GovanAllan 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It would appear Abergreen voted with Septic to block the voting restructure. Words fail me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,721 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 SPL clubs have delayed moves to introduce a new top-flight voting structure after Aberdeen joined forces with Celtic in blocking the path to change. A motion was put forward at yesterday's SPL board meeting to ditch the current 11-1 majority needed for major decisions with some clubs keen to see a new 9-3 voting system introduced on all issues. But hopes that the changes could be in place by next month hit the buffers at yesterday's meeting inside Hampden and Record Sport understands that Aberdeen opposed the move. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuznetsov 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Don't be so easily fooled. Their attendances are in freefall at home. Against Dundee recently the ground was half empty.Remember not so long liewell wanted us in SPL as newco with points deductions for 3 seasons effectively handing them the titles. Why was that ? Our absence is hitting them too, especially when reduced revenues affect their massive wage bill. Their CL money this season will only keep them ticking over. Without in seasons ahead they'll face financial KO's like the others i dont see them having fire sales. they seem to be doing just fine without us. why wont they get it the next few years? they are guaranteed the spl title every year and always seem to get easy draws in any qualifiers. they have their sh*t together in europe now sadly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A motion was put forward at yesterday’s SPL board meeting to ditch the current 11-1 majority needed for major decisions with some clubs keen to see a new 9-3 voting system introduced on all issues. But hopes that the changes could be in place by next month hit the buffers at yesterday’s meeting inside Hampden and Record Sport understands that Aberdeen opposed the move. SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “On voting reform, it was agreed that the members’ resolution would be deferred and considered again on November 19. “There’s a perception the voting regime is 11-1 but very few matters are 11-1. The vast majority are 8-4, some are 10-2 and a few are 11-1. “The motion put forward would make everything 9-3 but there will be further debate. It requires an 11-1 vote to get that through.” And on the issue of possible league reconstruction, Doncaster added: “There remains a real appetite for reconstruction of the leagues and talks are ongoing.” And he also reiterated the SPL is coping well after the demise of Rangers. He said: “Crowds have held up well and commercial income is holding up well.” 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,654 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 i dont see them having fire sales. they seem to be doing just fine without us. why wont they get it the next few years? they are guaranteed the spl title every year and always seem to get easy draws in any qualifiers. they have their sh*t together in europe now sadly. without us they'll struggle to keep their current players to play in a meaningless SPL & struggle to attract decent new players. Qualifying for CL will therefore be harder as a result. If he was honest ( which he isn't) Liewell would admit he wanted us kept in SPL but with points deductions for each season over 2 or 3 years. It was only when a few of the hooped horrors from their supporters associations got in on the act he changed tune. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
