Generic Sevco / Rangers meltdown thread

kudos to them and mad vlad for coming out and saying how they will vote

Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere, but FIFA rules have been changed since Airdrie bought out Clydebank, so that particular route is definitely OUT for The Rangers;
"3. Altering the legal form or company structure of a club to facilitate its qualification on sporting merit and/or its receipt of a licence for a domestic league championship, to the detriment of the integrity of a sports competition, is prohibited. this includes, for example, changing the headquarters, changing the name or transferring stakeholdings between different clubs."

"Singin' bye-bye
miss the old Kille pies..."

... "The day The Rangers died"

SPL with teams playing against Celtic for 12 next year should make things tighter.

Get in tae thum!

Genuinely excited about the league for the first time in years.

Hibs will get more support from me next year.

2 Shirley.

If Hibs, Hearts and United say No, then only another 2 are needed.

Cheers. :thumbsup:

I'll buy a couple and munch my way through while I listen to the radio commentary.

Celtic fans to boycott Rugby Park seemingly.

Celtic and Aberdeen.

Sorted.

Congratulations to United. For most of this saga I've expected Rangers to be back in next season's SPL, albeit with some penalty attached, but it's getting increasingly unlikely. I'll go to Tannadice for the SPL opener now.

The only certain Yes votes now are Kilmarnock and Ross County. Even Green might vote No if he doesn't have the dosh to pay SPl wages. :cb

That should deal with the Bury takeover, or any similar scheme, too.

Show some solidarity and all that. Only away game I probably won't attend is Kilmarnock who as of now have hinted they will back Newco huns. No surprise there though.

It's a double whammy for those clubs (like Killie) who are clearly keen to vote with Newco - they lose the Huns shilling and lose the support from the other 11 SPL away fans. IMHO the lead shown by Yams and DUFC today will encourage the likes of Hibs, Dons, Celtic and others to come out with similar positions. Those left on the sidelines - either suspiciously quiet or in support of Der Cheating Hun are short-sighted and will lose lots of extra ££££ as others see them for who they are and boycott their grounds - NO SPORTING INTEGRITY.

The way I see it

Hearts - No

Dundee United - No

Motherwell - No (Based on the fans survey as the vote has been given to the fans)

Celtic - they will probably loose the most money in the league due to dual sponsorships and old firm games but they will surely vote No

Hibs - From what Petrie has came out with regarding sporting integrity I don't know if its safe to have us down as a No.

Based on the above I'm convinced the Newco's application will be declined.

The wedge for a season ticket is sitting here in a drawer but its not dependant on just Hibs voting no,it's dependant on sevco fc not getting into the SPL,div 1 or any spl2 nonsense either.They should be made to apply to the bottom tier like any other new club.

Feeling a bit sorry for Killie fans here.

Their club management are on the verge of folding them if SPL fans follow up on abandoning them.

I'm pretty sure their fans will all be 95% against like all others.

I also agree that the teams that vote no need the extra support from their fans to help supplement any loss in revenue.

---

I love the post stating "I'm fed up of hearing this word 'integrity'"
Interesting twist still think the fudge SPL2 is the next "attempt" to soften the blow for them. Unfair on the hardworking honest clubs trying to do the right thing like Falkirk in the SFL who have had more than their fair share of knock backs

I think if 5 clubs come out publicly NO then the rest will follow nothing to loose by voting No. A lot to loose if they vote yes even if their votes don't effect the outcome.

All hold you to that :greengrin

Would have thought so.

The stance of Petrie, Hearts and Dundee Utd should hopefully give confidence to St Mirren/St Johnstone and the like to maybe lean towards 'no', which hopefully has Celtic and Aberdeen in the camp already. I know it only needs five clubs to vote no, but it'd be terrific if even more than that voted no to make sure a resounding message was sent.

ScotMid on Easter Road sells Killie pies as well by the way :wink:

If the Huns end up in division 3 I'll see you for the trip on our opening day :thumbsup: if you're going, that is :wink:

Is there not some rule that states applicants for the SFL have to submit 3 years of accounts or will they just ignore this rule in Rangers case, is it a given that Newco will be accepted into SFL?

Well done the Arabs and (cough) theyams...God Bless that mental Russkie

appolgies for linking to 'their' website, say what you will about mad vlad but that statement is a cracker, even by his standards! particuarly enjoyed;

"The football mafia represented by former owners of Rangers FC and Rupert Murdoch's media are to blame for some of the worst problems to hit Scottish football and must not be allowed back in under any circumstances.''

and;

"They have lived beyond law and all morals, and should now be declared beyond the pale''

would be good if a few more chairman (four more to be precise) would come out in such unequivocal terms!

Utterly classic bonkers but brilliant!

The SFA & SPL Exec will be having crisis meetings tomorrow to discuss Plan F on how to get the Huns out of this mess.

Looks like the clubs have decided to take a stand for the "good of the game" - something which our football authorities should have done months ago instead of cowering away in the corners hoping the problem would just go away. Once this is all over and the Huns are in the 3rd Div, I'd like to see a summary of the behaviour/positions taken by each and every journo, SFA/SPL Exec, politician so there is no misunderstanding about who supported self-interest, bigotry and cheating ... over sport and fair play. Name and shame them :greengrin

I wouldn't be surprised if Killie see the lie of the land and eventually vote no as well in the hope of heading of boycotts by away fans.
