scottyc06 6,915 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Three SPL clubs withdrawing membership due to the harsh treatment handed out to us? Find this hard to believe! For a start, their finances have already taken a massive hit by kicking us tu the league, why would they then destroy themselves by getting rid of the remaining money pot they have. Also, to use 'the treatment rangers have had' as the main reason clubs would withdraw a membership is ridiculous aswell! If turns out to be true my apologies will be heard, however I don't see it being true!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiebreak54 151 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Sounds wonderful. Killie, Ross County and Well?Id go with those clubs as well. It makes absolutely no sense for SPL clubs in financial disarray to continually kick the biggest club in the land. They need us desperately to survive.

Ricky_ 893 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I read a statement from VB recently and they stated they deal only in facts, not rumours.i prefer they didnt publish this tbh - it certainly seems like rumour, and not mention, incredibily far fetched. Do we honestly think clubs in the SPL would resign because of how we have been treated? REALLY? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Atheist 178 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Clubs have to give 2 seasons notice before they can withdraw so that might be a bit of a sticking point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALLY?If the SPL clubs are aware of re structuring in the pipe line then this could force it through sooner rather than later.Just a thought It's will be down to money and nothing to do with harsh treatment of us.

Tiebreak54 151 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It also makes no financial sense for any of those clubs to now withdraw from the SPL!Yes, I agree. I do not think withdrawing their membership is a realistic outcome. I do think that clubs in the SPL are slightly baffled at the agenda of a certain few clubs within their structure, and are beginning to find their voice. The SFL now have the number 1 asset in the game within their organisation, and while that remains, the SPL will limp along. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango 341 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It also makes no financial sense for any of those clubs to now withdraw from the SPL! these clubs new the cost off loosing Rangers why would they now withdraw from the spl,it would be financial suicide.If they didn't agree with our treatment they should have spoken out when they had the chance,hope I'm wrong but sounds far fetched Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willger 14 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 These clubs are about to be hit with a massive legal bill so as celtic can steal 5 titles from Rangers. It would be understandable if some of them didn't feel compelled to lay out this cash.Im sure i read the legal bill currently stood at over £1m. That will soar if we take them into a real court where they may be asked to pay our costs if we win our case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 1,941 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 This is in line with rumours I've been hearing. What form these clubs' dissent will take is not clear, but could involve anything from making their concerns public to handing in their two years notice.

trueblueal 2,117 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 To those saying it would be financial suicide to leave the SPL. If they left there would be NO SPL. It would have to be disbanded and restructuring brought forward. All that is required is for the SFL clubs to stand firm and refuse to make up the numbers.

loyalandtrueblue 69 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 As much as i would wish this to be true, i just really cannot see any club in the SPL breaking away.They might make their voices heard at meetings but will stop short of breaking away or speaking out publically.In saying that stranger things have happened, so who knows?What i can see is that the more the real truth starts to unravel regarding the obvious witch hunt against us, then slowly but surely even the decent fans of other clubs out there will start to make their feelings be known,especially when it starts to affect their own clubs.
