I will re-post this here as it is more on topic here, than there.
The SPL wants a share of the money the SFL get for the Rangers TV deal.
You really couldn't make it up
It's always been about the money, more to the point, the money Rangers bring with them via sponsorship at TV deals.
They spent months trying to find ways to squeeze Rangers into the SPL so they could get the money, when that didnt work they tried for Div 1 knowing they would get the money next year...that didnt work either.
Now with Rangers in Div3 they face a prospect of 3 (or more) years with no money they have given up hiding behind any kind of façade and are now just outright saying, we want the money you bring and will use any trick in the book to take it, like it or not.
Where is the much talked about "sporting integrity" now?
Back in its box under the stairs where it had been for the previous 40 years, seems it only gets brought out for special occasions, and swiftly put away again when its job is done.
