I dont believe his issue is with where we are its more about revitalising football and he thinks the 12-12-18 is not the way forward.
I make that 1 - 0 to the pistol
Duke, his main point yesterday was "no promotion/no relegation".
Didn't notice anything about revitalisation.
that was one of his points yes.
Either set up renders this season meaningless for teams in the third. The money that has been spent on players has been completely wasted. We could have stuck with the remainder of last years squad, brought in some amatuers and bided our time until the transfer ban was over. Instead, we're led to believe that winning the third will gain us promotion and provides an incentive. Why would we have spent the cash without that incentive.
I hope that Green somehow manages to wangle our way into another league where we can grow and proseper. However, I can never see that happening. Instead, we'll stagnate once we return to the top tier along with the rest of the 'top' clubs in Scotland.
CHARLES GREEN believes the Scottish football authorities have completely blown the opportunity to revitalise the game in this country with the convoluted 12-12-18 system which is set to kick in next season.

There is no guarantee that this proposal will go through. It's on the table, but still needs 10/12 SPL clubs and the vast majority of SFL clubs (75% I think) to vote in favour. It's very far from a done deal.
Avenger, it is a promotion of sorts.
You will be in the 3rd tier and not the 4th tier as you are this season.
I just wonder why he would reject out of hand 1 proposal over another.
Could it be he is just an angry man and he thinks he will destroy the SPL?
Let's not forget he said his team will never play in the SPL, but then said his team would be in European competitions in 3 years?
His mission then would seem to be getting rid of the SPL.
From what I've read 8 votes would be needed to knock back this proposal. Some of the SFL3 clubs (other than Rangers) seem to be unhappy about it, not sure how many. It appears the SFL clubs are being given some more money and maybe that will secure their votes. We'll see.

The SPL is going under these proposals. It's merging with the SFL to form a new, single league body.
Quebec - Of sorts, yes but the club that finish bottom of the league will gain the same 'reward.' Point is that this season will be completely meaningless. If they make the decision this month to go for this format then who will turn up to watch any games in the 3rd? Makes a mockery of the game.
The SPL is going.........
So Doncaster et al are just going to walk away?
Don't think so.
The same mob will be running Scottish football.
Wait and see.

==================================
I think the main gripe here was that it is being implemented for next season, so moving the goal posts mid season.
One of the main issues I see is that we are not allowed a voice at the table. Fair enough, the rules state that we dont have a vote because of our SFL membership status, but like it or not, we are one of the 2 real main powers in scotland, not making an exception in a case which will impact the national game seems a bit petty.
They should give every team a voice in these discussions.
The Scottish 3rd division IS meaningless ffs!
As is the Scottish 2nd division, when was the last time pre The Rangers debacle that a 2nd or 3rd division team caused a SHOCK in one of the cups, I mean a proper Bradford type shock?
Mickey mouse clubs should shush whilst the big boys are talking reconstruction.
ICT had a decent result when in the 3rd I remember
Do Aberdeen not get put out the cup by a wee team every year?
ICT had a decent result when in the 3rd I remember

Who against?
Inverness were in Division 1 when they beat us under Barnes.
I dont get this rangers wouldn't hqve signed players nonsense. Of course you would, you lost more than halfof your first team. These players needed replaced. These players you have signed are there to get you up the leagues nothing has changed.
They should give every team a voice in these discussions.
Wasn't that way when your team was in the SPL
Cali, Ssssshht

Doubt that could happen with hockey. Especially the folks in Canada. I mean most places in the US it seems like they're always boycotting anyway
