54andcounting 0 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Just seen on the news today's meeting at Hampden to seal the spl/sfl merger has not been as straight forward as first thought. It was expected the gathering would be over with an announcement by lunchtime with the formalities completed, but now it could go on into the evening. Well done Mr McClelland of Annan Athletic for this...... http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/spfl-bombshell-annan-chief-launches-2001954 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The greed of the short term buck in the pocket and not worrying about the long term potential problems will ensure that it goes through. Hope I'm wrong though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1872 4 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Grant Russell@STVGrant8mSFL clubs met at 10.30am, now gone for lunch and will meet again at 4pm. Is the "42 club solution" set to collapse? http://bit.ly/10n9oik 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggy dewhurst 0 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 do the sfl clubs have the facts about harry hoods claim against the spl if he wins his claim plus his legal fees that will cost the clubs a pretty penny to pay out for something they had nothing to do with 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1872 4 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Grant Russell@STVGrant1mAnnan chairman Henry McLelland: "Some of the liabilities being put on the SFL have been taken off the table" The final straw for us was we were going to be severely financially penalised. We still are to an extent. HM: Case now we have to move forward. There are many aspects in this that are for the good of the game. Let's get this in place. HM: This should be about football, not people in suits. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1872 4 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Grant Russell@STVGrant1mHM: If it means we are here until 11am tomorrow, than so be it. The important thing is getting it right. A significant number of due diligence and legal obstacles have been removed by SPL opening books to SFL board. HM: I don't know if we will run out of time but intent is to have inaugural SPFL board meeting tonight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 do the sfl clubs have the facts about harry hoods claim against the spl if he wins his claim plus his legal fees that will cost the clubs a pretty penny to pay out for something they had nothing to do with They are very aware foggy... “A number of points need to be clarified, such as the amount of money that could go out of the pot if legal cases against the SPL result in financial loss.” Former Celt Harry Hood has a £1.7million compensation claim outstanding against the SPL. And the Annan chief says SFL clubs are still unclear of what’s happening with a £500,000 claim for legal costs Rangers were pursuing after they were investigated over the Big Tax Case. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Cheers Mr. McLelland, most sensible man in Scottish Football. I think they should vote him in as CEO of the new set-up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
