I just don't understand where this optimisim comes from really, at the moment, with no squad to speak of, they might finish bottom of the league, rather than go up, as many people think!
It isn't a given, but with their support through the turnstyles they will still be the richest club in each of the lower divisions, and money talks.
In the English pyramid when teams have folded or a team from the division below has been refused promotion for not having a ground up to standard etc, it's generally the relegated team that gets a reprieve.
Are you sure? I cannot remember the circumstances, but IIRC, I recall Ron Atkinson (as their then manager) calling for Sheffield Wednesday to be put back up into the top flight having been relegated, because a spare place became available - but it wasn't accepted.
And why shouldn't it have been a foregone conclusion? The SPL rules are, for once, quite clear - the club finishing 12th cannot compete in the league in the following season if the "candidate club" from the SFL meet the membership criteria.

this was what jim duffy was referring to, i knew it was just a matter of time before the media picked up on it
So in other words, Jim Duffy doesn't really know anything -- the article doesn't refer to Dunfermline getting in over Dundee, nor does it mention financial problems.
Think I''ll file it beside Richard Gough's "Celtic will never do 9IAR"
You need help if you're collecting newspaper clippings about you're greatest rivals. The obsession cellik fans have with their Great rivals is seriously unhealthy :eek:
As a result of the current financial situation at Celtic, the club will not be replacing Dominic Cervi unless the club reaches the group stage of the CL.

Cue crisis.
Stuttgart Kickers rather than VFB Stuttgart
Hence the crisis
Anyway, seems you've got 4 wonderful years ahead of you:
