SFA still hopes to salvage reconstruction proposals We are, however, currently working with SFL clubs in all divisions with a view to agreeing an alternative way forward which builds on the five core principles. We would like to confirm our continued commitment to those principles. We are also very keen to share our proposals with the SPL and the SFA as soon as [is] practical. We therefore respectfully wish to ask the SFA to work with us at this time, whilst we progress our proposals. The bigger clubs will, however, meet with SFA president Campbell Ogilvie and chief executive Stewart Regan. The SPL board responded to their offer yesterday, asking for a meeting which will take place in the next two weeks. However, SPL sources on Thursday night admitted that the timescale of the talks will prevent any alteration to the status quo in time for 2013-14. Even in the unlikely event of an earth-shattering deal being brought to the party by Ogilvie and Regan, the SPL board would then need to inform their members and, under their constitution, 21 days" notice would be required in order to call a special general meeting unless all 12 clubs agreed to waive that rule. As has been made all too evident this week, the prospects of unanimity being reached on anything are slim. With the next SPL campaign due to kick off on Aug 3, time is the enemy for the agents of change. It was also revealed that there had been no mention of SPL2 at Monday's lengthy - and tetchy - meeting of all 12 clubs at the national stadium, although the top tier's administrators would be prepared to meet with the disaffected First Division members if requested to do so.
