Too many folks here already had him hung drawn and quartered before any facts have come out, and, still to do so

Sadly, the behaviour of many senior figures (who should be trustworthy) has lead to the ordinary person assuming they are all crooked, scheming bully boys who pay lips service to the wishes of the common fan, natural justice and sporting integrity until their action prove otherwise. And for good reason. Petrie and all the others still have work to do before they will have finally done the right thing.

So he voted no tae them being in the SPL, so did most others, does that mean any of them couldnae be party tae trying tae fudge them in tae SFL one? It's two different things.

Doncaster was just out there doing his own thing was he? If so why is he still in a job?

You shouldn't just make the assuption that RP would have voted yes if more clubs voted yes.

He was the first to speak out against them and now he's voted "no" against them.

You can look at "but ifs" all you want, but the vote was "no".

Dundee been advised that they will not have a vote on the newco to SFL due to a direct conflict of interest.

Looks like its definitely them coming up.

I read the rules somewhere, but can't find them now. It's something like financial details for the last three years based on audited accounts but doesn't need the accounts themselves. I guess a newco could avoid the requirement by stating that their financial details were nil as they weren't in existence, and audited accounts would support this when they were available within the normal legal timeframe.

is it not that the UEFA license needs 3 years audited accounts and to play in the SPL you need an UEFA license?

Not being allowed to vote so i'm guessing Dunfermline not be allowed also until they confirm who is up

Doesnt seem like it as they say "We were the only team in Division 1 told this as no other Club was conflicted."

That's my understanding of it.

For SFA entry, as I read it, it says "only" approved accounts. ie don't need to be audited. It looks like they are only needed for one year, which stuffs Sevco anyway.

Without SFA entry, that would disbar them from the SFL, no?

Interesting they also say that there is a large penalty for abstaining in a vote like this, unless there are extraordinary circumstances.

Does this mean Killie could be punished for not voting?

No. That was an SPL vote.

Does anyone know the official vote count, all I seem to see is overwhelming not unanimous.

10-1, with Killie abstaining and the Huns voting for themselves.

Well done Rod on forcing through the vote today, as you said you would.

dont see why they are not allowed to vote because of a conflict of interest when rangers were just allowed to vote in whether they should be allowed into the SPL.

A Westminster committee is to hold an inquiry into the state of Scottish football.
Members of the media and sport committee at the House of Commons will begin taking evidence next week

from the BBC

[GreenCastle]

So Killie will miss out on newco money next season and now probably have upset Celtic and other SPL clubs also.

If they had voted No then they would have upset newco but the rest of the SPL clubs would have still given them money.

Makes no sense to me

Yet another absurdity in this whole saga. Each time rules stretched or bent just that little bit in Rangers' favour but they still can't get a result.

To be fair to Green and Rangers after his statement outside Hampden today it isn't them putting pressure on clubs or SFL but the authorities are a different story.

Killie are skint ENDOF. They did and will open 3 stands to Smellic next year in order to get dosh. If theyve abstained then **** them too. Money grabbing whores.

For me, there was only ever going to be 29 clubs voting; everyone in the SFL, except Dundee or Dunfermline. Makes sense to me, given that one of those two won't be playing in that league next season.

But my point is that - looks like they have shot themselves in the foot as now people know they didn't vote - which is pretty much saying we support Rangers. So they will have Celtic and other SPL clubs against them instead of newco only in the longer run - that could be up to 3 years time!
