calscot 0 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Best thing I've read yet is: In an effort to force through the change, they tabled to change the vote structure from 11-1 to 9-3 which would make Ross County & St. Mirren unable to stop the change. To do this, they used the 11-1 structure to vote, which was defeated, most likely by Ross County & St. Mirren Seriously. These guys run our game. HAHAHAHA That's funny. Even funnier that those two actually wanted the 9-3 vote but perhaps they are starting to recognise the Celtic cabal... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,172 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Clearly the main issue here is sponsorship and specifically that of a TV deal. It appears that without RFC and in the absence of decent viewing figures, the oft-talked about (but never revealed) 5 year SKY TV deal will end as it was actually for only for one year with a variety of clauses. Ergo, unless the SPL can deliver RFC's involvement (humble pie anyone?) they will have to accept a vastly reduced TV deal (probably from BT) which means already struggling clubs (e.g. Killie, Dundee Utd, Motherwell and Aberdeen) will have to cut costs substantially making them even less than competitive. Is it any wonder the more fiscally secure clubs didn't want to subsidise these chancers? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Would it have taken us longer to reach the top table? No but they may have been hoping we got stuck an extra season by failing in the middle 8 play off 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,172 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Rangers would not have been involved in the TV deal even if it had gone through. What am I not getting here? I think they would have. Stanraer precendent would have seen us in middle league - meaning matches against Rangers for some SPL teams and a retained interest for Sky. Make no mistake, this is all about RFC and Sky. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
