SPL Vote Defeated!!


Recommended Posts

Scottish Premier League clubs have failed to vote through a new 12-12-18 model for Scottish football.

 

An 11-1 club majority was required for the plan to progress to a vote of Scottish Football League clubs scheduled for Friday.

 

However, both St Mirren and Ross County voted against the proposal at Hampden on Monday.

 

It is likely that the current make-up of 12-10-10-10 will continue for the next campaign.

 

Immediately after the meeting, Aberdeen chairman Stewart Milne accused the two dissenting clubs of "ruining Scottish football".

 

St Mirren chairman Stewart Gilmour refused to comment.

 

It would seem Mr Milne is a little pissed off.

No-one to blame but themselves. When we left I thought the first thing they would do is change the 11-1 voting system and they didn't. All fans want is a bigger league with play-offs; it's not rocket science. What other country on the planet would ask fans to fill out umpteen different surveys about what they would like to see and then decide to do something completely different.

Ironically some of the clubs could have set it up to succeed by changing the voting System like they originally planned before coming under the spell of Lawwell.

 

Celtic have been stymied by their own steadfastness to the 11-1 system.

what a shame :)

 

I'm glad Ross County held firm, it was terrible pressure they had put on them by these other chairmen, SPL and SFA.

 

I don't understand the rush, it's better getting it right no matter how long it takes. There was some good points but the structure was a joke. The fans didn't want it yet they still wanted to go ahead with it.

 

Doncaster has resign now surely??

Hearts chief executive David Southern continued:

"There's been compromise for the last seven months, even up to the very last minute today. There was quite a significant compromise made by Celtic to try to get this over the finishing line.

"However, when it got down to whites of the eyes time, there were certain clubs who were not prepared to make that move."

 

Desperate indeed ................ thought they didnt care?
