The frothing Hunnery are no happy with the Fun and their ludicrous proposal.

what they saying? any links TD?

[tHeArAb]

The Huns proposal of giving out prize money without confirming the leagues, has been thrown out the window, regarded as 'incompetent' by the SPFL board.

"RANGERS have received confirmation from the SPFL board, that the SPFL’s legal adviser did not deem our Members Resolution as competent.

We prepared this update in advance of the scheduled SPFL board meeting this morning, in the full anticipation that the SPFL board would rule our proposed resolution was not competent.

As a member club, we sought assistance from the SPFL Executive on several occasions yesterday, to ensure our resolution was deemed competent. For the avoidance of doubt, no advice was forthcoming prior to the meeting starting.

Now that the SPFL have belatedly identified the reason why our members resolution was not competent, we will immediately resubmit our resolution, based upon their advice. If this advice had been forthcoming earlier, we would not have lost valuable time in this process. We are confused as to why attempts have been made to slow the progress of Rangers’ resolution.

Over the last 36 hours, we have received numerous reports from fellow Scottish clubs relating to attempts to coerce and bully them into voting for the SPFL’s own resolution. We are proud that many fellow clubs will stand strong and not be swayed.

Our resolution was simply intended to urgently address the financial hardship faced by clubs whilst allowing more time to discuss and evaluate all options for completing this season, in line with UEFA advice. This is in the interest of every football club in Scotland and the wider Scottish game.

We trust that when we resubmit our resolution, no impediments will be placed in the way of clubs voting on this matter in a swift manner."

Very nervous about this now.

The fun are making a mockery of themselves. It’s low even by their shambolic standards

We are voting No because we want promotion.

Our proposal is for no promotion

What!?!!!!!!

ICT can get promoted by securing 2nd and league reconstruct - makes sense they might hold out to see what promises they can get from spfl for their vote

The play offs gave ICT a 1 in 4 chance - a semi and final- if they got second which was not guaranteed. The chances of league reconstruction are probably greater than 25% are hearts will obviously be backing that - could only see Sevco opposing

It is all on ICT now.

Main thing is that new season wants to start on time and no other way we can finish season with virus risk to health and the strain on nhs of playing matches

"Stand up if you hate Dundee"

I used to say is it all right if I only pity them.

This might change my opinion.

[Jim_Jam]

SPFL shirking responsibility too of course. Why such a convoluted voting criteria.

[tHeArAb]

Sky Sports reporting the resolution is set to fail.

[LSArab]

The Dundee proposal is obviously unfair

How can you have the positions confirmed and not have promotion

What have united, the fun, ICT, raith , cove and everyone else been fighting for and spending their money on if not the goal of promotion.

Voiding the leagues - which dundee proposal effectively involves - is totally unfair

Sevco and dundee are horrible clubs - this shows how low they will go

Sad if ICT have sided with the dark side

John Bennett better get on the phone and get the Fun telt.

In the modern history of Dundee Football Club, John Bennett’s name should be high on the list of people who have stood up when they have been really needed.

As all Dark Blues fans know, John has already played the role of a financial white knight during the 2010-11 administration season, helping secure the CVA that allowed the club to fight on.

And before that he put forward the money to buy Dens Park in 2008. That allowed Dundee to clear their debts from the 2003 administration and boosted cash flow.

At the weekend John Nelms rightly paid tribute to John for his “very generous and selfless gesture” of suspending rent on the stadium that he will be owed during a time when no money is coming into the club. That won’t be peanuts.

I’ve only met John once, but the fact that he was first on the phone to the club when this crisis kicked in says everything about him.

Yes, he’s a Dundee United fan and former Dundee United director but first and foremost he’s a football man who has been a great friend to both of the city clubs.

John Nelms and Tim Keyes also deserve credit for taking out insurance that could prove to be *****.

There will be more problems ahead but with the likes of John Bennett in their corner, Dundee’s chances of coming through this troubling period are greatly enhanced.
