esquire8 42,465 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Need more clubs like Stranraer and less like Aberdeen. Though it is looking like Stranraer are a one off. Great to see a chairman that is standing strong by his actions when many in our game have been shown up to be incompetent wankers. When football gets back to normal they should be the first ones invited to Ibrox with a split gate 👏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Aberdeens statement though it might just be my point of view. Nowhere near as damning or wanting to push forward with this like Stranraer.

I think it reads that they’re still fairly miffed tho like you say, it’s not a patch on Stranraers. That said , yesterday’s statement from them was weak. Not knocking them as they were one of the three and have since found their balls again but shows you how quick clubs change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 BAD TIMES EX-SFA chief Regan insists SPFL have caused irreparable damage to Scottish football Colin Duncan 11 May 2020, 18:27 STEWART REGAN insists the SPFL’s mishandling of the coronavirus crisis has caused irreparable damage to Scottish football. The former SFA chief executive reckons the process to prematurely end the season was botched from start to finish. Regan feels that call, and the decision to withhold prize money until after the recent vote, has caused deep divisions which might never be repaired. Ahead of tomorrow's SPFL EGM and Rangers' motion to have an independent enquiry into the current shambles, the ex-SFA supremo lamented the sorry state of affairs. Regan said: “It is one hell of a mess and it needs unravelling. "It needs some strong leadership to try and get all of the relevant parties into one place. “It looks like herding cats by the sound of things. “I said several weeks ago that the league season needed to be played out to a conclusion. “One of the reasons for that was that if you brought it to a premature end it would require human intervention by club chairman and owners in order to decide what happens. “The minute you have some clubs intervening to decide what happens to other clubs then you have a massive problem. "And that is where we are now. “You have clubs intervening in other clubs futures and that then puts relationships on the line. “Right now it has escalated to the point people are issuing statements and making legal threats. “It has got the potential to cause relationships damages that might never be fixed. And that is not a great place for Scottish football. “Why does the season have to finish? “This is a solution which needs creative thinking - not just black and white, let's kill it and cause absolute civil war between the people sat round the table. “Why are some countries like Germany and England saying they will do what it takes to put the games back on and get the season completed?” Rangers and a number of other teams have also claimed the SPFL put pressure on clubs ahead of the vote to end the season. Regan firmly believes the whole process was unnecessarily rushed and was perplexed the Hampden chiefs didn’t hand their member clubs a financial lifeline while a more workable solution could be reached. He told BBC Scotland: “There are two fundamental flaws on how things have unfolded so far. “The first is by saying the season had to be completed to pay the money out. “There could have been an alternative which was saying you get a percentage of your money, say 80 per cent, paid up front and then when the season's finished you do the balancing act based on what else you pay. “Most clubs would not move positions dramatically from where they are now. “If you got the money out there it would help clubs to manage the cash flow challenges they were facing at the point they were asked to vote. “The second flaw was asking to make a decision in 48 hours when in reality it could have taken up to 28 days. “Those two things together have put massive pressure on Scottish football to make it like a pressure cooker situation. “And suddenly it has exploded into an independent investigation. “A request for an investigation is just a way of saying I’m dissatisfied, I’m upset with how this has materialised.” Is this interview and content commonly known and I've just missed it? 😳 Pretty fucking damning towards the conduct of the SPFL.
