Stranraer chief vows to ‘right wrongs’ of SPFL vote
STRANRAER chairman Iain Dougan has vowed that his club will continue their fight against the SPFL to achieve the ‘righting of wrongs’
The Stair Park outfit joined forces with Rangers and Hearts to force clubs to vote on whether an independent investigation should be launched into the governing body following last month’s controversial ballot to end the season.
The proposed probe did not gather enough support from clubs at Tuesday’s EGM – but Dougan insists he is not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
He said: “We have consistently stated that the original resolution was fundamentally flawed, therefore we wanted to allow for a comprehensive investigation to source true learning outcomes from the process to date.
“Ultimately, we failed to get sufficient numbers to carry the day. However, 13 clubs from all levels of our game did vote to what they considered to be cause for concern, with a desire to highlight failings of a proper process at board level.
“There have been various persons suggesting that a line is now drawn on this matter, and we now move on for the greater good of the game.
“I make no apologies for the fact that it is not in my nature to concede all too easily, or indeed remain silent, nor accept any decision that I feel is unjust towards our football club – a club that I am extremely proud to serve as chairman.
“As such, I intend to explore all avenues in order to properly redress with fellow like-minded clubs to achieve what I believe is the righting of wrongs on so many fronts.”
