DA Baracus Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Just now, Ivo den Bieman said: Chairmen of other clubs should be careful trashing Inverness, any remarks they make will only add a further 2,000 words to Scott Gardiner's pompous rebuttal later on... I hope that at this stage they're just (severely) goading him to with their statements to do just that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs have voted to give the SPFL board the permission to call ir, but it hasn't been called as yet, so Hearts are still officially a Premiership team. Badly written by me. Any club needing a statement written???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 7 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: Morton confirming that Inverness were/are talking pish: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/morton-chief-trashes-inverness-null-22014426 Disappointing that we went down the old school tactic of commenting to the press instead of issuing a statement on our tinpot club website. And also that we didn't stick the boot in even further. The 9-1 verdict in the division says it all about Gardiner's ability to win friends and influence people in the game though. Inverness have got themselves a real keeper. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Celtic's statement has pointed out that they happen to be broadly in favour of a temporary league reconstruction to save clubs from relegation. Weirdly enough, this measure of support for their cause has set the Jambos on Kickback absolutely apoplectic with seethe. You'd think they'd welcome all the support they could get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) 29 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: What a disappointing statement. Coherent, no shots taken, no tears; very sterile and straightforward and, dare I say, pretty sensible. A very safe statement. Have they hired an outside organisation to write this? Usually their statements are similar to Sevco's, with tears and rage aplenty. On a side note, that website is shockingly poor for a club of Celtic's resources. 25 minutes ago, RossBFaeDundee said: Tbf it's an easy home run for them, they just needed to not appear like bad winners in an official capacity. Should just have stuck up a Captain obv meme saying, "Still winning". Edited May 12, 2020 by LIVIFOREVER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kildog Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Quite damaging for the SPFL leadership though- probably more votes for it than anyone expected. Enough for Doncaster to be thrown off the boat?Fingers crossed.Double lolz! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Spoiler CLUB VOTES AGAINST SPFL EGM RESOLUTION 16:17 Following the publication of an SPFL EGM vote on a resolution calling for an independent investigation, I set out below how Motherwell FC voted and why we came to that decision. Firstly, and contrary to various reports in the press, the board did not reach a conclusion until the weekend. This came after we had spent the appropriate time reviewing all the documentation which was supplied to clubs. As I have said before, the situation we are in has no precedent. So it is no surprise that we are all, from Government down to individuals, struggling to make sense of where we find ourselves and how best we get through. Good answers are not easy to find. It is against that backdrop that we reviewed the evidence. The key decision the SPFL board took was to propose a resolution to “call” the leagues other than the Premiership, and giving itself the power to do the latter in due course. Their rationale was twofold. 1) It was extremely unlikely this season could be finished. 2) In those circumstances the most important aspect was to protect, as far as possible, next season. As a club we felt that was the correct decision at the time and it has been confirmed over the past weeks. There are now no credible voices still arguing that the 2019/20 season can be completed. Did the evidence produced meet the high threshold required to merit an independent review of that decision and indeed an open-ended and unlimited enquiry into the whole corporate governance of the SPFL? In our view it did not. We also took into account two other factors in our decision not to support the resolution. Is this the appropriate time to divert resource into an investigation? In our view, it is not and we are surprised by the amount of effort and energy devoted to this topic at a time when Scottish football faces an existential crisis. Secondly, it is very likely that a large number of clubs will need significant help to get to the other side of this, which might in turn entail accessing money from external sources. The chance of getting that sort of funding is much reduced if we continue to fight in public. For that reason, can we not all come together as a group to try and get the best possible outcome? If in due course, when we are through this crisis, clubs feel that there should be a review of how the structure and operation of the SPFL could be improved, then we would support that and would be happy to be involved.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I'm deeming whoever releases the first statement after the decision to be utter losers and the club should just fold for an extra bit of spice.They already did fold.The Zombies are a banker for the first tear-stained meltdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
