Guest KarlG45 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 At least for a wee while, until we can figure out another way to get them back into the SPL asap Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeonBlue 378 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 What is not being reported is that these were handed out to all clubs in the SPL from Mr. Green and McCoist as a thank you for the last 12 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblybear 258 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Colin, Gers fan in Argyll: "Totally appropriate that a team that has been in Admin twice for financial mismanagement replaces one rightly demoted for it!!" says it all really!

TheBluebells 6,898 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 David Conn @david_conn SPL just announced; Dundee to take Rangers' place, and SPL will "work with" SFA and SFL to facilitate Rangers in Div 3. So no breakaway SPL2Posted this in another thread.Something has obviously been agreed at the meeting to minimize the financial impact to the spl otherwise i don't see why this outcome would have happened.Whatever happens i doubt it will be of any benefit to us, i expect some more 'sporting integrity' (stop laughing) chat soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy 1,308 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 SPL of 14 for season 2013-2014 and Rangers will be invited in?Still don't think the SFA/SPL will allow Rangers to be absent more than a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy 1,308 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 So I am a bit confused, does the SFL's refusal to put Rangers in SFL1 mean that the promised league reforms of play-offs, extra cash for SFL, merge SPL/SFL, etc are now off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peasie 103 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 So when do Rangers get to find out if they've been accepted in the SFA?First game is in 12 days time and still unsure of which players are staying and can't sign any new players until the club have SFA licence.And has Rhegan not resigned yet?

Why wouldn't the top two clubs in Division 1 be invited ahead of a Club in Division 3 (possibly promoted to Division 2)?The only way I could see them doing this is if there is a financial meltdown in terms of Clubs over the next twelve months and it is sold as a package to "save Scottish football".I expect every SPL club will have alerted agents throughout the UK of the price of each of their playing squad and hope to sell off as many as possible to cover themselves for the year ahead.

Shuggy 1,308 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 "SPL will "work with" SFA and SFL to facilitate Rangers in Div 3"Does the SPL care to expand on how they will "facilitate" Rangers? It's the SFL's jurisdiction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
