cyderspaceman Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 There should be no conflict of interest. As soon as old Gers get papped out the SPL, Airdrie should be an SFL1 club and the only thing they should be voting for is whether to admit Sevco Scotland into SFL3 I don't suppose abstentions count as nos? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Leitch Loyal Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Let's imagine for a minute that Jim Traynor is correct and as a result of SFL clubs doing the right thing Scottish football dies. Any ideas what jobs he could do for a living? I think he could end up being a taxi driver, one of those ones who has a wrong opinion about everything. Maybe the Sunday Mail could use a new Pub Spy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I suppose I'm too late to make a "diety" joke. As in he should go on one. Got my coat. edit yes, well late I am. That's what happens when you do the right thing and start where you left off. I was surprised no-one came back with 'he's no a deity but he is a deity h*n'. I don't suppose abstentions count as nos? I suggested earlier that even on the simple majority rule it was suggested they need 15+1, so effectively an abstention would count as a no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJ Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Why do people continue to buy newspapers in this day and age? Hopefully in a few years they'll be obselete and nuggets like Traynor won't be picking up a wage to spread their pish.

Owsley Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) For Traynor & co There are for a fact ! 30 teams in Scotland who do not need the OF and whatever money they generate as they play in a completely different league than the SPL clubs ! THE SFL.The SFL generates it's own money and if these teams met with the OF in cup competitions it's a small windfall or even better they kick the OF out of the competition.SO ! if these SFL teams have kicked out the OF in cup competitions why have you never written that this is the death of cup competitions because the OF have been booted out the cup ?. Not true, SFL relies on the SPL settlement money, around £60,000 for every club. Maybe Accies and Falkirk don't rely on it exactly but I'd imagine that amount is a big issue for the likes of Stranraer and Montrose.

Borys Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Japanese tourists advised against eating square sausage and approaching folk in football tops. The 'big hoose' guy advised against wearing his football top and told to stop eating Japanese tourists. An honourable draw. Scotland 1 Japan 1.

somner`s love child Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Whilst the Daily Ranger is quite correctly getting most of the flack here can anyone say they are actually surprised by the contributions of Traynor and his cronies? What about the contribution of the Herald sport staff who in my opinion has been even more disgraceful in their peddling of Sevco scare stories. Rarely, if ever have Wilson or the other journalists came close to accepting that the placing of Sevco in SFL3 might be doing them a favour. In all my years as a Herald reader I have never known them to adopt a line which is so out of step with the majority of their readership. For the first time ever I am getting no response to emails directed to them. In the past I`ve had many items in the letters page and even on a rare occasion, the back sports page of the Monday issue but now they seem to be refusing to allow an alternative view or even to accept criticism of the journalistic standards. I wonder how the rest of the paper`s staff feel about such biased and ill informed writing. I wonder if Doug Gillon in his capacity as sports editor, who has always seemed to take extremely high moral lines where sporting integrity is concerned , has been sidelined by this issue?. Who is pulling the strings at the Herald ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber won't get to see the paperwork on who owns Greyskull today , I can hear the angry ring pull rippppppppppppppppp from here . On an aside, Fat boy said £16m will be lost from the Scottish game I think. What was the currants wage bill?

Of course it's a bigger deal the lower down the leagues you go, fortunately most clubs will just chop that amount off their playing budget, no big deal just shittier players or same players on shittier wages, can't imagine many 3 and 4 year contracts floating about in the seaside leagues. I think they call it fiscal prudence, some of the overspenders should try it, it's painful but do-able. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Down at that Harry Potter tour in London with the missus. Didn't realise Jim Traynor was moonlighting as a tour guide in the 'mythical creatures' section. http://twitter.com/mikey1421/status/219828149305872386/photo/1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 SPL would be in breach on contract if it stopped paying would expect unless it includes clauses which state in the event of Rangers .............................. People are getting a bit silly now. Although I don't think it's been answered either way, who's to say the Settlement amount isn't co-linked to SPL income, for example if income halves > Settlement halves? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) I'm just going to come out and say it. Do all these media dix like Traynor and Keevins all want us to let Rangers/sevco away with anything purely in the interest that they are "too big to lose?" Are they seriously trying to tell everyone in Scottish football to turn a blind eye to this when it is the old firm but don't let the "diddies" away with it? These men actually get paid big money to print their thoughts in newspapers and spout nonsense on the radio for fuxake. This is the kind of loony thinking you'd find from the cumstains on Rangers media, not the kind of thoughts that should be coming from "journalists". Just as an after thought. They love the line "Scottish football will die without Rangers" what they forget is who sticks around to watch it and pay for it if the competition is massively rigged? I can see even sevco fans walking away if they realise the competition is massively rigged in their favour. Not as much fun winning when you realise the rules are bent in your favour Edited July 2, 2012 by Gaz FFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don't think it's been answered either way, who's to say the Settlement amount isn't co-linked to SPL income, for example if income halves > Settlement halves? No idea how its worded nor will Keevins, both SPL and SFL work under the Companies Act 2006. Agree it is getting silly but so is the running of Scottish football these days so my apologises for being a bit silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p&b is a disgrace Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm just going to come out and say it. Do all these media dix like Traynor and Keevins all want us to let Rangers/sevco away with anything purely in the interest that they are "too big to lose?" No. They want us to let Rangers/sevco away with everything sothat they can continue to earn a big fat paycheck by writing OF sectarian centric pish on a daily basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 People are getting a bit silly now. Although I don't think it's been answered either way, who's to say the Settlement amount isn't co-linked to SPL income, for example if income halves > Settlement halves? What do you think SPL income would be based on though? Presumably, the only income the SPL has its the tv deal and any sponsorships. I cant imagine the clubs contribute anything directly, or do they? Hard to see how the tv deal and sponorship money would half simply with no Rangers. Also, do you know if the assumption that the money is scaled down the leagues is correct too? If it is, then the impact on clubs is likely to be even less severe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glensburgh Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 As I read the bomber story I noticed this quote from M.Murray Sevco Scotland submitted membership application documents to the Scottish Football Association on Friday night and are awaiting decisions over which level of football they can relaunch Rangers next season. So I googled the word in bold (to be sure), World English Dictionary relaunch - vb 1. to launch again 2. to start, set in motion, or make available again and yep he reckons the oldco are dead. I wonder if he's told his prospective ST holders yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
