Romeo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 So, as the title says if Dave (glib and shameless) King stood on the steps of the asbesto-dome and admitted that the old liquidated, dead Rangers cheated to gain a sporting advantage, and he would have to use the words "we cheated" would you accept this as a full and final resolution and we could "move on" which seems to be the phrase of the month.

Co.Down Hibee Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 No ,if they've cheated then they should be punished accordingly the same as anyone else, if they haven't or are not found to have ,then move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes.....Move on to addressing the cheating that they had now admitted to. Saying sorry does not adequately address the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not mean "previous"? Or do you have evidence that the new lot are at it, too? And "No", is my answer, on the basis you are talking about oldco/club/thingy.

Dons_1988 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I thought we were supposed to apologise to them for kicking them when they were down and all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano 3d Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I would be happy to accept an apology and move on. Compromise requires a bit of give in both directions. The apology should come from a number of people, including those who benefitted from the cheating regime. Step forward messrs Smith, McLeish and McCoist. I believe McLeish has already proffered a figurative hand - unfortunately in the form of a right hook.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Who in their right mind would actually believe or accept any sort of apology from Dave King? He's a man who finds it easier to lie than to look in a single direction at any one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loonapick Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 If they've cheated, and I genuinely believe they have, then their titles should be stripped a la Armstrong, Johnson, Green etc. I wouldn't give the titles to anyone else, but just have the records show "No title awarded" or *Rangers (found to have fielded ineligible players, or whatever the appropriate wording for their cheating is). An apology would help, but we're not going to get that, because that would be an admission of guilt, and they know the possible consequences of their admitting their guilt. Also, apologies tend to come from a position of humility and shame - not attributes I'd associate with either manifestation of the Ibrox-based team/club/company.

Ken Fitlike Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 'we cheated and recognize that all trophies won during the EBT side letters era should be declared void' would clear a fair bit of the stench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 No. Too little. Too late. They had their chance to come clean and have a fresh start. They now have 3 years of pish, wind, alleged fraud, vile rhetoric and criminal stewardship to apologise for too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Halliday Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Can I ask a question to the sporting integrity brigade. How can a legal tax avoidance scheme, which was declared in the yearly accounts be classed as cheating? Genuine question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Halliday Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hahaha. Predictable answer. We had to lie to operate a legal scheme = cheating. Your logic is incredible but not surprising.
