Suspect the SFA lawyers have already advised same. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I had my brother (normally one of the most reasonable Rangers fans I know) arguing yesterday that a fine is punishment, and rather than an embargo, Rangers should be fined...which would be sufficient. And he's one of the reasonable types. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I see FIFA Vice President Jim Boyce is quoted as saying:- Meanwhile, Boyce also made it clear that if Rangers are expelled by the SFA they could not move to join another association. He said: “I’ve read this rubbish for years that Rangers and Celtic could play in England. Under UEFA and FIFA rules this simply can’t happen.” (Daily Record) So if the SFA do suspend or expell Rangers they will be well and truly fecked!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobardon Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 If this be true, & Souness left Ibrox in 1991, it would surely show further proof that EBT's have been on the go there since Murrays arrival in 1988? Not necessarily the implication of this. He could also have been getting paid at the time. Though that's surely unlikely as it would be illegal. Or the scheme could have been directly misused by paying someone through the trust who wasn't an employee at all. Again, though, you'd have to say that couldn't have happened either as it would be against the rules of the scheme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagsman411971 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 If they have to be liquidated, how can the administrators accept an offer for the assets before the liquidation actually happens. The £5.5m that Green is reported to have agreed with Dumb & Dumber, surely cannot be signed and sealed before the liquidation actually happens. It looks a lot like selling your house to a mate for a few quid, before your divorce comes through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SFA must be bricking it at the thought of proper litigation, not the Rainjurs 'it's no fair' type but sponsors and other clubs suing if we get punted by FIFA. I think I have moved the current status from 'fiasco' up to 'imbroglio' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Sensible Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Motherwell gates fell when the steel mill closed and new industry and jobs have arisen and Motherwell is well located.And did you miss out population growth ?. Motherwell's gates rose after Ravenscraig closed down and there has been no increase in population. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightmile Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 You'll find it was the taxpayers, BoS , HMRC that paid for them .. Rangers was just the bus ,.. ...to be entirely accurate they didn't pay for the bus either - a travel company from County Down is in the list of creditors and have yet to be paid for bus hire services prior to a game with Linfield. RFC even cheat their own pals. Gruesome club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 STV - Prospective Rangers owner seeks Scottish FA talks to prevent FIFA action Prospective Rangers owner Charles Green says he is seeking an urgent meeting with Scottish FA chief Stewart Regan to prevent FIFA from intervening in a dispute between the two organisations. A judge ruled the punishment was “unlawful” and not permissible based on the Scottish FA’s rulebook, despite a clause in the articles of association saying the relevant appeals panel could use its discretion to impose any sanction it saw fit. “I want to have talks with Stewart Regan to find a way out of this for the good of Scottish football,” Green told the Scottish Sun. “There is a balancing act here. We accept Rangers should be punished for the sins of the past. I am not disputing that, the SFA have an obligation to do that. “But I have to stress that the fans of Rangers, administrators and myself feel the initial penalty given to the club was too harsh. “Now there has to be a solution and a way out that doesn’t cause carnage for the game in Scotland.” With the Scottish FA essentially left with no choice but to impose some form of sanction on Rangers, Green is eager to stave off talk of a possible suspension or expulsion from Scottish football for the club he is looking to purchase. “There has been talk that if the SFA appeal to Lord Carloway who rubber-stamped the original decision, then Rangers could be booted out of football for 12 months — or even for good,” he said. “If everyone steps back from the understandable emotions of this for a second I can’t believe anyone who loves the game in Scotland wants that. “I want to speak with Stewart Regan to try and find the right path for Rangers and the game as a whole in this country.” Surely Stewart Regan has 2 ideal excuses here - 1) - that he has no influence over the independent panel who decided the previous judgement and will review it and 2) - that given RFC decided to go down the CoS route the judgement points out that they MUST ONLY use the punishments that they have available and not make one up. Exit stage left for Green me thinks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delusion of these people knows no bounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beermonkey Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Ok, i cant be arsed to trawl back though 20 odd pages to see if this has been covered, so can someone answer this ? If rangers are suspended for say, 1 season, would they have to come back in at 3rd div level or would they be allowed to waltz back into the SPL ? Or is that just something else which no one has a scooby about ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
