What everyone forgets is that Ken is the SPFL rep for league 2 ( and possibly also league 1) and has to go with the general opinions of all the clubs he represents. His actions would have been the same no matter the position of his club . Whether or not he infuenced the original vote is total speculation and as you say we will probably never find out but I am certain that, had he made any suggestion to other clubs about saving his own club , that would have most certainly been mentioned in the "dossier" in stronger terms than "it was alleged" . As for the LL and HL clubs , there was a sub committee set up to discuss restructuring . It would be interesting to find out what was the main cause of the breakdown and whether it was a total lack of respect for LL and HL or whether the main discussion was purely centred on trying to save Hearts. Again pure speculation on this issue and something we will probably never find out. Edited May 9, 2020 by theoriginalhedge 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who thinks that Donald Findlay or any other spfl Chairman is going to do as he tells them has lost the plot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Phoenix Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Instead of castigating Ken Ferguson (and Brechin City) on a Fan’s Forum why not ask the other 19 Clubs in SPFL1 & 2 whether Ken stepped out of line at any point during this debacle (or indeed at any point during his tenure)? I’ll give you a 100% guarantee that you’d get 19 Clubs confirming that Ken has behaved impeccably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Ken Ferguson wasn't the one that put an end to the reconstruction vote, it was the top flight. Regardless of whether he would've voted for it or not, it was taken out of his hands so he can't be to blame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They jump on a rumour , add arms and legs to sensationalise or to suit their own agenda and publish it as exclusive news. They are the real problem . Trouble is , people seem to take their word as gospel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie king mvp Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 It might be worth remembering at this point that if we had employed a half decent football manager in the last five years we wouldn’t be in this position. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about every fuckin club in Scotland coming together for the common good of the game and stop trying to get one up on the other ? How football can even contemplate starting up again with all the seperate agendas going around is beyond me. Clubs in every league seem to have issues with at least one other and understandably with the SPFL. Time for everyone to be adult enough to admit their mistakes as I'm sure there is more than one guilty party . The damage being done to the reputation of Scottish football is scandalous and almost at the point of no repair. I can only hope that the EGM on Tuesday is constructive and people don't just partake with the sole intention of beating the life out of each other which is what they appear to have been doing for the last few weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, posted this elsewhere, although there's probably also all the uncertainty and financial stress contributing to it. 4 hours ago, welshbairn said: I wonder if all these tantrums, some justified, would have happened if the people involved were talking face to face instead of on Zoom and Whatsapp? All this talk of bullying and fiendish plots sounds like teenagers arguing on Twitter or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BendtnerBairn Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hi Lads - hope you're all well. Just dropping in to say I have just created a new Scottish Football magazine and Callum Tapping features in the first issue. He talks about his career to date and we spoke at great length about his time at Brechin and what the club meant to him - a really good and interesting read! If you're interested, you can pre order via the link below: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/scottkelly/stonewaller-magazine-number-1?ref=project_build 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
