scarkev 3,540 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 One of the only sensible callers on Clyde 1 raised a really good point tonight.....the SPL has a current debt of 11 million pounds divided equally between 12 clubs....now is one of the main reasons to push through reconstruction (as well as tie us in) to shed or dilute their debt amongst 42 clubs? Interesting question that I hope someone puts to Doncaster....either way although I agree with playoffs etc if it means handing more power to the current SPL cabal then the game is in even more trouble long term!

They are promising this money to be distributed yet have no sponsor, a hidden tv deal and historical debt of over 10 million....where is the money coming from?

StornowayBlue 630 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Great question, but I fear we will never know m8. Doncaster will squirm out of it with some bullshit answer like he always does. Looks now like it's going to happen and there's SFA we can do about it. I don't expect to ever see their next set of results. There is nothing else for them to gain but to shed debt/lawsuits and swallow up our money. They will dress it up as the SPL need a strong league below them and all that jazz and we'll just have to swallow it. English actually backed Doncaster for the top job - incredible.

StornowayBlue 630 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I think it's supposed to be the Scottish Professional Football League, so could well be a newco. Pity the league body doesn't need to show 3 yrs full accounts to Uefa before allowing clubs to represent them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditch the debt with newco.the creditors would just love that - who'd ever do business with them again? i just don't get how a couple of play-offs between non-entity clubs is going to make Scottish football more attractive or more sustainable. the English premiership is the only show in town, SPL, SPFL or whatever can't compete with that they're just flogging the poor old dead horse Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,097 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 So we will NEVER see just how much the sphell lost without Scotlands Biggest And Most Sucessful Football Club propping them up!?This newco league would STOP/Allow the sphell to just say " ach dont worry..sweep sweep..were ok now..honest"??Surely that CANT/WONT HAPPEN!?..

Albertz 78 918 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Pretty sure a newspaper ran an article a few weeks back saying any new league would have to be called spl as that's who sky have signed a contract with to show games, if it's not called the spl and changed it's name to the spfl sky could walk.Ralph topping also let the cat out of the bag on snyde that they can't find a sponser for the spl alone, this is why they need Rangers under their jurisdiction.

Bad Robot 21,149 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 What or where did the debt come from?Im sure all directors of the 42 are more than aware of any debt and of any proposed solution to service it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgers 565 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The SPL owe £500k alone for the failed title thieving debacle, who's going to pay for that? I hope they don'y try and blackmail us again, more probably it will be paid by the money they would have used as the annual payment to the SFL. So in reality the SFL money will pay their debts imo.
