League FC chairman: "Yes there's a fair bit of talk about a possible vote of no confidence in Stewart Regan and Neil Doncaster."

Alot of clubs arent buying SFA or SPL brand of bull****.

Reagan, Doncaster & Sevco could be out of on their arses tomorrow evening!

Eirebear · 12-07-2012 05:42PM

Rangers in the 3rd division, Doncaster and Regan sacked (Especially Regan) and proposals put in place for mass restructuring of the Scottish league.

Rangers fans want it, Celtic fans want it, Arbroath fans want it, Clyde's Fan wants it

.

Why can't the authorities see it?

cruiserweight · 13-07-2012 09:24AM

Meeting to start at 11 and it has been announced that Dundee will get to vote, so 30 possible votes

cruiserweight · 13-07-2012 09:26AM

Another great statement from Clyde http://www.clydefc.co.uk/statement2.html

yeah, pretty much sums up the bullsh1t that is going on and why Rangers won't be listed there come the start of the season.

I feel today could be a very sad day for Scottish Football.

It's exactly why it should happen imo.

The cash injection for these clubs and the rest as Rangers rise up the divisions will be a huge benefit to the game.

Dempsey · 13-07-2012 12:07PM

Why it should happen is because its the rules and exceptions should be made for noone

I'm joking!

The whole point of SPL2 is to get Sevco back into the SPL by next season. I dont think they can carry out that threat within ~16 days. It would be some farce for Doncaster and Reagan to try it even. They have enough votes of no confidence against them as it is!

Good point... For all the threats about it, there isn't very much time to formulate that now with the season just around the corner.

Savage Tyrant · 13-07-2012 01:12PM

The press conference is live on Sky Sports News in a few minutes.

Newco Rangers will play in Division 3 of the SFL next season #bbcsportsday

I sincerely hope Doncaster and Regan leave it at that, so all of Scottish football can finally prepare for the upcoming season.

Well not this season obviously, but if they do it before the start of next season, Sevco essentially skip a division and would still be in the SPL a season earlier than under the current setup, no? (assuming they go straight through the divisions in each case).

Today is the rebirth of Scottish football. If clubs die, then so be it.

Only right decision.

Well run clubs should see this as an opportunity, and everyone should see that no club will escape punishments for wrong-doing.

Today is the day that current form of the SPL dies and good riddance to it.

They believe Sky would wait 1 year but I dont know about 2, hence the SPL2 idea but its dead in the water imo

Longmuir: Res 1: 29-1 Res 2: 25 in favour of Div 3

Fenian Army · 13-07-2012 01:26PM

I'm just imagining loads of people waking up, hungover to fcuk after yesterdays orgy of bigotry and getting this news...

Feel a little sorry for the decent fans though, but its the best outcome all round.

HoggyRS · 13-07-2012 01:29PM

Delighted that the clubs didn't give into any of the bully boy tactics going on. I can't say i'm not absolutely delighted about this btw.

Helix · 13-07-2012 01:36PM

fair play to the scottish clubs. only real option from the very start

StephenHendry · 13-07-2012 01:36PM

the correct decision was made to have rangers in SFL 3 for the new season, livingston were severely punished as well and were made to start from the SFL 3 when they had their difficulties a few years ago. it sends a message out what will happen if any of the other SPL clubs find themselves in a similar position

Absolute rubbish.

A club that has cheated is punished accordingly.

mike65 · 13-07-2012 01:43PM

Its the only logical thing to do, but the fall out in the SPL is going to be very high surely?

i think it's being overstated. the tv deal is worth buttons in reality at £8m a year split among 12 clubs. and not having rangers coming to your stadium once or twice a year wouldn't see that much of a revenue drop, particularly when weighed against the massively increased likelihood of non-old firm clubs winning the occasional cup and qualifying for europe now

It would have been dead if this DIDN'T happen... If one team is given unfair advantage over others then it ceases to be a "sport" and becomes a form of WWE-like "sports entertainment"

This is the chance Scottish football needs to be reborn. It may be hard going initially but the whole game could be stronger for it in 10/15 years.
