Shanks Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 She should not have allowed herself to get into the position of spokeswoman on this subject. Someone who was on the board when this all happened should have had the balls to step forward. Doncaster himself for example. Ann, sorry love, but the big boys have played you here and out manoeuvred you. Apart from which you're now part of the problem and complicit in everything that organisation does both in the past and the future. Correct. Its really disappointing but I can't say I'm surprised.

John Findlay Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The thing is that five years on there is still nothing in the rules of the SPFL that specifically deals with liquidated clubs, other than the general insolvency events provisions. There remains no mechanism for clubs to do a Sevco shuffle, other than "Board discretion" If I am reading this correctly. Alloa Athletic do a Rangers 1873. Then the SPFL board can say tough you are now in the North Lanarkshire district league and it's you own fault. Tough shit. Sevco do the same as Rangers 1873. It will be how can we help you?

Niemi Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It's quite extraordinary how little comment there has been in the papers (apart from the ridiculous Q&A in the DR), considering the size of the story here. I really believe it's all about fear of retribution, and intimidation, coupled with a little bit freemasonry. Doncaster and Regan may not want to be in this position but are too scared to do anything. Wasn't there a rumour that one of them (I'm guessing Regan) had applied for a job in English cricket recently and had been kb'd ? I think the lack of comment in the media is probably reflective of the size of the story... ie not actually big. Tax avoidance schemes are rife throughout the business world, including football. So a scheme was found not to work, big deal. I'm afraid it's only Scottish football fans who are making a big deal of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar the Horrible Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 DJ: As I have said, we all need to move on. That won?t be easy for some Rangers fans either but they will always focus on their club first and foremost. It is impossible for us to move on because your club cheated on a scale never before seen in any sport at any level, and it was swept under the carpet! Rangers have done more for the lower leagues of Scottish football than any other club has in the history of our game as the supporters have travelled up and down the country in their thousands. The clubs have benefitted, the towns have benefitted, the local businesses have benefitted and they have helped every team from League Two to the Championship.

Footballfirst Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) the Lord Nimmo Smith commission was held and Rangers were fined ?250,000. Still unpaid though???? did it ever??? anybody? It was paid at the end of the 2015/16 season when ?286k of the prize money for winning the championship was withheld by the SPFL. The following information is from Rangers 2016 Accounts. 4. NON-RECURRING ITEMSIn 2012, the SPL raised proceedings against The Rangers Football Club plc (Oldco) in relation to the use of EBTs and following a hearing in February 2013 a fine of ?250,000 and costs of ?150,000 were levied against Oldco. As part of the agreement to allow Rangers to participate in Scottish Football, there was a clause inserted where it was agreed that Rangers would become liable and responsible for the imposition of any sanctions by the SPL for any breach of SPL Rules and or articles by Oldco/Rangers FC (i.e. the ?250,000 fine). The Club believed that the SPFL had, through documents and actions, waived all and any right it may have had to insist upon payment under the clause, thereby holding the Club harmless in relation to the sanctions. This was disputed by the SPFL. Within the current SPFL rules there is a provision (known as the offset rule) whereby if any amounts are due to the SPFL, the Board of the SPFL are entitled to withhold amounts due to the Club up to the value of the amount outstanding. The Board of the SPFL determined that it would impose the offset rule to recover the ?250,000 fine from the Club. As a result of this decision, the Club invoked Article 99 of the SFA Articles seeking a determination by an Arbitral Tribunal appointed by the SFA that the sum was not due to the SPFL. The tribunal was held in October 2015 and found in favour of the SPFL and as such the Club was liable to pay the fine plus associated costs. The Club duly paid the SPFL and the total paid during the year amounted to ?286,000 and has been disclosed as a non-recurring cost in the financial statements.

Groatallar Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 This was never going to result in titles being stripped. For me you have to seperate the tax evasion from the registration rules. The tax issue was a complicated matter and at that time it was legal. The registration issue is the one that matters (football wise) and either a blind eye was turned at the time of these contracts or there was a massive flaw in in checking procedures of registration documents that spanned a number of years. I suspect the latter. To punish Rangers 2 for this raises a lot of awkward questions as to why this was not spotted at the time and Rangers could well argue that they felt all was in order as they had never been challenged regarding this. Of course one could also say that they willfully withheld the necessary information. To find Rangers guilty of cheating would in my opinion result in huge embarrassment to our football authorities due to incompetence at that time and therefore a sweep it under the carpet was always going to happen.

Some are beginning to realise this but still cannot fully face that fact. The question as to whether that is right or wrong is a moot point. The future should take into account the lessons to be learned from past experiences so I look forward to a new rule book regarding this topic but it will not change what has happened in the past few years and the waste of time and energy to try and do so just shows you how some can be so caught up in events they forget to take a step back and think.

I would urge you to have a look at your payslip and the sections PAYE, Employee NI and Employer NI ( which is just money your employer can't pay you) and think what you could do with this money. Altogether this amount would almost double your payslip and then realise that this is the reason that Rangers could afford to buy the players that they did.

They then try to tar you with being a fan of the club that they think you are defending despite the fact all you are doing is not being caught up in the rush to condemn everything brought up by those mystery bloggers who produce so much fake news, You understand after a while that daring to point out the imaginations of some are not the realities of the case will bring down their wrath upon you I am of the firm belief that we are wasting time and energy about a subject on which a sentence has been rightly passed. Some are beginning to realise this but still cannot fully face that fact. The question as to whether that is right or wrong is a moot point. The future should take into account the lessons to be learned from past experiences so I look forward to a new rule book regarding this topic but it will not change what has happened in the past few years and the waste of time and energy to try and do so just shows you how some can be so caught up in events they forget to take a step back and think. If we could start again then who knows what decisions would have been reached re title stripping etc but that time has passed and no amount of shouting and stamping your feet will change that. Still it's all about opinion.............................unless you dare to question. The best thing to come out of the whole thing is, Rangers, or whatever you want to call them, are miles behind Celtic, and will never win anything for literally decades. #10inarow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky_26 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 They had tens of players improperly registered over a decade. That's all you need to know. I don't need independent thought. I can get this information anywhere. It's unambiguous and unchallenged. Your only real input is to tell us, I think, the football authorities are unfit for purpose dressed up as some curious attack on football fans simply looking for each competing team to be treated the same. exactly, how many teams have been kicked out of the cups due to minor offences. i think it was a couple of years ago a player had not signed one page of his contract (out of something like ten pages) and when the sfa spotted this they kicked that team out of the cup because he was incorrectly registered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccarton3 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) exactly, how many teams have been kicked out of the cups due to minor offences. i think it was a couple of years ago a player had not signed one page of his contract (out of something like ten pages) and when the sfa spotted this they kicked that team out of the cup because he was incorrectly registered These are not fantasies made up by some blogger. Admittedly, there will be blogs supporting retrospective action but that is different from just looking at real decisions and sanctions handed out then concluding that Rangers have been treated with kid gloves. It takes some level of blinkeredness not to see this, or acknowledge it on a fans' forum - surely a simple step for any rounded Hearts fan without an agenda.

Some sellik knuckle dragger, while bevvied on holiday in Majorca thought he get a 10 in a row tattoo across his chest. The tattoo artist misheard him and tattooed Terry Munro!!!
