Eight SFL clubs can scupper Regan's Sevco plan
The chief executive of the SFA hasn’t said a word in public since Rangers went into liquidation but has been working behind the scenes to merge the SPL and SFL at breakneck speed.
In return for a package of reforms- which would see television money diverted from the SPL to the SFL- Regan is hoping that he can provide a place for newco in the First Division provided Charles Green can satisfy SFA membership criteria.
Raith Rovers and Falkirk have already voiced their concerns about a deal with all 30 SPL clubs likely to vote on the proposal. If the deal is to go through it will require 75% approval of the clubs meaning that eight no votes would leave Regan with just days to come up with plan C.
The rapid proposals will be discussed by the SFL clubs at Hampden on Tuesday July 4 with support for the reforms compromised by the wish to provide Green’s club with a place in the First Division.

Last night David Longmuir of the SFL admitted: “The SFL board met today to discuss a number of issues currently affecting our game.
“The three governing bodies will continue to work together over the coming days to deliver a way forward which will be in the best interests of our game. Key to that process will be a full consultation with clubs which will take place early next week.
“We didn’t rule anything in and we didn’t rule anything out. The most important aspect of the whole process is to consult with clubs.
“It will be a general club meeting where clubs have the first chance to see the issues we have been dealing with.
“They will debate them and discuss them fully with the board of the SFL and take appropriate action as required.”
