Daaaaaad! Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think it will all depend on who comes in and where the club is left. I take your point absolutely but the truth is there is no certainty about anything now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary v1 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I think the only certainty is that Rangers will be liquidated. I can't see any other alternative to it. I assume someone will buy the name and start up a new club but Rangers as we know them are finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SiMania Posted April 24, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 24, 2012 All the top guys took a paycut on the condition they can leave on a cut priced deal in the summer at 1/4 of their value. So Davis will be for sale at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Sky News are reporting that the SFA have banned Craig Whyte from involvement in the Scottish game for life. They have also slapped a twelve month transfer ban on Rangers. Hopefully that will put an end to talk of Rangers signing Steve Jennings in the summer.

David Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Welcome back David. Cheers. I was hoping Rangers wouldn't go down the drain whilst I was gone, wouldn't want to miss out on the party  I see that RST have issued a statement regarding the measures taken by the SFA against Rangers;  This is a shameful decision that has been taken with the sole purpose of crippling Rangers Football Club. It is completely unacceptable and fans groups will be meeting to explore how we jointly express our opposition to this decision in the strongest possible terms. This could include protesting at Hampden on on the day of the Scottish Cup Final as well as boycotting SFA sponsors William Hill, Carling and Vauxhall. All options are on the table and no Rangers player or supporter can credibly play in or support the national side until this ridiculous decision is reversed. Hitting Rangers in this way is in stark contrast to the soft justice dished out to Neil Lennon last week for a string of offences in which he questioned the integrity of the referees and officials. The SFA appears to have one set of rules for one club yet a completely different set for the other.  Despite calls to delay this action the SFA persisted with this case while the club was not in a position to adequately defend itself and had the SFA done its job in the first place on Craig Whyte then this entire saga could have been avoided.  Rangers supporters are appalled by this decision which brings shame on the SFA and the national side. Also, it appears that the footsoldiers will be out in force;  I see they don't want to be treated fairly as far as punishment goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Glasgow City Council have said the walk/protest will be illegal as they have not contacted them for permission. Â The "WATP" attitude is out in force. I don't know why they think they shouldn't be punished because, "it was all Craig Whyte". If it was Desmond or Lawwell, we'd have to face the same consequences.

David Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 It's a complete farce. I've already decided that should Rangers go into liquidation and a NEWCO is given the green light to walk right back into the SPL, I'm done with Scottish football. Â A major part of my decision is the fact that Derek Weir of Motherwell sits on the SPL board who would have to sanction such a move. If my club is responsible in playing a major part in destroying the legitimacy of the SPL then I couldn't watch it any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SiMania Posted April 24, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 24, 2012 What sanctions did Motherwell get when they went into administration? Was it just the 10 point reduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 What sanctions did Motherwell get when they went into administration? Was it just the 10 point reduction? They didn't have the ten point penalty system in place at that time if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 What sanctions did Motherwell get when they went into administration? Was it just the 10 point reduction? Â None. Rangers have only received the 10 point deduction for going into administration. The rest are penalties they should have received even if the PAYE tax avoidance hadn't put them into admin. Â Add me to the list of people done with Scottish football if they waltz back into the SPL. It would be a complete slap in the face to the integrity of our game. Â Graham Spiers made a tremendous point tonight to the fans blaming the SFA for not carrying out proper tests. If the SFA had blocked the takeover, they'd have been fucking beeling.

gary v1 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Similarly the BBC did look into his background and they didn't want to hear a word of it and actually banned them from ibrox. Damned if you do and damned if you don't with these idiots. Â Personally I think the 1 year ban is a very apt punishment given that they haven't paid plenty of clubs the money that they're owed for previous transfers. Maybe an indefinite ban until all member clubs get the money that's owed to them would be fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
