Happy Buddie Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 If only. All parties (SFL/SPL/SFA) have agreed that they all must agree to the acceptance of Newco. It is the SPL that is preventing it at the moment and I would say that this has as much to do with trying to force the SFL's hand on media rights as it has to do with double contracts. FFS any punishment of Newco for double contracts is going to be pretty minor compared to the benefit that Oldco gained and the only thing it is causing is uncertainty. How about, they give Newco the membership but state that they will still be investigating the double contracts and that if when they are found guilty, the club will be up on a bringing the game into disrepute charge with the SFA. They can then be punished by the SFA and if they do not accept it, then the SFA can then begin the process of eviction. Or, setting out a line in the sand so the next club to step out of line (financially, contractually, etc. ) can't point at TRFC and say "well they got away with it." Cos guaranteed the next (diddy) team that does step out of line will be nuked in an instant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Alas, this is at the discretion of the SFA. For membership at least. I'm not sure about this. The only source we have for it is an anonymous SFA bod, quoted by a reporter on Twitter, can't remember which one. The rule was certainly applied strictly to Gretna 2008. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tio Pepe Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 any punishment of Newco for double contracts is going to be pretty minor compared to the benefit that Oldco gained . I'm not so sure about that. Rangers false league positions during the years in question have resulted in them gaining and others losing prize money. That would need to be redressed. Also did Rangers qualify directly for the group stages of the Champions League through winning a title they ought not to have won. If so that's a huge chunk of income they've gained and another Scottish team has lost. That also needs to be redressed. To me the footballing authorities are cacking themselves about the ramifications of Rangers being found guilty of registration offences. Hence the SFA and SFL stating they have no wish to remove cup wins and the SPL appearing only to want to remove titles rather than redraw the leagues after awarding Rangers opponents 3 - 0 wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozam76 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 What was the line used a wee while back. Can't for the life of me remember which one of the authorities it was used it now, but it was something about "fear or favour". I can only assume it was the SFA talking about being shit scared and willing to bend over at impossible angles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's accused him so far of being in cahoots with the Regan/Media/Celtic axis of evil, links to the mafia and international terrorism (!) despotic, wilfully corrupt and many other nasty things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said they would apply the rules and regulations of their league and association without fear or favour.

Here And if they do that pertaining to EBT/double contracts, nobody outside Rangers will have a problem. What are you waiting for, Regan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
