54andcounting 0 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 With the serious problem that Dunfermline AFC face I was wondering what fellow fans thoughts were on the suitable outcome for them and their fans and the other clubs who will surely follow their predicament. Generally the feeling is to hell with them, f**k them! If I'm honest with myself I'd say I don't want to see any club in Scotland die, yes even SPL clubs, the same clubs who kicked us almost to death. My preference would be for them to form a newco, retain their history and start again in the bottom tier and work their way back up. Anybody thinking the same, or would you want them to die completely leaving their fans with no football club any more? Die or work your way back? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF2008 0 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 There's only one club I'd be happy to see die, a few that I'm indifferent about. None of those are the one's in immediate peril though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF2008 0 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I should probably add that I am itching to see any SPL club having to form as a Newco just to see if they're treated in the same way as us. ...Except for Dundee who are as good as relegated and following two recent insolvencies would maybe deserve at least as bad as what we got. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenzEK 0 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 After having to listen to the pish spouted by John Yorkston over the years I would take a fair amount of pleasure in seeing them disappear up their own arse! Not so smug now! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Not one of them could do what we did, they don't have the fan base. If they Newco it will be a long long long road back up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,247 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Have to agree with GA , there is not another team in Scotland bar septic who could do what we are about to do , they dont have either the support or market appeal to gain sponsorship etc to help fund a return to what ever league the top is in a year or so , even Hearts will struggle to return . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,299 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 If they all think this is bad just wait until they find out the truth about last summer's SKY deal liewell & dumbcaster got for them................ I think I'm correct to say clubs are due an end of season payment from the SPL /SFL. Wonder how much (or how little) it might be............... Ho Ho Ho Ho........ah well. They would listen to LIewell so hell mend them 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big questions (so far) are: 1) Would they have to start from the bottom or would the rules be changed again to suit agendas? 1b) Will the opposition supporters be invited to blackmail the clubs to vote against? 2) Would the PFA actively work against the club through the media to pry their players away? 3) Would there be a frenzied media witchhunt to see the club punished instead of the real culprits? 4) Would they be hit with an illegal transfer embargo? 5) Would they be frozen out without a vote while the goalposts are shifted under the guise of 'reconstruction' mid-season? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
