I may be being whooshed here, but how come neither the SFA nor SPL websites (nor BBC for that matter) has got this statement online before the poster above has posted it here?
They're all watching the Olympics

SPL/SFA/SFL/Sevco = Bawbaggery in the extreme.
I'm totally scunnered.
That is all.

Mind you, Doncaster is indeed a muppet, so well done lads.
Can't really disagree with that, although I'm thinking more womble than muppet.

Full text from Malcolm Murray statement for those that can't get to the link.....
RANGERS chairman Malcolm Murray has insisted tonight that an agreement with the SFA has not yet been signed.
However,he has pointed out that the reality facing Rangers is to suffer sanctions or risk not playing at all.
Earlier tonight the SFA released a statement saying Rangers had accepted a signing embargo from September 1 2012 to August 31 2013.
He said:"Board members, the Manager and senior executives from the Club have been meeting with the SFA this week with the sole purpose of ensuring the long term future of Rangers.
"For clarity, we have not signed any agreement yet and therefore believe the SFA's statement to be premature.
"We have had days of discussions with the SFA and it is important for everyone, but most importantly our fans, to understand that the SFA said it would only transfer the membership to play football if we accepted some form of additional sanctions for the sins of previous regimes.
"The choice is stark - take sanctions or risk not playing football at all. We do not wish to gamble with the Club's future so, under duress, we have taken the difficult decision to accept some sanctions in order to move forward.
"A delayed transfer ban would be a bitter pill to swallow and will only be agreed to if the alternative is no football.
"We would have a window in which to sign players enabling the manager to strengthen the squad which is critical for the Club to start the process of rebuilding.
"We also regret that any agreement with the SFA appears not to have the support of the SPL and, as such, it still wishes to impose further sanctions on the Club for the actions of previous regimes despite already voting us out of its league. This is truly astounding to everyone at the Club who is now in charge of rebuilding Rangers from Division 3, particularly as the SPL are still trying to benefit from our media rights.
"Whilst we are deeply frustrated that the Club and the new owners will have to accept some punishments for the sins of previous regimes, we are at the point where wehave to move forward and get back playing football.
"We will all continue to work hard over the coming days in order to begin the season and play our first match next Sunday.
"Rangers fans around the world have been tremendous in their support for the Club overthe last six months - through what has been an horrendous period in our history.
"Supporters have been badly bruised by recent events and they more than anyone deserve to see their team playing football again. To move forward we must all now rally behind the Manager and Club through this rebuilding process.
"We have a long road ahead but every one of us involved in taking the Club forward is committed to restoring Rangers to greatness again and we will not falter in our commitment."

If Celtic are one cheek, and TCFKAR the other, I assume we'd need a poll to decide who the arsehole in the middle is?
Stewart Regan? I was going to say that he seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place at the moment but I now have a 'hole' different picture in my head

This is you just talking to yourself.
Could it be the Andy Gorams?

You are the one that has not got a clue. You didn't know about the Saltire on the strips. You had no idea that the support had made a concious effort to bring in more Scottish flags to the games.
There is not a chance you are in anyway a Rangers supporter. The utter hatred in this post would do Captain Sensible proud.
We will keep our flag because...well it is OUR Flag!! We will continue to fly both proudly above our stadium.

My take is that after the last few months they have to be seen to be doing something. However, despite an almighty slap in the face from Green and the CoS, Campbell Ogilvie's SFA are persisting with their unlawful, made up punishment as they don't want to suspend their pet, which is what the absolute minimum they be doing. The only headwear they should have is a judges black cap but instead the RFC baseball cap is to hand.
Well, as the saying goes, "If the cap fits......"

From a distance, I'm relieved that the door has finally closed on Sevco getting into one of the two top leagues, and now await the football authorities acting on the double contract issue, as well as (if Sevco actually does appear next season) seeing how the cops at division 3 grounds cope with the likely behaviour of their fan base.
But a disappointment was seeing Topping being re-elected as non-executive chairman: he is part of the problems we've been facing.
Have to agree with this. It's all too easy to scapegoat Doncaster and Regan.

I think many of us are more than a little surprised at the outcome so far. No Sevco in SPL, no Sevco in D1. A reminder that only a few days ago (4th July) we were all waiting to hear the result of the initial SPL vote. This BBC interview were Doncaster says D3 is not viable option is nothing short of embarrassing and, knowing all that we know now, with the backroom manoeuvring that were going on we need to keep pressing for change at the top of our game. It's clear that the priorities of the suits at the top are not the priorities of the vast majority of fans.
Mon the diddies!

I understood it being Sevco away to Stennie.
Sevco replace Stranraer in the league and surely that would extend to Ramsdens Cup?
They'll replace Stranraer in the league and Dundee in the Ramsdens Cup.

Are you associating Govan with Tibet? That would make Charles Green the Dalai Lama.
I prefer to think of him as a Del Boy Lama.

Who was plastered over the papers up until yesterday saying fans had to "balance" integrity with finance, let the "professionals" do their job, and appreciate that SFL1 was the way forward?
Is this another turbo-charged backtrack, perchance?
Yup. Call me cynical, but that's politicians for you.

Motherwells budget was cut for this year before any of this shit kicked off,watch this space for more cuts and news of more "concsciousness drivel" filtering its way down to you and your ilk from your board of directors in the near future. But as you and your merry band of men have repeatedly stated , youll be more than happy because you will still have your sporting integrity intact. Alls well that ends well if you`ll pardon the pun.... Paddy Power have just opened a book on which clubs are most likely to fall in the wake of todays decision......guess where Motherwell come in the list??????
Calm down Jim. It's only a game.

I'm angry but not surprised by what's happened here. It's the same clowns that are in charge of the various 'governing bodies' and nothing will change until they're gone.
