with rangers gone, we now need to instantly change the voting structure of the SPL. No more 11:1 ratio. Celtic can vote no, then the other 11 clubs can say yes to change. Then the SPL can move forward and make the drastic changes that are neccessary.

if the 10 SPL clubs left don't grab this opportunity to get shot of that ridiculous voting system then, shame on them

Every time i go on a Rangers site i feel dirty, but I've just seen a tremendous thread asking if they will still be in the new FIFA13 computer game hahahahahahaha

I don't know what FIFA can do about it, but in pro ev, they'll no doubt still be in the "other teams" section, with half a star.

[Eaststand]

Apologies if this is covered somewhere else on the forum, but just for simplicity...

Now that the SPL clubs have quite rightly voted the cheating huns out of the SPL, when is the next vote to determine what league they will infect next season (Am I right in thinking it's now all the non SPL clubs who vote next ?)

I'm hoping some kind person who know's the facts will take the time to reply with the time and date of the next vote and also what majority is needed to hopefully put the huns into Division 3

BBC Sportsound pundit Jim Traynor"It's been a good day in the sense that a decision has been made. I can understant the SFL chairmen being a bit annoyed.
"The SFL will now have to sort it. In certain cases and blogs, they have put us (mainstream media) to shame.
"We're basically football reporters; we've lost specialists like a dedicated financial writer. Therefore, you will suffer."


Is this a sort of, just-a-wee-bit-of-a mea culpa?

[Hibercelona]

As I understand it, the next set of votes come from the DIV1 league only. (It looks like they're going to overwhelmingly vote "no") to let newco in their league.

Then the next set of votes will then go out to all the SFL clubs (1, 2 & 3) in an attempt to get into DIV3.

I "think" thats whats going on.

[Off the bar]

I hate jim Traynor, the man is a moron

Ta for that WH
So that means that the current Div 1 teams get a vote (except Dundee who say they'll not vote on this) .....but is it a simple majority for them to decide on whether they let the huns into that league.
Do you know what date the vote will be, cos I hope to celebrate them getting bombed down into Div 3

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.

Petrie has played a blinder here. Wancaster may have been scaremongering but the reality is that the financial impact of this will cripple quite a few SPL clubs: Well, Killie, ICT, St M, St J and Hearts in particular, I would think. We are probably least affected/best-placed to survive any loss of revenue, so this gives us a real opportunity: 2nd place should be eminently within our grasp.

Some interesting stuff from Green. Sevco offered to withdraw their application to the SPL last week but a 'delegation' from the SPL told them they still had a chance of getting in. Bizarre.

I fear not, RPs blinder is overshadowed with the terrible state of affairs on park that he has been involved in. This situation was crying out for a strong Hibs to capitalise on he amongst others has left us not as strong as we should be.

A little curveball from his meeting with Petrie

Probably not, but just as likely as him blatantly lying to the Hibs support

Finally Celtic say something

http://www.celticfc.net/newsstory?item=2760

Let's see how they react when they want to change the voting system within the SPL

Easy for them to say that now, given a Yes vote by them would have been completely meaningless. Wonder which way they would have gone, had the vote been in the balance

[thefifer1959]

great news tonight the fraudsters are on the way out and into the third division. pity as they should have been booted out of Scottish football. who remembers when Rangers and Celtic wanted to go south and what they said at the time. "scottish football will survive without us" so whats changed there is green saying that Scottish football is dead if we go down..seems to me like have your cake and eat it too.

[Keith_M]

If Killie are the one club that abstained, I don't think it's fair of supporters of other clubs to punish them by deciding to boycott Rugby Park.

In the end, the vote has gone the way we wanted. Whether the Killie chairman wanted Rangers to stay in the SPL is now irrelevant. The people that will be ultimately punished by applying financial pressure, basically out of spite, are the fans of that club, who are totally innocent in all of this.

All supporters of us 'Diddy Clubs' should now be doing our level best to show we can live without Rangers, by going to as many games as possible. I'd hate to think that pettiness, spite and small minded thinking ruins the opportunity we have to make something of our league with Rangers out of the picture.

[frazeHFC]

How do you know it's the 3rd division? I hope it is though!

[Brando7]

If all SPL clubs worried about money why don't they all start an Fan share issue to raise money?

This will be making an appearance on Kickback any time soon. Enjoy your moment of "fame".

Not disagreeing with that but the point is quite a few SPL clubs are going to get weaker and we still have have the opportunity to get stronger: we're starting with a fairly clean slate and it all depends on who we can bring in over the next few weeks.

[Hibernia Na Eir]

shame on Scotland if they allow the vermin in the back door in Div 3.
Let them suffer.
As their fans remind us all, no one likes them and they don't care. Well, nor do we.

If its not the 3rd then i hope that livingston sue the arse from the SFA and SFL for putting them there when they had financial problems (and they didnt screw the books).
