The boy recently had open heart surgery its a big risk.

Dave King had to have open heart surgery after hearing the price?  Did they not have to take that player from Brighton on loan because they couldn't pay?  So that's four and a half million alone to Brighton and a few other player to buy. I hope it skins the arse of them.

I would doubt that 3.5 million is the figure involved. More spin to make them look like big players in the transfer market. What ever the figure it will no doubt be on the never, never. Any money up front will come from the season ticket pot. What ever way you look at it unless a huge refinancing is done they are skating on very thin ice.

Excellent point regarding the true cost of these signings.  What a pathetic club they are.  Doing this so they can look like they're still big players.

To be fair, the only quotes are perfectly fine from Maxwell.  It doesn't actually say he is just meeting King.

 

 

"My door is always open and I'll always be here to speak to any club about any concerns they have," Maxwell said.

A general quote about any club having concerns and the headlines are SFA to hold talks with rangers. Its a BBC article. I thought it was the sun or the record. The lisence fee payers deserve better. Thank feck I don't have to pay for a licence. Paying for a TV lisence so Billy Dodds can get some pocket money when he's out of a job. Yeah, sure!

The SFA are little more than lickspittals for both sides of the Old Firm.  If they had any balls at all King would have been brought to account for some of the things he has said. Just think of the way Romanov was dealt with for having the temerity to suggest that they were less than honest.

You are right, but the difference is the crawling Scottish press coverage. Romanov was an easy target for them, and the SFA. King and Rangers will be reported differently by the cheerleading media, and dealt with differently by an SFA who are the essence of different rules for different clubs.

This is why Romanov described them as corrupt. Unfortunately, he was less than honest and straightforward himself,  leaving himself, and Hearts, exposed to the xenophobic rantings of creeps like those on BBC Sportscene.

Some clubs are more equal than others in the eyes of the SFA.

It's why the game here will always languish in the doldrums. A governing body that's totally bent and a press that ignores the corruption.

Vlad wasn't the chairman of the club, so they can't play that card with king. The chairman of the holding company bollocks is just that.  He should have to face the SFA like anyone else involved in Scottish football.

When asked directly if he would be speaking to King, he said ‘I’ll be speaking to all the clubs’ so no then as King’s a director of the holding company otherwise he’d have failed the fit & proper

 

they then go go on to mention the SFA made record profits and would share £10.4M between the clubs, giving each an eight figure payout. Must be including the pennies

Eight figutes!    you're right. If king isn't part if the football club, why are they even entertaining him?  Until he is on the board of the football club, he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the SFA offices. How the feck are other clubs letting him get away with this?  Shitebags the lot of them. That includes our board. That's my only criticism of Ann Budge. She doesn't seem to be as outspoken on the running of the game as she was when she first got involved. The fact thary not one other club's chairman/ chairwoman is willing to question this. Do we need the old firms dirty dollar that much? Feck em

The quintessential British club that couldn't give a shire about the law. Amazed what that club are allowed to get away with. Other clubs should keep these King quotes handy incase they get pulled up this season. The SFA can't find anyone guilty of anything.

No doubt the GASL is very slippery and cunning as a fox he has fooled/conned the ORCS to stump up hard cash for him to use, he has conned slippy G to front the con and it might just work it is costing him not a jot he is a very good con artist that is for sure.

the only thing that will improve them is paying back the taxes they stole from the people to fund the fans and murrays ego trip, give up the trophies they cheated to get and apologise to the british people.....along with murray doing time for instigating the cheating.

The SFA gave Sevco a silver certificate meaning they pass on most criteria ,but the FPP means you can only get a eufa place if you have less than so much debt ,I don't think 27 mil will be alright if EUFA block SEVCO then the SFA will be told to explain how they didn't know the situation.As EUFA have explained you cannot go into debt just to make money from European competition when other clubs who did not qualify are better run

I am expecting Rangers to be in Europe next year. By all accounts (pardon the pun) it makes a mockery of FFP and the rulebook. Just like 2012. 

 

However with evidence given under oath and some bloggers alleging multi million pound fraud from that episode, perhaps there might be more scrutiny this time around. 

 

I am for fairness, if they dont comply they shouldnt get a license. Been watching Scottish football long enough to know fairness and rules apply differently. However King firing shots at the authorities might have soured the milk of goodwill or point towards bad news regarding FFP scrutiny coming down the pike.

Michael Beale becomes first-team coach, Tom Culshaw takes up the role of technical coach with Jordan Milson appointed head of performance.

 

Sounds very expensive.  I hope they have cash for it.
