Wouldn't all the SPL clubs have to agree to this, and those who'd be joining from the SFL? I cant see this happening that quickly, surely this has no chance?Originally Posted by Andy74

I also notice that the SFL refer to an alternative arrangement that they have turned down - was that the restructure or the simple Huns in Div 1 option? Originally Posted by blackpoolhibs

The long con continues....Neil Doncaster and SFA counterpart Stewart Regan gave to clubs last week that the SPL will introduce a plan for SPL 2 - which would include Rangers - and invite existing Division One members to join.
Fight goes on...

"Oh give me a home where there's no Huns at all and no bigots to sadden my eyes"
Symapthies to the poor wee towns who will suffer the Rangers invasion next season but this was the only correct decision and there had better be no dark arts to fast-track der Hun back to the SPL. Jim White close to tears on SSN.

Gordon Smith looks a bit teary..
And can I just say, to every other "Diddy Team" and every other "Diddy Fan" who spoke against this criminal act. I thank you !

13-07-2012 02:13 PM #17888I think after a while some fans could have came to terms with them being properly voted into division 1 Originally Posted by ScottB

IMO there are very few who could accept the above
The former woudnt have been a tipping point for me
The latter certainly will
SPL would be absolutely mental to even try for that option, so it figures they probably willLast edited by BSEJVT; 13-07-2012 at 02:38 PM.

Depends on whether Regan has the backing of the SFA Board and SPL Club Chairmen. I suspect he has lost the war and does not realise it yet. Expect to see him become an increasingly isolated figure over the next few days as those who previously supported him behind the scenes now race to distance themselves from him in public. At least I hope that's what's going to happen. Originally Posted by The Wee Hibby

Why are they referring to Rangers F.C. when Rangers don't exist? Originally Posted by YehButNo But

The idea of getting an SPL2 up and running before the beginning of the season is an utter non-starter. That idea should be firmly rejected before the end of the day.
SFA and the Leagues should commit to having a new structure in place for the beginning of 13/14 season - this would give time for proper consultation between now and Christmas, followed by 7 months to implement the new structure properly. This would include a proper pyramid system and one governing body.
I'm not sure how Doncaster and Regan can keep their jobs after this. It is simply preposterous that it has taken this long to reach the most obvious and just conclusion. Now, Dundee / Dunfermline??
To be fair, the Rangers fans on the BBC at least are taking this well, saying that Div 3 is the best outcome. It DOES allow newco Rangers to enter the new season untarnished, and their fans should have some fun along the way. The SFL clubs will no doubt be licking their lips at the thought of enhanced gates from Rangers fixtures, and why not? They should enjoy a little boost in attendance and increased media profile.

The season starts in 2 weeks and the SPL have to announce on Monday whether Dundee or DAFC will be in the SPL, so this will be a short sharp fight. Originally Posted by The Wee Hibby

IMHO Regan and Doncaster to be out of their jobs come Monday.

They talk about it as if Rangers have been voted down!
When actually, this "new team" have been promoted directly into the SFL!

I wonder if Traynor is looking forward to visiting these unambitious social clubs that rangers will be playing against next season.

Rangers, on the club website, said they faced an "uncertain" future.
The club added: "Now understood that on the back of a briefing SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster and SFA counterpart Stewart Regan gave to clubs last week that the SPL will introduce a plan for SPL 2 - which would include Rangers - and invite existing Division One members to join."

He probably has the backing of the majority of the SFA Board, not so sure about the SPL Chairmen, I could see some support from them, not much though. Regardless of whether or not he has the backing the fact is, is that he is seemingly hell bent on getting Rangers a few steps closer to the SPL. Originally Posted by Paisley Hibby

Gordon Smith on SSN a few mins ago suggesting that "Rangers" fans knew who the "25" clubs are and may well choose to boycott them - i.e. not travel to away matches. Lovely people. Originally Posted by jacomoseven

But the SFL clubs only gave the "Rangers" supporters what they wanted according to their poll as reported in the press. Why would they now boycott them? Originally Posted by Onion

No SPL 2 this season
There should not be any thought of a new SPL 2 this season. I'm all for reconstruction of the league, but not to satisfy the greed of one club or to cover up the ineptitude of two senior officials. Regan and Doncaster should be out ASAP!!!!!!!!
