And worse case scenario the SG give Scottish football a red card we are out of sight. So promotion 👍 pretty sure that’s how it works or thereabouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton chairman wrote to sturgeon about and mentioned Celtic as the other half of the old firm.

Appears Celtic now playing the "we're not the same club" card now as well, in being part of the double act.

They're sold this rivalry and absolutely bite time and time again. It's got to be one of the largest-scale ongoing brainwashes of all time! The OF are so aligned on a corporate level on all things business. You telling me they don't have pretty constant chat about what best suits their joint needs? Hey, hunny-bunnies, you fancy colt teams? Yeah, Timmykins, let's also push for higher prize money. Ooh, nice idea, we could also ask to do away with development fees.

chrystaf Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Dave King in today's Scotsman calls for revamp of our football authorities. He openly accuses Lawwell of having too much influence - we all know that - bit concedes that in their time Rangers also had too much. How one changes that is a problem. Do we want the chairman/owner of some shitty little diddy team influencing major decisions? But of course that is already happening.

The whole system needs kicking out, but vested interests will always prevail. I think that one minor but helpful change would be for the representatives of each division on the SPFL board to be appointed by rotation not election. Election sounds more democratic but the reality is that the system is to open to manipulation if one large club is determined and powerful enough. A bigger issue is the relation between the SFA and the SPFL. At the moment we have the SPFL acting as an avowedly members’ organisation but also exerting power and influence over the SFA, which is supposed to be the governing body. To my mind, the SFA should be the senior body, funded by a levy on its member bodies, and committed to the best interests of all of Scottish football.

The talk of an "apocalypse" hitting Scottish football if Rangers went down the leagues or out of business completely was not because people were worried about the end of Rangers but because they were worried about the end of the Old Firm, which is all the TV companies are interested in.

And it really isn't. Or doesn't have to be, more like. Lots of countries who don't have a massive rivalry like that have better TV deals than we do. Not seen it for a while but the list of TV deals better than ours is always eye watering.
