Blue and True 311 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Now I know we dont like the source so Ill paste it rather than have to hit the site.who knows it may have been posted before.But having read it are the SFA/SPL telling porkies as my understanding was ALL SPL clubs had concluded the new proposals were the way to go?Anyway ignore who is making the statement.....Thoughts????Following recent media reports and in response to numerous enquiries today, it is important to clarify the Club's position on league reconstruction and merger.Chairman Stephen Thompson said: "A few months ago, we agreed for a working group from the SPL to discuss plans for taking the game forward with the SFL and to produce detailed proposals for consideration. These discussions have been ongoing but, as yet, we have not had sight of the detailed proposals."Like most supporters, our view is that the game in Scotland needs freshened up in some way. While we appreciate there may not be a perfect solution which suits all, there has to be a balance between a better, more competitive product on the pitch, more excitement and season long interest for fans and sponsors, and the need to ensure that club finances are not impaired unduly. Until we see the detail of the proposals we cannot, at this stage, comment on them."We remain as a Board of Directors open minded to change and look forward to discussing the detailed proposals in early course."

D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It was certainly my understanding all SPL clubs had accepted it - probably as a consequence of poor journalism in one of the newspapers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs1982 22 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It was certainly my understanding all SPL clubs had accepted it - probably as a consequence of poor journalism in one of the newspapers.Was it not slanty eyed Liewell that said it was unanimous rather than the journalists?

nimrod 62 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Maybe this was one of the 'professional differences' that led to his resignation from the SPL Board? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
