The Kachloul business is one reason why I find it hard to be sympathetic to numpties like you. Now you've just given me another reason.

What was the score at Ochilv...

We could have a whip round tomorrow at some of the big games. Surely a bucket collection at County v Airdire will raise enough?

I suspect it is the players who have said "stuff this we're not playing for nothing again" and Droopy McGruther has had to say he hasn't the cash to pay them.

See if Livi do appeal and if the appeal is successful, will all posts in this thread after the League Management Committee meeting be considered as provisional and be wiped off?

It's not about justice. It's about what is right for the game in general going forward. Is it right to allow a club to run up huge debts, including signing two players in the January window, sell up when they become insolvent and come straight back next season?

The bottom line in all of this posturing from Massougall and Rankone is that they are in this to rip somebody off, somewhere along the line. Anybody can see that the Livi model is not sustainable as it stands and it would be bloody hard to get it to work even if the ground was available rent free for the foreseeable future. Massone was clearly living from hand to mouth last season to avoid dipping his hand in his own pocket and even paying the players out of the cash coming in could not be done on time. And before the Livi apologists come in and that commercial sponsors withdrew because they hated Massone, with respect that is pish. They withdrew because there is a recession, the atmosphere was crap with only 800 people next to them in the West Stand and because firts division football is pretty duff as far as entertainment goes. Massougall and Rankone will have Nixon's cash, the trust's cash and the supporters cash firmly trousered and be back over the dyke before tea time. Why? Well why else are they involved?

Yes ya daftie!

Looking forward to Duncan F doing a Hugh Dennis Mock the Week style voiceover to that.

The apathy of the Livi fans makes it even more amazing that the Chuckle brothers at the SFL seem so determined to impose them on us again this season. £10k is pretty pitiful, but it's around £200 per fan so on a per capita basis it's not too shabby. Edited to add: Only another £1.199million to go...

Does this include de facto relegation such as a fifteen point penalty for this season?

Very effective I'd say. In fact I'd suggest it was actual blackmail but McMaster and Longmuir were too stupid to recognise it.
