We need to find out exactly whats going on, i might get abuse for this but if it generally is Petrie behind this then I have no idea whats going to happen to the club as surely people won't buy the new kits and season tickets. Hopefully the SFL clubs stand strong and aren't fearful of this threat of SPL2 nonsense!
I have just sent my thoughts to Rod.
My next step is to bypass the SFA and go straight to UEFA and FIFA.
We need thousands of fans to be doing the same thing. This must not be allowed to happen.
I will be finished with the scottish game if this happens, I will never give another penny to sky either. But first I'm going to do my best to make sure the money men know they have had a fight and not got away with this one easily.
The spartans could benefit massively from this if it's all true.
It's certainly managed that. If it was to test the water then they've got a clear answer.Quote:

Couple of other thoughts though - surely the SFA can refuse to recognise a breakaway SPL2? And there is still hope that the SFL clubs can save the day. Not only by voting to put Sevco 5088 into Division 3, but by then refusing to join a SPL2 whilst simultaneously demanding that the proposed changes go ahead without the Sevco 5088 parts.
That document is a shocker.
"Scottish Government Remain Committed to our Community Strategy" - So they wont if Rangers are punished and have to apply to division 3?
"A Positive Media Outcome" - So we need to appease the media? If so we are doing things for the wrong people.
This is shocking, in some ways its even worse than the vote to get into the SPL. The SPL vote has failed so they now go somewhere else, bribe them with implications if they dont say yes, and also bribe them with a money offer. Immediate Cash Benefit for all 30 clubs ! What sort of statement is that.
It can't be true.Lies.That document has to be a load of bollocks.
Wont happen, some folk will watch corrupt football , but still moan about sporting integrity?Quote:

Once the season begins, it's too late. They won't change anything once it's underway.Quote:

I'd almost have more respect for them if they'd just came out and made their case for letting the newco in, this nonsense of on the one hand telling the fans what we want to hear with all the chat of integrity, while with the other pointing a gun at the SFL and forcing them to the dirty work for them is for me, possibly even worse.
They are showing they think we are all a bunch of mugs who will carry on pumping the money in regardless of what they do.
Thats not the case, its the fact that the SPL and SFA rules which are in place are being bypassed to allow Rangers to get off lighter than their rules state. This isnt a case of fans wanting them punished more than the rules state, its the fans wanting the authorities to carry out those rules. They are even bribing and blackmailing now which is shocking. Whats the point of supporting a game run by bodies that will not carry out punishments, change rules to help one club, completely restructure the game just for one club and ignore everyone else?Quote:

Tony McKelvie@TonyMcKelvieAccording to SFL per http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/rangers/108463-in-full-document-sent-to-sfl-clubs-to-put-rangers-into-the-first-division/ the Game will meltdown if RFC is punished for its many scandals. If true, melt it. It's worthless!
:agree:
I have to say I'm utterly disgusted after reading that. I've always maintained I will still go and support my club no mater what but I can see why people want to walk awayQuote:

Rangers NewCo should apply to the SFA for admission and apply direct to the SFL in the same way that any other new club would do. This is and remains our club's absolute position."
C'mon Rod, what you got to say????

Wimbledon and Man u fans shown it can be done.
It may sound a pipe dream but back in 1875 it wasn't easy to get our club formed. The same cheating that exsisted back then still exsists now.
Time for change.
Each share in the new club would be £10. Room for all pissed off Hibs Fans.
The fans are Hibs. Not Farmer and Petrie.
Time to be brave. It won't be easy but Scottish Fitba is about to die.
If this goes ahead I will be really angry with our club and the rest of them (assuming they support it) and will be asking for a refund on my season ticket.
How can they be so far removed from how the fans of nearly all of the clubs feel to think that this will wash?
Utterly disgusting IMO, there is absolutely no point in having a rule book if you are going to rip it up and start again just to save one club. Lets not forget they (the SPHell) have been telling us for months that restructuring is not plausible as they can't find a solution to suit everyone, now all of a sudden they can sort it all out before the start of the season??? If this goes through it will cost them more money than binning Sevco to division 3 would IMO with the number of fans deciding to give it up.
After reading that STV thing I want to change my poll vote from option 2 to option 1.
Farce of a football association in this country. I'm embarrassed.
I don't doubt its veracity. I think it has been leaked to the media by people who are opposed to it, because they know it will cause a reaction. If you were in favour of this you would try to keep this as secret as possible. We don't need a lot of opposition to stop it. The SPL needs an 11-1 majority to pass the resolutions involved (playoffs, financial distribution). The SFL needs a 23-7 majority to pass their resolutions. Keep up the pressure and I think this plan (like previous ones) will fail.Quote:

this must have the support of the clubs or it wouldnt have been releasd today. well done to aberdeen for sticking to what the fans want
We have seen the document suggesting that Rangers may well be placed in Division one as a Newco.
Now we are not as yet thinking it is a done deal or that the member clubs of the SPL have made a plan but if they have Mr Petrie and Hibs are a team involved then I think we might see far worse repercutions than the impact of no Rangers.
Time you stood up and started counting the views on here which clearly show the rules in place should be the ones that are used. what is frightning is some Hibbies on here who I know go week in week out are going to chuck it, I am going to chuck it, Hibs will lose far more by agreeing to any sort of change to division one.
My order for the new top is on hold, lots of STs are on hold this site doesnt claim to speak for the entire support but as any survey you ask a group anda fairly large group is sitting on here. The Hibs support are actually disgusted at the proposal.
You and I both know Hibs would never get the chance to just drop 1 league, we would be starting in 3rd you know it and we all on here know it.
Bottom line though it is conjecture and what the support will do is conjecture we will wait and see but if it turns out you are not in favour of such a proposal then you can stand by your integrity statement, if this is happening then I think you will have no integrity with me and probably many of the support.
This website has never seen so many people who argue about managers, tactics and players all pull together with almost the same views, there are some serious ST holders looking at calling it. This is not a case of having a go it is just to let you understand the depth of feeling over this, if your mantra is full punishment we will stand up and be counted with you and a 100% clear concience.
If nowt to do with you or Hibs then please get involved in making sure the integrity you spoke of is carried out to letter to best you can.
Yep probably because Sevco people are offering riches to certain people.and yes,well done the sheepQuote:
