bluenose48 951 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 His offer to fund a fully independent inquiry into the SPFL must be making a few sphincters to quiver at Hampden. One of the sticking points being thrown up by those against an enquiry is the cost to clubs in the present financial situation. There you go fixed. Now lets see who is serious.

VanVeenRangers 2,543 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 We are now in control. Rangers are playing this very nicely. We have to keep it going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Was hoping for this, gives us more control on who does the inquiry and it’s scope. It must be allowed to get to the root of the issue, why did SPFL lie, bully and corrupt to push through their agenda? That needs answered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Traive 22,873 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 There are clubs on one side (us, Falkirk, Thistle, Hearts etc) and a cabal controlled by fenians (Hibs, Dundee Hibs, scum, Accies etc) but the vast majority are just trying to get by. There is no way that these neutral clubs can think that everything is ideal in terms of the running of the SPFL so, when a proper external, independent inquiry is offered, free of charge, why on earth would you say no? What is there to lose? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 14,603 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Not to put a wee damper on this, but I’m sure an individual (our club) would raise some bias if they were to foot the bill for something deemed “independent” - they would not be involved any any setting of the scope or parameters of any such investigation and have to be confident that the SPFL board would do this in conjunction with member clubs. it’s a tricky one tbh.

Im just throwing something into the mix and hopefully it’s done with proper due diligence that’s all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
