ribzanelli Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The whole point of the blog entry is that they would be too scared to do anything. I think the flaw in the guy's reasoning is that HMRC are not likely to want a precedent to be set where a club could evade its debts in the manner described especially given Rangers were the test case for EBTs. My interpretation is that they would be unable to do anything. Perhaps you are correct, I can't be bothered re-reading it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The league Table without results against Rangers Interestingly not that much different, the only notable being Aberdeen's leapfrogging of Killie. Great stuff from Leggo today http://leggoland2.blogspot.co.uk/ That nasty "Republic of Ireland born Tom English" has been writing bad things about them. SINISTER! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Pardon my ignorance, but who is this David Leggat? Is he a professional Journalist in any sort of capacity? Or just some mad man with access to a computer? His ramblings are nothing short of sheer lunacy. Edited April 30, 2012 by Guest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wee story about this to@sser..A good few years ago They had to break down the lavvie door in The Kittybrewster Bowling club in Aberdeen, there they found the bold Mr Leggat steamin drunk, troosers at his knees covered in puke, pysh and babbling incoherently that he was the best journalist in the world, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 From Leggat's recent mental case ramblings.. You just could not make it up. It is hard to believe such utter drivel..

Drooper Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Today is a very big day for me in terms of my status as a St Mirren supporter. For me, this is way more important that whatever fate befalls Rangers. If my club votes to accept the 'financial fair play proposals' in their entirity, then I've had it with senior football. I'll go to our last home game of the season this coming Saturday to say my goodbyes - particularly to Hugh Murray who is a a genuine club legend - then that'll be it for me. Events of the last week or so should surely serve to give the other clubs the courage and determination to do the right thing. There is a developing groundswell of opinion that Rangers will have to take whatever hit is coming, and the diddy clubs surely recognise that this is an opportunity that, if not taken, is unlikely to come around again. Stand up and be counted diddies....your time is NOW! Edit for typos. Edited April 30, 2012 by Drooper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've just posted, this could be the day that effectively ends my love affair with senior football in Scotland. I'm actually feeling a bit sick thinking about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand up and be counted diddies....your time is NOW! Edit for typos. I agree with this completely, but I don't think I would have it in me to stop supporting St Johnstone. If the SPL clubs don't show bottle, I'll be disappointed for sure, and I'm telling myself I'll be done with them, but I wont be able to bring myself to do it. The chairmen are all aware of the blanket feeling of their supporters, if they don't act in the best interest of those particular stakeholders, then I think a lot of people will be good to their word and not go back though. This is a massive decision for the clubs, one with no ideal scenario from their perspective. I suppose it depends if they value their supporters more, or the other revenues in the Scottish game (in particular the tv money). I don't even want to think about the answer to that.
