The rebel SPL 10 have finally handed in there resignation and will no longer be part of the SPL in 2 seasons time. This comes after arguements about TV Deal, TV Money and a Problem with the old firm not wanting to change the voting strategy to a new fairer strategy.
This will come as a shock the Old Firm who merely thought that the rest of the SPL clubs were trying to call there bluff by saying they would resign but now they have actually resigned the Old Firm will see they cant always get there own way.
The letters of resignation were handed in this afternoon.
The SPL confirmed that they had received the resignation of 10 clubs.
The clubs first threatened to resign after an argument over the TV deal but that got finalized yesterday but the clubs failed to arrange a deal which saw a strange in the voting strategy so they have handed in the resignation.
The clubs had until Friday Midnight to hand in there resignation though they have done it earlier than they needed.
The clubs could still stay in the league and talks will continue with the Old Firm to try and change the voting strategy.
Dunfermline Chairman John Yorkston mentioned that the Old Firm would not get away with this in England and you don't see clubs such as Manchester United acting in this manner cause they are the top team in England.
