I've just had a look around the other clubs fans forums and they are all in meltdown over this disgusting farce. The game is finished if this goes through. All the fans saying the same thing, whats the point of following a team in a corrupt league. This fiasco has really smoked out the rats and proved to us what we've always known anyway. They can shove it. :fuming:
Is everyone jumping the gun a bit here? Has hibs replied to anyone yet?
It's beyond a joke now. I've already renewed STs for myself and my son, but I really wish I hadn't bothered.
I can't entertain the thought of that bigoted, cheating shower back in the SPL after a season.
I've just read the proposal document.
Sickening disgusting corrupt pro-Hun filth. It's still all down to the one thing:
sleazy cash v's footballing integrity
Scottish football is clearly corrupt and will sell itself for anything. Like a crack whore selling hersel in a dirty alley to get money for another hit except this time its Scottish football selling itsel up an alley for another dose of TV and advertising money.
I never thought this day would come but whoever posted earlier about public awareness and new media channels got it spot on. We are not all just ignorant masses anymore who take the presribed media pill day after day and say thanks for it. When I was a kid there were 3 telly channels and most households bought one newspaper. Few doubted what their chosen news outlet told them. Nowadays there are so many ways to diseminate information and to express your views and pass them on to like minded people. These corrupt clowns must still think it is the 1970s and we are all daft and will just accept their twisted plan.
Well no, not me. Now I know the truth I can't sit at ER and watch a lie. If I want a lie I'll watch WWF, if I wan't corruption I'll buy shares in Barclays bank. For honest sport I'd rather play in a pub team.
This is make or break for Scottish football, but unless it follows the honest path of integrity then I'm off.
Totally regretting renewing as well, I could have got an iPad instead :rolleyes:Quote:

If this goes through I'm sure you will be entitled to your money back. Thats what I'll be asking for. I might get an Ipad two. :greengrinQuote:

I smell bull***.
What kind of a professional organisation types up something like that and includes "Immediate cash benefit for all 30 clubs!" with an exclamation mark. They might as well have added a smiley. Terms like "financial meltdown" belong in a tabloid headline, not a seriously considered proposal like this purports to be.
I'm not going to say 100 it's not genuine, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is being reproduced in the press without any great effort having been made to establish it's veracity.
Here's hoping, but not getting my hopes up :no way:Quote:

If that's true, the game is dead in this country.
I was invited to do a phone interview with Russell Leadbetter for an article they are running in this weeks Sunday Herald on the Newco/SPL saga.
I took part and Russell sent me the interview in rough form and I have just emailed him to correct a couple of points but have added to it :
I have attached my reply be interesting to see if he adds to it.
Russell
Thanks for that however can I just correct you on something, in the original survey 52% said they would walk away which is correct, however later on you quote me as saying 60 to 70 % of fans responding to the first survey would have carried out their threat, I believe that what I said was that 60 to 70 % of the original 52 % would have followed through on their threat to walk away from Scottish Football.
Can you just add that fans are very angry about the proposal to relegate Rangers to the 1st division and if the clubs believe that this will appease the fans then they are very much mistaken and fans will go ahead with their boycott, that is the message which is coming across loud & clear on message boards.
A lot of fans feel betrayed by their clubs saying that they have said no to a Newco in the SPL yet are working in the background to fudge a comprimise for a club who not only cheated to gain an unfair sporting advantage but in their opinion no longer exist as the former RFC have been liquidated.
When you look at what happened to Gretna & Livingston who had financial troubles and where relegated to the bottom tier for a lot less than RFC have then you can understand why they feel that there appears to be no sporting integrity involved in this latest attempt to change the rules to benefit one club.
It is fair to say that there is also resistance from supporters of SFL 1 clubs to the proposal and it is inevitable that Scottish football will suffer if this motion goes ahead.
I wonder whether this story and document has been deliberately leaked to provoke a reaction?
:hmmm:
If true, the only way to stop this is if all fans of SPL join up in protest.
The sort of professional organisation that would table this blackmailing nonsense?Quote:

We've already made our feelings clear, this is the SPL Chairmen's response; passing the buck to the SFL with a gun pointed at their heads to do what they bottled under fan pressure; save Rangers at any cost.Quote:

You are right about playing a blinder but not in the way you suggest. It looks like Rod has led us all up the garden path with his "you can put no price on sporting integrity" quote and we all fell for it. Seems it was just hot air and that the price you can buy Rod's "sporting integrity" for is the package that is now being promoted. The thing that REALLY pisses me off about the presentation that has gone out to the SFL clubs is the second last bullet point on advantages to Scottish football as a whole which is as follows " •Allows fans to engage in the bigger picture" They are really taking the piss with that one!!!!Quote:

How about we terminate the SPL and create a new 3rd (top tier) in SFL where clubs are offered equal shares and are all treated with fairness. Leave Doncaster to run a league where he only has Newco in it.
And I meant to add that with Der Hun out of the picture the other SPL clubs can change the voting structure whether The Sellik like it or not. No need for major restructuring to get that now.Quote:

Was starting to get a wee bit interest back in the game after last month's disaster. I actually felt a bit of pride, not in Rod and Hibs but in the other clubs too that stood up to this horrible institution that is the cheating bigot fest. Now, I feel sold down the river and don't see the point in bothering anymore.
Why don't we just bend over and ask the OF to draw up all rules that they want us to play under and just get on with letting them shaft us? Let's give them a percentage of the gate money when the visit away grounds, say 50% of their travelling support, and ask what else they would like.
This better be more nonsense from the BBC or whoever or it's the end game for me instead of newhunco.
:rules: :sick: :offski:
TBH, whether they do it or not is irrelevant.Quote:
