What chance we see rival SPLs next season?

1081

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.

    As far as I know, no list exists of banned songs, which makes it easier for police to arrest individuals for using offensive/sectarian behaviour – a little bit like the ‘breach of the peace’ laws, which means you can be done for about anything.

     

     

    Specifically I am talking about songs about the Provos.

    Sixtaeseven – do you think the facebook or twit will be one of those ‘send us your bank detail’ requests from Billy in Nigeria???

    Thank you…………………..hearty laugh and ready for the rest of the day.

     

     

    Hail Hail all CQNers

     

     

    Anticipating a nuclear week and hope that at long last I’ll be able to raise a few glasses to my dear departed “old” man and my brothers who despised the cheating and corruption we had to face daily from the “peepul” who lived all around and amongst us.

     

     

    We all believed our day would come……………….it’s nearly here!

     

     

    Hail Hail

    An away songs debate…………..again.

     

     

    Groundhog day or whit!

     

     

    Of more interest. Does the SFL require potential applicants to it’s membership to have been previously vetted and have been on an ‘approved list’ for a minimum of three years?

     

     

    And if so,

     

     

    Should sevco Scotland NQYIA (not quite yet in administration) not be applying to get onto the ‘approved list’ rather than for any vacant position of membership?

     

     

    What ‘job’ was Longmuir promised for getting sevco to division 1 and by whom?
