UCF2008 0 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 stewart milne on ssn says he wants to know st mirrens real agenda looked like he was gonna greet. funny how the 11-1 vote gilmour wanted changed was what stopped the recon from going through:laugh2: How did the 11-1 voting structure manage to stay in place? What happened to the rebel 10 we've been hearing so much about for years? Was that just more press bullsh!t like the unanimous vote they were going to get here until a couple of weeks ago? The whole lot of them are a joke. If Scottish football is ruined they've only got themselves to blame for bringing this nonsense to the table in the first place 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueflag 378 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hearts chief executive David Southern continued:"There's been compromise for the last seven months, even up to the very last minute today. There was quite a significant compromise made by Celtic to try to get this over the finishing line. "However, when it got down to whites of the eyes time, there were certain clubs who were not prepared to make that move." Desperate indeed ................ thought they didnt care?

Irony is lost on him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,429 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 SPL statement "At this morning's general meeting, all 12 Scottish Premier League clubs were present to consider proposals for restructuring of the Scottish professional game. The proposals would have delivered: * an expansion of play-offs, creating more opportunities for promotion and relegation between divisions * a single merged league with meaningful games at every level * a pyramid structure for the entire game * opportunities for materially increased revenues coming into the game * substantial redistribution of revenues to lower league clubs The proposals required 11 votes in favour to be approved. Ten votes in favour were received, with two against. The proposals were not therefore approved. During the meeting, and in an effort to break the deadlock, an amendment to the League's rules on voting was proposed. This major and progressive change would have allowed future league structure to be determined by a 9-3 vote, rather than the current 11-1 majority. "Prior to the meeting, a number of clubs had suggested that voting change would enable league structure change to be voted through. Unfortunately, this amendment was also defeated in principle on a show of hands, with the same two clubs voting against. "The SPL board wishes to express its sincere thanks to every member of the SPL's Restructure Working Group and to Harper Macleod for their hard work over many months. The chief executive and his team have worked tirelessly over the last three years to bring about positive change in the SPL. "The board would like to place on record its deep disappointment that proposals to benefit the entire game in Scotland have been blocked." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTP 0 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 SPL chairman Ralph Topping "An overwhelming majority of SPL clubs voted for these proposals to go through. The proposals foundered on the opposition of two clubs. The package involved concessions from all clubs and was for the betterment of Scottish football as a whole. "I would like to thank those who have supported these proposals, including those full-time professional clubs outside of the SPL who find themselves let down by today's vote. Scottish football needs to change. I had previously announced my intention to step down once a successor had been identified. "I have today advised the board that I will not be seeking re-election at the SPL's AGM this July." Please Doncaster next ................... pretty please ............ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I think Celtic are shitting themselves that we'll come back stronger and seem to be doing everything they can to try to hobble us. Hopefully we'll succeed but with nothnig to do with "Gandalf the Whyte"... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
