What Next For Larry, Curly & Mo?
ByScottish Football’s Three Stooges Must Face The Sack…
It’s funny how the whole constitution of the Scottish Football game can be put together in less time than it takes to investigate whether dual contracts were used at the dead club over Govan way. Even though they have enough evidence!
Or am I just being paranoid?
Either way, those at the helm of the Scottish game, Mssrs Doncaster, Regan and Longmuir have made a real hash of trying their level best to save a club that no longer exists.
It looks like they’ve been trying to cover every conceivable angle to preserve the New Establishments club chance to prosper, debt free while very other club in Scotland suffers. A cunning plan.
What they didn’t take into account though was the feeling among the support of the rest of the clubs involved, SPL or SFL.
By rushing through a document that was nothing short of a ‘bribe’, they banked on causing panic and fear amongst the smaller clubs while trying to paint a picture of ‘the right thing’ for Scottish Football. (where they get £!6M from, God knows?)
How wrong could they be?
As big Jock famously said, ‘Football without fans is nothing’. How prophetic has that quote proved to be.
The fans are letting their respective clubs know exactly how they feel about the Three Stooges trying to parachute the Newco club into the First Division of Scottish Football with their shiny new master plan.
Already Raith Rovers, Falkirk, Dunfermline, Hamilton, Morton and Clyde have stated their case against the radical new changes, designed specifically to benefit one club.
I’m sure in the coming days more will follow suit, therefore sinking the ship before it sails.
Hopefully, when that happens, Mssrs Doncaster, Regan and Longmuir will do the ‘honourable’ thing and resign.
Did I say ‘honourable’?
Well if the President of the SFA is a measure of ‘honourable’ in the corridors of Hampden, it looks like all three will be in office for a long time……
Regan – Doncaster- Longmuir

Maybe the fans of the club formerly known as Rangers have a point. Maybe everyone is out to get them. The other day, while out driving, I popped into a Burger King for a toilet break and a coffee. While I was at the counter I noticed a poster advertising their new desserts, Jelly and Ice Cream.
Wow it seems that even B.K. are celebrating the demise of the ‘gers.
Honourable! That was funny. I don’t recommend anyone uses that word in relation to the infamous three, they’ll be scooped up by the men in the white coats.
Quick comment about the poll, When ‘they’ went into administration their fans were talking about cancelling their subscriptions too. That would be pointless & the only loser would be the person cancelling it. Lose the Champions League & English PL for the sake of one game a week? Do we think sky/espn are that bothered about losing some subscribers? Any doubt just look at espn classic, almost all the football is English.
I usually agree with most of what you say, but, in this case, I just can’t: The three Stoogies are paragons of intellectual rigor and moral fortitude compared with Regan, Doncaster, and the other one.
There is a new ingredient in the mix now. It is not just the voice of supporters being heard and listened to by club chairs, it is those chairs themselves vociferously reacting in a very personal way, especially those of the S.F.L. clubs. I do not think that some of the statements and interviews of the last couple of days were instigated purely by fan pressure. I firmly believe that these chairmen and mangers who have spoken out have done so because they themselves are disgusted by the sheer hypocrisy and blatant manipulation that has slithered from the supposedly responsible men in charge of the protection and governance of football. I think they have had it. The powers that be have overstepped the mark, unaware, because of the dominance and secrecy they have deviously accrued, of the backlash that would ensue from their very own. Hell mend them. I sincerely hope there is a guillotine at the ready when equilibrium is restored.

I think we would all agree that from the very beginning the people running the game in Scotland would do everything to allow that mob in as near to the SPL as possible.
I was amazed how quick these talks were arranged and discussed when everything else to be sorted was given the “let’s deal with that later routine” which is usual practice for this lot.
Point taken! Sorry for the blasphemy towards Larry, Curly & Mo!
If they are the 3 Stooges, what is ex director of Ra Pies FC Campbell Ogilvie?
Davy, the secret meetings were put together as fast as they could.
For Ogilvie..probably Billy Liar!
It is now time for a complete overhaul of our game in Scotland and getting rid of these clowns would be a start. Time for all clubs to be treated equally and stop trying to accommodate those who cheat. So SFA & SPL listen to those that matter the FANS and sort it stop trying to screw the honest clubs so a club with no history no money no accounts for 3 years (your rules) no respect soon to be no players and no chance of them walking over other clubs just because they have friends in Hampden.
You better believe that sky/espn care about losing Scottish subscribers en masse. Per capita we spend way more than England – why do we spend all that money just to prop up their pr-driven game?
If the parachute Rangers into the First Devision then any other club in from the SPL who goes into liquidation in future will also be entitled to the same course of action. That’s the danger of seting these precedents.
Will all the other clubs in the First Division be happy with the prospect of All the clubs being given this “Guarantee” and thus being placed debt free into the division when they may well have some debt which they are paying interest on and due to that be at a clear disadvantage when it comes to being able to afford players and get back into the SPL where the prize money would be a lot more.
You can’t undo a precedent.
Pat, they seem to be jumping through hoops to make a case for the parachute to happen. In doing so, they expect everything that has gone before to be forgotten! Can’t remember any league reconstruction in 1994, can you?
Latest news! Montrose in financial crisis! Liquidation looms! Fans celebrate looking forward to playing in the 1st division next season! Absurd!
I hear, over and over and over again, the word RESIGN.
From bankers (ryming word for what they really are, i.e. *ankers)
If I ‘cocked-up’ big time, resignation was not on the menu, but SACK most definitely was.
