"Scotland Has Too Many Clubs" - Ann Budge

Ann Budge seems to be a sensible enough person, look at the turnaround at Hearts. So her ideas about the league are probably pretty near accurate.

Aye sensible enough to arrange to bump a shed load of debt and start again only one division down. She's a miracle worker.

Just a word of warning .  In  1964  Rangers tried to implement the same kind of plan .  They lobbied clubs to gain support to raise a motion to have 5 ( or 6)  of the lowest placed and supported clubs removed from the league to enable more money to be allocated to the higher leagues.  A lot of bribery and underhand deals were struck and it was only the battling determination and togetherness of the wee clubs which won through in the end.  Legal judgements were passed at the time to ensure the same thing didn't happen again ............But here we have the same scenario developing it seems for much the same reasons.    I only hope the lawyers are poised to kick this ridiculous idea into touch once and for all.

Bump

Should that not be "thud'?

It appears her club are in the shit(once more), and the only way out is to screw about with league numbers.

As for the offer of £2million split between 42 clubs? Really?

Be honest Ms Budge, this whole episode of supposed philanthropy is for one thing and one thing only.

If your club had been 11th ,you would have kept schtum.
