he gets £25 instead of £20! Seeemples!
Auction it or a widely circulated raffle at £5 per ticket max.
