Look set to go out of business
Well, well, well! It looks as though the rattle snake that was always potentially lurking just around the corner for the SPL clubs is about to strike.
Come on…you know of which snake I speak. It’s the one that each and every SPL chairman was told “This could turn round and bite you on the arse”. But no. The clubs couldn’t help themselves. All they could see were the pound signs. “Pay TV is the way to go!” they all told us.
And now what?
I’ll TELL you what! NOW there is a huge opportunity for the Old Firm to show that they DO want to help Scottish Football survive. And how do they do that?
DITCH THE 5% TAX! AND DITCH IT NOW!!
Everybody knows that when those fan blades come into contact with the brown stuff that is currently being fired their way the two clubs that will be LEAST affected by the drop in revenue are Rangers and Celtic.
I’m not saying for one second that the “big two” won’t feel it…far from it. And to be honest they could be forgiven for being very angry chappies. After all they, along with Aberdeen, Â didn’t want the Setanta deal in the first place. But, although they will still lose out, they will lose a far smaller percentage of their income than any other club.
So will they stand, united once more, and say “We are scrapping the 5% charge” (at least for the forseeable future) in an attempt to lessen the blow felt by the rest of the SPL?
They might … but I’m not about to hold my breath!!!
