But surly they have a point.... The evidence is in the public domain. Two Celtic shareholders (O’Brien and Desmond) own 45% of INM, of which MacLennan is chairman. His position is literally dependent on their continued support. If this was the other way round, do we think Celtic and their support would be quiet? There is absolutely no point to Newco. We all know that. GTTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The The Rangers or the holding company ? Why is the SPFL in public correspondence with a guy who is not fit for purpose and so holds no position at The Rangers FC (or whatever the footbll club is called) . King is chairman of the holding company. Why is the SPFL getting involved with a body that is not a member club ? The SPFL really is kissing King's ass.

jambosdad Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 King is, as far as I am aware, dealing with matters from outwith UK. His money is outside U.K. control so TOP or any other organisation who he is avoiding or slating cannot get at him or the money. He is deliberately winding up SPFL and Celtic. What is the plan? Get made an undesirable person and banned from holding office. Can then say, sorry teddybears can't give you help or money now. Saves him and his money. I do believe he is right to question this guy's position in SPFL. Celtic would be shouting the odds if it was other way round. What a mess!!

Not sure being a non executive (i.e part time) Chairman of a company is really that relevant. Even if the two Celtic shareholders hold close to 50% of the shares. The optics aren't great and the second SPFL statement was both clumsy and frankly unnecessary but we could find literally 10s to 100s of examples involving Rangers in the last 25 years (e.g. rangers supporter and shareholder who was also chairman of Airdrie apparently being the decision maker with regards to Newco claiming Oldco titles etc etc) It's a distraction from something that is about to happen relating to King and/or Rangers.

I do believe he is right to question this guy's position in SPFL. Celtic would be shouting the odds if it was other way round. What a mess!! The most important & simple issue facing King right now is he is in contempt of court. Hopefully it's just a question of time before a warrant is issued for his arrest. Following that he will have to address the TOP ruling : this isn't going to go away. This isn't S Africa and King can't buy his way out of this. King can't be allowed to give two fingers to the City of London and get away with it : the implications for them could be catastrophic. This is uncharted territory even by King's very low standards and he doesn't know what punishment he might face but he will know it will severely impinge of the everyday business of Rangers and by implication, himself (to the extent he trades - or not- in the UK). Ultimately, he has a lot of cash invested in Rangers and he stands to lose a lot. The issue of the concert party still hasn't gone away and those involved in that with King might still face sanctions. Rangers have no money, cannot borrow money except from companies like Close Bros, cannot reduce debt by share issue . It continues , and by intention, to trade at a loss as a matter of publicly stated policy. It can't continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What "sanctions" are you talking about ? UEFA will grant (or not ) the licence - it's not in the gift of the SFA.

He answered "It will happen I would say definitely by the end of June", which coincidentally is one of UEFA's licence monitoring points. We are now into June, and King has been rather quiet on the raising of the £6million he had promised. Still nothing about complying with the Take Over Pannel (TOP) ruling, and he will need to have that done and dusted before he can even start with his rights issue to raise the new capital. Just speculation, but I wonder if the granting of Rangers European Licence for the coming season was conditional, that the £6m was needed to meet these conditions, and if King / Rangers are now running out of time to comply..?

ghkjambo Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Yesterday was the deadline for nominations for UEFA places, do we expect to see a Scottish side missing from that list? It’s my understanding that both FFP and UEFA licensing regulations (including financial stability measures) need to be adhered to and reported accurately by the clubs. There is no allowance for future financial restructuring or share issues to fix liquidity/FFP problems now we’re into June. Surely a certain Glasgow-based club (that has openly stated they are intentionally running at a huge annual loss) can’t be trusted to report their own position accurately. Interestingly, UEFA now does their own verification of candidates for licensing. Let’s hope UEFA can get a clear picture so the granting of a license is fair... as if.

