They've been quiet because it is not in the nature of a Government Department to disclose their each and every step. (plus they don't have a mongol horde of "fans" to try and keep fleecing.) I suspect until either the BTC Appeal has been decided OR HMRC consider that D&P have completely lost the plot and are trying to weasel out of paying the creditors any respectable amount, they won't take any action.

You're just being silly now. Everyone knows they'll never manage to complete No.8

And you say that like it is something to be proud of ?

Throughout this enjoyable saga, and goodness how long it is going to continue, one thing has really struck me as odd. It's not really been the lack of action from the SPL, nor the seeming acquisence of the other 11 Chairmen to this inaction, certainly not the love in from the west coast media. The one thing that really, really stands out is the blind faith and bigotted belief from the blue hordes that they and their club have done nothing wrong. That they feel they are being punished and harassed for something so minor it should barely rate a mention, and that we are all out to get them just because we are not ra peepul. I wonder if our distrust and hatred of them would lessen if they accepted that they had actually broken the rules, and that they did deserve to be punished and would just take that as a grown up.

Wait, were those fines and penalties not related to letting a not fit and proper person buy your tax dodging club? If other clubs have done that too, then hell mend them, they will have to face those penalties too. ESPN can't tear up a contract that they signed just because they don't like the teams that are in the league.

The letter writing campaign provides some measure of release, but as already been said, is pretty pointless, given the "what can we do, they're Rangers and we need them" rhetoric coming out of the SFA/SPL/Boardrooms. I've written to my MSP, and the First Minister requesting that they don't condone tax evasion on such a grand scale. I've written to my Club's Chairman, both as a fan and a shareholder, expressing my dissatisfaction with the lack of rebuttals to the many "Scottish football needs Rangers" comments and opinions in the National Media. Getting any kind of mass protest organised is probably wishful thinking, but I certainly think it shouldn't be beyond each set of fans to convince themselves that some kind of visible action needs to be taken. What that is, I have no idea.
