I’m talking about the plan for the SPL and the Scottish League to merge. Now correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Ess Pee Ell clubs dissolve their 108 year association with the other clubs by throwing them out in the street in 1998?
The wife beater throwing out the desperate vulnerable partner with a couple of battered suitcases. Of course there was the ensuing separation settlement where the Ess Pee Ell were forced to throw a few bundles of tenners wrapped in elastic bands towards the wronged party.
It was the only way forward apparently for the game to survive. Reward ambition/cut away the dead wood/de’il tak the hindmaist, blah de blah……
Here we are 13 years later and we’ve arrived at ‘the only way forward’ again.

Did you hear yon Neil Doncaster yesterday?
“Ultimately, this whole plan is about people putting aside vested interests and trying to achieve something for the common good.
“And I re-emphasise the point that the model being put on the table is the only model that looks after all 42 clubs.
“On some issues some people have strong issues and on other small issues some people have views against and ultimately it is about taking a package and not dealing with things piecemeal.”