I think it's possible this is because they're worried they'll not get a Euro licence (Stevie G will be furious), and if so, they need someone to blame. Actually there is two reasons, The blantant disregard of the City laws, as to which every delaying mechanism has now been exhausted, breaking every City law, surely even the SFA cant cover up from EUFA where their FFP rules are concerned, plus if they were to be granted a licence, then if they win one game, that will incur the wrath of that member association/league as to why they were allowed in the tournament. Second reason is the charges they now face regarding being granted a licence in the 2011/12 season, where new evidence has come to light in the form of a side letter on the wee tax case. I remember in the thread before this one arguing that you dont have to pay tax if in dispute, but the full amount will be paid with immediate effect once the dispute has been settled. Well it looks like that time line based on leaked emails and contracts shed more light on that indeed they might not have been in tax dispute but in fact admitted full liability, but chose not to pay their liabilities, a clear breach of UEFA rules. Rangers Champions league participation at that time appears to have been used to raise funds to pay the tax bill, where the rules state that the bill should be paid before entry. as you can understand UEFA are a tad upset more so with the SFA, who are now claiming they were lied to. The thing is other leaked documentation could also prove that certain members of the SFA might have known more about the facts surrounding the failed criteria Rangers had for accetping a licence. If Rangers had been denied, then the house of cards would have crumbled then and there, but they were relying on a good tournament to fund their insolvency? Now the SFA might have been innocent parties and been fully lied to? but they might have exposed these lies earlier, or as it was put, they wont lie IF the press ask the right questions. So then Rangers might have used this to grab them by the short and curlies? So now are the SFA trying to cover up the cover up? Thats where the leaded side letter comes, in? Rangers admitted full tax liability of Moore and De Boer, but there was a third party which they denied a side letter? Trouble is that person has now been hit with that tax liability from hector, so hence the side letter has been leaked? now it's provenance is under distupte and could easily be a fake as could this whole story? But if the letter is kosher then it proves that Rangers did have a side letter which they denied, and that they also admitted full liability for the wee tax case, in which they should have paid the wee tax bill before entry to UEFA. But then what do I know, I fully acept I am a misinformed internet bampot as Jabba would put it. In essence is down to Kilmarnock to complain, they could have qualified for Europe then, and guess what could be denied a legitimate place this year too But if there is a side letter then it proves that they lied to the SFA/SPL/SPFL/UEFA and LNS....claims have now been made as to the SFA either for negligence for not asking Hector what was the status of the wee tax case at that time, or they already knew the answer and that well you know the rest? better put here http://10ste93kec2i6oi6nlhmxd19.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/TOGRangersReport.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe would just (probably) be a short stay and depending on the draw may even cost them money. The whole point of the season is to get as far up the league as is possible. Kilmarnock should get whats deserved them. If another teams fan boycott breaks you then you should just close the doors. Maybe its different for us because we pay monthly and see ourselves as not just fans now. Also our season ticket holder numbers mean we're pretty much self reliant.

I think it's possible this is because they're worried they'll not get a Euro licence (Stevie G will be furious), and if so, they need someone to blame. Stevie boy starts work today but won't be near the place for a fortnight. Wonder if he is waiting to see how this Euro license goes? Its never straight forward with that lot so you never know. All those season tickets sold and Stevie goes back home. It would be brilliant. It goes wrong this time and the orcs are rioting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkierobroy Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Had a look on Killie KickBack. Not even a discussion on the possibility of questioning the new club's Euro place, so I think we can assume there's not much expectation there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless clubs like Kilmarnock stand up to this, they'll keep abusing it. They bully the media, the governing bodies and other clubs. Sickening.

Mikey1874 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Overall the SPFL director complaint and the suspensions / fines for Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller give clear evidence of the culture and governing of Rangers. Gross stupdity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the Despicable Me woud like to happen. Keeps Kilmarnock out of Europe while booting out sevco and embarrassing the SFA and SPFL to boot!

Oh and this, plucked from BearsDen http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/topic/316152-institutionalised-prejudice-against-rangers-–-are-we-there-yet/ Such a thick delusional bunch. The Rangers support is traditionally made up of proud, hard-working, decent people who conduct themselves with integrity So...many...things...can't...say...

Wouldnt do much but maybe an undercover agent needs to start a thread to highlight this on the killie kickback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
