One thing to remember is that the SFL3 clubs will now be on television I would imagine they will make more cash from adverts round the ground and from adverts on their strips. I would imagine Rangers fans will moan at how little they will receive but their kit deal and shirt sponsor deal will be worth loads more if on the telly. An element that is often forgotten on the TV deal is that clubs in the SPL will receive loads more from having their adverts on the telly. (I would imagine the doomsday scenario that Doncaster/Regan fed involved a massive drop in sponsors money lost through not being on telly). You would think at hibs for example if they are even half way clever Crabbies would pay more cash based on TV appearances. The 1million offer for Rangers to be in the first division has to be the stupidest low ball bribe ever in the history of business. Irn Bru seem to have got a bargain deal out of the whole Rangers thing. (they deserve that as they seem to be a good sponsor)

Cant believe people are still asking Doncaster 'Is this really really going to happen, what about SPL2 what about another last minute vote ,what about the SFA they can still get them back in the SPL , 'facilitate' what about that is that about getting them back in the SPL' next it will be 'what about next season can we vote them back in then. What about we create SPL2 next year' Regan/Doncaster bluff fest really did a number on some people. Even Yorkstone tonight was even hinting that its not over yet blah blah blah. Every single interviewer trying to get some kind of certainty. In reality Doncaster must be embarrassed that know one now trusts a single thing he says and that's a fact. As soon as the SFL voted them in SFL3 that was that. Its over the fans and good guys have won a fight that should never have been needed.

You could see Jim desperate to find out what facilitate means to rangers. 'Can you tell me Neil 'facilitate' its not over is it your going to 'facilitate''

For the Love of God will Doncaster and Regan GTF. (apologies for links to the Sun below. Also I think they they will be in SFL3 for sure now) Now they hope to overcome the vote by 25 of the SFL's 30 clubs to banish the Light Blues into the bottom tier of Scottish football — by creating a new SPL2 league. And there are even plans to consider reinstating Rangers to the SPL at a crisis meeting on Monday. The plans are being driven by SPL supremo Neil Doncaster and SFA chief Stewart Regan, who has said putting Rangers in the Third Division rather than the first division would bring about a "slow, lingering death" to Scottish football. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/feeds/smartphone/scotland/4428910/Rangers-vote-They-sink-its-all-over.html Also Bill Leckie now the voice of the people wtf So the blazers can scheme and scam all they like to try and shoehorn through an EssPeeEll2. Let me tell them this here and now, though: If they get away with it, THEY'RE the ones who'll kill our game. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/4428954/Dont-let-em-shaft-us-again.html

Rangers will be in division 3 next year. The usual media outlets will say nothing is final but they are now - A member of the SFL - In the SFL3 What are they going to do resign and give two year notice. Its over and I hope fans of other clubs will back them by turning up to games/buying a season ticket or doing whatever they can afford to do.

Does anyone believe this SPL2 nonsense. Surely they would need a majority of all clubs in SFL and SPL to agree or its a non starter. When the SPL started did the clubs have to give two years notice ? How can they force SPL2 on clubs. It appears the threats in that document were all total bluffs that know one has fell for. I predict that even when rangers are in SFL3 with the fixtures out,there will be weekly press stories that they could any day now be sent straight back to the SPL/SFL1 and so on.

Its believed the SPL offered SFL - play offs(not sure if this is just for one season) - 1 million bribe Doncaster would have to have permission from the SPL clubs to give away their money(Could it be SFA money?). Doncaster must have permission on the play off place(the part of the bribe that maintains the 2nd place team SFL can have a chance of SPL after rangers walk the league(their plan) So all the clubs in the SPL will be in favour of this. I would imagine it would take a 10-1 vote to push through the proposal to get the bribe in place. So make no mistake all the SPL clubs are involved. I think they would see that rangers cannot be in europe for 3 years anyway(the length of time you could say it would take them to get back in the SPL). So the clubs will just see them as a way to get a better TV deal and they would not have much bearing on the competition. However one point is that imagine rangers are in the SPL in the top 6 and cant get into europe. The top 6 is a battle of european places and one club cannot qualify. This is incredibly stupid as for instance - Rangers make the top 6 41 - Hearts make the top 6 41 - Dundee united make the top 6 41 -hibs dont make the top 6 40 - Aberdeen dont make the top 6 40 So Rangers stop another team of even competing for a european place they cant compete for. Who knows what level of stupid we will get next. In effect if you pay any money to your club next year a percentage of that will be to facilitate a bribe of 1 millions pounds to allow rangers to compete at the highest level possible. Stick that in your season ticket broacher SPL clubs !

I keep posting that hibs made the point the vote should not be delayed. Which happened on the 29th so clubs at that point were probably looking for a delay. We know that Doncaster is looking to delay who else is. This is a mess. The Chairman made the point that the vote should proceed without any further delay and that Hibernian FC will vote against the share transfer. The resolution will fail if four other clubs vote against it or abstain. If as a result of the vote on 4 July the Rangers newco is not voted into the SPL then it will be for other bodies to decide if and at what level Rangers might be accommodated within Scottish football.

I agree however I think that Celtic must be backing his viewpoint not publicly. Afterwards when there goal is achieved (rangers in the SPL with sanctions) they can say what their fans want to hear. There is clear indication (if the media would bother to check) that Publicly Aberdeen and Hibs want the vote to go ahead.

You think Doncaster would come and say that pish if celtic were not in agreement. I doubt he cares what Aberdeen or hibs think or hearts. You think he would disregard the opinion of Celtic of which he must know and is surely banking on.

Doncaster must be doing what the clubs tell him to do. They can sack him if they want. The really sad thing is that fans who have went out and bought season tickets on the back of 'NO' votes have been conned. The clubs have took the money and now can do what they want. I actually thought it was correct that they backed their club but now it seems those same clubs are letting Doncaster look like the bad guy. If the vote is postponed today it is over. The SPL will simply wait and wait till they get the decision they want.

This was in the Sun so could be nonsense but every time I start to get angry about this Rangers stuff something funny happens. (refused to turn up WTF. The SPL chairmen dont seem to be the best of pals either) A planned meeting of 11 SPL clubs — without Gers — was called off last night after some refused to attend.

If the SFL clubs must vote Rangers into SF1 I want to see them add the following condition 1.) Neil Doncaster and Stewart Regan And Jim Traynor live on Sky Sports must - Present them the SFL3 and SFL2 trophys to Ally Mccoist and sevco with streamers and balloons every Sevco player must stand inline and receive their medals. 2.) They have to cut back to Jim White in the studio for some kind of witty comment

Ok so say Celtic & St mirren Boards are actually very in favour of Rangers going into SFL1. We know for a fact St miren are in favour(although only for money reasons). Celtic have not said anything(Their fans may assume they are not in favour,however they must be in favour, as surely if Rangers whilst liquidated can influence scottish football surely a solvent Celtic could force the SFL3 issue) Now next season Rangers win SFL1 (all is great ) - St mirren get relegated to SFL1 - Celtic Win SPL Season after - Rangers on there first season back up sweep to a domestic treble under new funding - Celtic come 2nd - St mirren dont achieve promotion So in two years the decision to parachute Rangers to the top of the sfl structure will really come back to bite some clubs. Any clubs who end up relegated from the SPL whilst rangers swap places. Their fans will they show the loyalty to these clubs any more ? My own conclusion is who gives a f**k any more the people who run our game have shown their true colours whatever happens now there will be people turning their back on the game. Not Sevco Or Celtic fans they will be back foaming at the mouth the next time they meet.
