kni Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) This is worth a read. http://www.clydefc.c...statement3.html Clyde View on SFL Meeting Fri, 13th Jul 2012 10:19pm The club chairman attended a very sobering meeting of the SFL today where the 30 clubs voted on resolutions in the manner that they felt were, on balance, for the good of the game. Nobody had arrived at decisions easily and all had been placed in intolerable positions of having to decide without the basic information that would reflect good governance and having to speculate about unresolved matters around sanctions and membership of the SFA that other bodies had so far failed to deal with. The outcome was never going to be a good one, but it was one of significant unity amongst the clubs. Even where clubs voted differently, it was not a divisive difference of views, everyone understood the complex mix of circumstances facing each club would never deliver unanimity of voting. We reported this morning prior to the vote of all clubs that “Sevco Scotland Ltd will not be playing in the Third Division in the coming season." Nothing heard today altered that opinion, in fact, it strengthened it. For the good of the game we need to see the SFA accept the will of its members, who all voted today, as members of the SFL, in the clear knowledge that the SFA had it in its power to refuse to transfer SFA membership to Sevco Scotland Ltd should the vote support the entry of Sevco Scotland Ltd into SFL3. We were asked to respect the confidentiality of those presenting today as only that agreement would allow them to be as candid as they were. We cannot therefore share what was said, however Mr Green left the SFL member clubs in no doubt about what he had been told by the SFA. The SFL saw a level of unity and unselfishness that owes significant credit to the First Division clubs who stated their intention to seek a 42 club solution and not to take part in a divisive alternative. This kind of unity, if maintained, will help deliver the change that the game so badly needs and the First Division clubs in particular will merit. If the SFA now act to support any process to undermine the clear views of the SFL members, who are also members of the SFA, then this club will join others in questioning those in leadership. Sadly for our game, this saga is not over, teams cannot plan and that includes Rangers, who may yet be denied the opportunity to play football in SFL3 because it suits the interests of others.

Lenziejag Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 This is obviously the reason that their is no categorical no in the Thistle statement. He is upholding a promise of confidentiality made to the other SFL clubs. He is acting with integrity ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 The reason there is no Thistle statement is because they are shyting it at the reaction. We've been as vocal as any of the 30 SFL clubs. It hasn't stopped the vast majority of the other clubs categorically stating at one point or another how they will vote. Including two yes votes.

He is upholding a promise of confidentiality made to the other SFL clubs. He is acting with integrity ? Like I said on other thread there. Green tells SFL chairman BEFORE vote his big mate Stewart has told him there's no way Sevco Rovers will play in SFL3 next year even if that's where they decide to put them. What does our Dave think? SPL2? Keep them onside, vote 'yes'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your agenda? Does he have to have one ? He just thinks differently from others. Not every supporter thinks the club has voted YES. He has dared to state what he believes. Nothing more, nothing less. I might not agree, but he does not deserve to be picked upon. Any way, thought you'd be too busy wondering what Sid wore at the closed door game today, than be bothering about who voted YES or NO in such a trivial thing as the future of the scottish game!

You clearly don't have experience of, or even understand, sport marketing contracts. But intelligent thinking is the last thing I would expect from a wee greeting clipe like you.

Lenziejag Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I don't have an agenda but it appears plenty people do. Irrespective that newspaper stories have been shown to be wrong, some people are still using it to insist that Thistle voted yes. rather than speculate.
