SPL threaten breakaway second tier if clubs do not agree to Rangers plans


Recommended Posts

The Scottish Premier League could form a breakaway second tier if plans to put Rangers in the First Division are not approved by clubs.

 

STV understands a number of sides in the Scottish Football League have been warned they face being cut adrift from the top tier if they do not agree to proposals for league reconstruction.

 

Plans emerged on Thursday which would see the merger of both the SPL and SFL, the introduction of play-offs and a change to financial distribution between clubs in the top two tiers.

 

Central to the suggestions is the SPL finding means to relegate Rangers from their league, meaning they would play First Division football next season as a new company.

 

If they do not gain the approval of clubs, it is understood the long-mooted SPL2 could be created, with the ten SFL First Division sides invited to join.

What's the need for the strong arm tactics? can they not appeal to everyone's "sporting integrity" aye that will be right.

Summary, Rangers have to go somewhere, we need them back in the SPL next year, if you don't vote for it we will make a new league to put them in. Translated as, we've underestimated the amount of hatred in this country, we've been too heavy handed and we cannae dae without their money. Suits me.

Correct, and now we have to use this to our advantage.

 

If we have to go to Div 1, it's with no further sanctions, penalties or fines or we threaten to apply for Div 3, or resign completely.

 

Then we'll see if they want to sign their own death warrants.
