The latest Sevco straw clutching exercise involves the co-efficient table published by UEFA.
With the details supplied by the SFA there was never any doubt that the points won by the old club prior to 2012 would be included.
At every stage of play the double standards have been applied, debts belonging to the club placed in liquidation on 2012 are all forgotten about while the trophies and ‘glory’ from those ill-gotten gains are fair play to the tribute act as they desperately attempt to stay afloat.
While the gullible and deluded celebrate a victory as meaningful as that won by the Advertising Standards Agency a few years back they can maybe consider a few uncomfortable truths about the club and the crazy months of the summer of 2012.
Why did the same club start the 2012/13 season in the bottom tier of the Scottish Football League?
Why did the same club not compete in the 2012/13 Champions League qualifiers, with Motherwell representing Scotland?
Why did the same club compete in the first round of the Scottish Cup alongside Forres Mechanics and start off in the first round of the League Cup against Est Fife?
And what transfer fees did the club that finished the 2011/12 season collect from the departures of Steven Naismith, Allan McGregor, Steven Whittaker and Kyle Lafferty.
As they cheer themselves up with another Hampden inspired message published by UEFA the shick of repaying Close Brothers and discovering the size of this summer’s transfer war-chest will be all the more painful.
