CammyF 6,761 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Just seen a document on Twitter (don't know how to link / copy to here) stating that if you didn't agree with the proposal you did not need to submit your vote. Hence abstain = No. So even if Dundees vote was not received or placed then it's automatically a no. Document also states once you've voted for the proposal you can not change your mind - your locked in. However, if you vote No then you had 28 days to change your mind (or may be have it changed for you??) !!!!!!

der Berliner 3,219 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) If we had a decent journalist out there ... as well as CEOs of all clubs concerned, you would demand answers to important yet utterly simple questions: - Who came up with the first SPFL proposal? - Who decided that Friday 17 o'clock was the deadline? - Who spilled the voting numbers before all votes were in? - Who decided that any "non-voters" actually get 28 days? - Who decided that non-voters get time, but Yes- or No-voters not? And not some assumptions or conjecture, but the people behind those plans and "rulings". Simple question very much in the interest of any club concerned. As well as a rule by rule explanation why the above could be and had to be done as it was. Edited April 12, 2020 by der Berliner 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,219 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Via FF's Mark Dingwall Quote Rangers have received many media enquiries regarding how our own resolution is progressing.A spokesman for Rangers advised that Rangers Company secretary, James Blair, has had several email exchanges with the SPFL legal adviser, Rod McKenzie.Remarkably, we have learned from an email received from Mr McKenzie that our proposed resolution is deemed unnecessary because the SPFL board already has the authority to provide loans to member clubs which can be exercised by the SPFL at any time.The Inverness CEO, Scot Gardiner, confirmed on national radio yesterday that SPFL representatives made it clear on several conference calls that it was necessary to approve the SPFL resolution in order to release funds which would relieve the financial hardship being experienced by many clubs.Member clubs will be shocked to learn this is not the case and any club facing short term financial difficulties should request a loan from the SPFL immediately.Our resolution was never intended to release end of season fee payments but instead to provide loans as an advance on such payments. It is now apparent that this is already within the power of the SPFL.This provides further evidence that an independent investigation is urgently required. https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/sunday-afternoon-statement-from-rangers-clarifies-the-position-over-end-of-season-payments-loans.116729/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
