Looks like the Scott Gardiner and Rangers plot has been rumbled. It was obvious from that first interview on Sportsound when Gardiner pushed the anti SPFL agenda then conveniently made his excuses to go just before the Rangers statement was dropped, this was an orchestrated campaign of disruption and it seems null and void as the end goal. Makes sense for Rangers, Gardiner has sold his club for his big team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fuvking shite. Corroborated by other Championship clubs, just as Brechin statement corroborated by other League 2 clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardiner has blindly followed the Rangers lead. Quelle Surprise! He either didn't know or didn't care what the consequences were for his own club. He was probably promised a desk near the window at Ibrox for his next job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I'd need to see something far more convincing than Daily Record journalism to believe that a serious, organised plan has been in motion. Occam's razor points to a very stupid executive in Gardiner acting on his own behalf to ingratiate himself to both his big team and former employer in the top flight, while aiming to get his current employers a grubby promotion through top flight expansion. His bullshit was called out by other Championship clubs, he lost the SPFL vote and the top flight finally crushed expansion talk on Friday: hence his tear-drenched statement at the weekend. No grand conspiracy is required to explain this one. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparticus Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 So whats been happening? Has this all been a conspiracy by Rangers,ICT,Hearts,Stranraer to use the situation to get more out of this season than they sportingly deserved? To discredit all this seasons winners and use the covid situation to do it? and in doing so making more money than they sportingly deserved? Something like that? This is a lot to take in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I can see Gardiner being thanked for all his hard work and wished well for the future sooner rather than later. Unless ICT and their fans are happy with his most recent work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannadeechee Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Scott Gardiner has now padlocked his Twitter and changed his profile picture, to one depicting a "Peoples Front of Judea" flag. I'd say that was appropriate as they were a small bunch who complained about the Romans, except for everything they did that was right & never achieved anything! Seriously though did they honestly think the other clubs involved would just sit back and take these accusations and say nothing? Aberdeen's statement if taken at face value I get. Its basically saying due to the distrust, lets have an independent investigation & that way its all done and dusted and we can the accept its findings & move on. Only problem is, as it transpires, that may be giving into "bullying" itself. Total shit show, but it is entertaining.

Frank Grimes Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Never liked the sound of Gardiner ever since his first Sportsound appearance regarding this fiasco When he laboured the point that his main motivations for voting against was to save Partick & Stranraer Utter bullshit and the panel lapped it all up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparticus Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 So if this vote fails today, does anyone think the clubs and SPFL board will just call the season finished today? There's zero chance it can be played? Really dont see any point in dragging it any further? Maybe best to just do this all at once? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeodhasXD Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 So was Inverness' plan was to null and void all the leagues? How do they then distribute the prize money? They'd need to split it evenly. To which all the 'wee' teams including ourselves smell a payday because they'll get a bigger share. Inverness don't think this is fair but everyone then turns round and says better vote yes then. Bullied with common sense if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 If someone who has a better understanding of the situation could explain what each team has to gain and why the f**k they're dragging this pish out for so long, I'd be grateful for a brief summary. What would null and void achieve? No champions? No relegation or promotion/ No prize money?? / What about European qualification? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I could see the logic of clubs taking the same stance as Aberdeen, that there's too much bad blood with allegations and counter allegations therefore we need a truly neutral independent party to confirm exactly what has gone on for relationships within the game to ever be repaired. However, it's perfectly apparent the push for an inquiry isn't just about establishing the facts after the process is complete, or more cynically wanting to settle scores and remove people at the SPFL from their posts. If that was the case then fine, few people could argue that a full investigation is worthwhile. It's pretty transparent though that Hearts, Partick and Stranraer are still clinging to this as a means of overturning the vote to end the season on PPG and slithering out of their relegation, while Rangers want to stop the title being awarded and ICT & Falkirk get to stamp their feet about, eh, being in the exact same division next season either way but with less prize money. If that's the real motive here it means an inquiry actually isn't going to be an opportunity to move on at all, as clubs will seek to use it to hold up the declaration of the end of the season and reverse the decision already supported by 80% of the clubs. That will then lead to another couple of months of fallouts and public squabbling that puts the game even further away from moving on and creates a bigger shambles rather than fixing anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea of the truth of it for Gardiner, but it's not unheard of. Tam O'Ware of Partick has a season ticket for Parkhead - while a weekend game that doesn't clash with him playing is rare, he can go whenever Partick are playing Friday night or Celtic are playing Sunday and it gives him a better chance of getting tickets for European nights when he isn't playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
