Gazza_8 233 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 When's the vote for this? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I honestly believe the vote for reconstruction by the SFL clubs could go either way here, Rangers need to be lobbying other clubs for a no vote. I mean how hard can it be to simply pick up a phone and discuss it with another Chairman? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie P 4 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I can't see how it won't go through: 1. All current SPL teams will vote in favour 2. At the very least, the top teams in the division one will want to ensure that if they are promoted and then relegated, they will get the parachute payment. Therefore will vote ''Aye". 3. Third division teams will be delirious for the chance to play against Rangers twice next season again. I read earlier on that it is estimated that from the Rangers ''windfall'' they have already earned more than they had earned over the past three seasons. A second year of playing against us would really keep the wolf from the door during the hard times that are sure to hit Scottish football. The only discenting voices could be those teams in Div 2, who would lose out on playing against the Rangers next season. Does anyone categorically know the number of votes that would be required to prevent this from happening? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,514 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I do think it is so wrong for Rangers not to be invited to the reconstruction talks,the biggest and most successful Scottish team not even asked for their input is shocking and a deliberate snub!. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Has there been any Media reports (papers, online etc) that have actually praised the proposed setup??? All I have seen is folk saying it won't work....While I don't quite agree that it won't work, I just can't see how there's gonna be any real improvement. From my understanding, the main focus once the leagues split will be in the middle promotion/relegation league - that's where teams really have something to fight for - if this is the case, are the main sponsors gonna be happy with that??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it will take the eye off the fact that Celtic will have walked away with another league title without a challenge. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
