Stenhousemuir chairman Iain McMenemy has called upon Premiership clubs not to discuss the subject of the Independent Governance Review at a meeting with the SPFL on Monday as all 42 shareholders will not be present, and Herald Sport understands that they will instead insist the matter is discussed with all member clubs at a meeting later this month.

Six Premiership clubs - Aberdeen, Livingston, Motherwell, Rangers, St Johnstone and St Mirren - put their names to a letter last week raising concerns about the way the SPFL executive have handled the findings of the Independent Governance Review, which was carried out as part of the settlement from the so-called ‘cinch dispute’ between the SPFL and Rangers.

The league body responded by citing ‘factual inaccuracies’ in the letter of complaint, which Herald Sport understands are disputed by the six complainants.

A letter issued to those clubs in response which aimed to address their concerns has failed to quell their disgruntlement, leading to a further statement issued on behalf of the six clubs on Wednesday, which invited all 42 members as well as SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan and chief executive Neil Doncaster to a meeting to discuss the matter on February 27th.

The SPFL indicated yesterday that they would instead look to address concerns over their handling of the review at a scheduled meeting with Premiership clubs on Monday, but Herald Sport understands that the top-flight clubs share McMenemy’s view that all 42 senior clubs should be present.

“I would call on the Premiership clubs on Monday when that item comes up on the agenda to say that this is not the forum to discuss it,” McMenemy said.

“It should be spoken about at a meeting of all the 42 clubs, and they should not enter into discussions about it.

“If they want to go down a different road that is obviously completely up to them, but my hope would be that they would see it this way as well.

“They have stated it should be all 42 clubs, so I hope they wouldn’t entertain any discussions or reports being made without all 42 shareholders being there when it gets done on the 27th.

“There is no separation and no distinction between shareholders in the SPFL. We are all equal, the 42 shareholders, which are the 42 clubs.

“This is an issue that isn’t solely affecting the Premiership, it is affecting the whole SPFL, so I think that any discussions on this should be conducted with all 42 shareholders present.

“I think that is something I can see from the statement from the six Premiership clubs that they want as well.

“If any shareholders in any company request a shareholder meeting, I think that should be honoured first and foremost.”
