Granny Danger Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 A few questions. How are the SFA going to punish Rangers on the disrepute charge? It's the 12-month signing embargo or the Cup suspension going by the 'complete financial meltdown' Armageddon prediction. Rangers have a case to answer over the dual contracts. How are the SPL going to punish them? Surely the oldco can't be reinstated to the SPL? If they are, that's at least £800,000 to Hearts for Lee Wallace. I'm sure more will come to me The SFA punishment is 30 minutes on the naughty step. The SPL punishment is 30 minutes on the naughty step. These punishments wil be served concurrently and may be reduced to 20 minutes 10 minutes 0 minutes and a cuddle instead on appeal. Oh and they're getting jelly too; our jelly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(all named in the creditor list on CVA document, apologies if forgotten some more) They can't exactly leave it to SFA when SFA aren't taking action. From memory, their footballing debts come to £800,000 more than oldco gets from the sale of Jellyfish. Over to you Lieutenant Green!

Macshimmy Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Interesting development... the brownshirts are getting democracy - might be a case of be careful what you wish for: RANGERS FANS FIGHTING FUND SURVEY The Rangers Fans Fighting Fund have listened to the views of a variety of Scottish clubs and their fanbases about the current situation at Rangers and would like to offer Rangers supporters the opportunity to give their collective opinion. In the interests of sporting integrity, the RFFF approached Charles Green for permission (which was granted) to conduct an electronic survey on their behalf amongst the Club’s season ticket database. This will give an indication of the thoughts on what Division you, the fans, believe Rangers should aim to be playing in next season. The choices, as we see them, are: Rangers should apply to join the SFL First Division next season (which may include possible sanctions) Rangers should apply to join the SFL First Division next season (with no sanctions) Rangers should apply to join the SFL Third Division (with no sanctions) In order to complete this survey please click on the link below and submit your entry no later than 12noon on Monday 2 July 2012. As fans you are encouraged to express your views in this survey and the results will be made public. Nae season ticket nae vote ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laeotaekhun Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) That bit may well be true. The rubbish part is the bit about the SFA or SPL having any obligation towards the running of one club, or the fact that the mismanagement of the club could be a reflection of the governing bodies. So, let me get this right. 1) You do not believe that The SFA & The SPL have any responsibility for ensuring that their members act within their own rules/laws and the laws of the land. & 2) You do not believe that they were negligent in allowing a previously disqualified director to pass their "fit & proper person" test. Is that correct? Edited June 29, 2012 by Laeotaekhun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoonsLad Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Away to try and catch up on 30 odd pages but this has just been announced from Forfar Athletic. Don't know that it makes their position clear but at least communicating with fans. The Board of Directors at Forfar Athletic Football club will be making no public comment on the current crisis in Scottish Football brought about by the liquidation of Rangers FC and the likely rejection of the Newco's application to remain in the SPL, prior to a meeting of SFL club's at Hampden Park on Tuesday of next week." The club's Chairman and Secretary will attend this meeting with an open mind on the subject, will listen and enter into the discussions and no doubt arguments that will ensue on the day. They will then report back to their fellow Directors before the club make any decision on motions which will be put to an extraordinary and undoubtedly historic general meeting of the Scottish Football League to be held later in July. As they have always done throughout recent history, Forfar Athletic officials will at all times give serious consideration in any deliberations on what is the best course of action going forward for the Scottish footballing family as a whole and of course the protection and future of Forfar Athletic Football Club will be paramount.

Montague Withnail Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Normally I pine for August but this summer I don't want the close season to end - its provided far more excitement than any football I've watched in recent years. And when the new season eventually does come around, whatever happens with SEVCO5088 or whatever they're called, 3rd, 1st or nowhere, there's going to be the most almighty bun-fight between fans, clubs and the football authorities. If justice is not done, I can see myself and others walking onto the NDP turf, stopping a game with a peaceful protest and, probably, getting a lifetime ban. And what's more, I couldn't care because I'd want nothing to do with the corrupt, threatening, sycophantic entity that is Scottish Football. There must be thousands like me and, unless everyone involved in Scottish Football suddenly grows a pair, they won't be seeing these customers again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
