And I've to see any quotes from him agreeing to this, can anyone provide any? "Rangers ambassador" ... that is almost as funny as this from Green: Rangers football club to float shares on AIM market: http://www.sportsfus...oat-shares.html Rangers football club has formally announced that it intends to float its shares on the AIM market in London. The club said it intended to raise up to £20m through an institutional investor placing and limited public offering. Rangers said the funds raised would be used to strengthen the player squad, improve facilities and provide additional working capital. Fans wanting to invest have been invited to register their interest. A document released on behalf of the club states: "Playing at the 51,000 seater Ibrox stadium, which is Scotland's only UEFA elite club stadium, and benefiting from the world class 38-acre Murray Park training facility, the club has been a major force in Scottish football for decades." Registration of interest for the shares was opening at 17:00 BST. Charles Green, chief executive of Rangers, said: "From the time we acquired the business and assets of Rangers FC, we indicated our intention to list the company and provide our fans with the opportunity to invest in their club. I am delighted that our plans are coming to fruition. "Rangers is debt-free and a huge club with enormous support and a 140-year track record of success on the domestic and international arenas. "Our aim is to return the club to its glory days whilst ensuring it is run efficiently and profitably." They truly are... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS-18 ICBM Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 None, I would only attend a few Scotland games I imagIne the majority of the 37k thousand ST holders at ibrox would do also refrain from supporting another club, that is a huge dent in the income to Scottish football no matter which way you look at it. Now what would u do if Hearts ceased to exist? Since when did you or any ST holders at ibrox become concerned about Scottish football? If any of you were 'genuinely' concerned about Scottish football you would not support the corrupt cheating tax/creditor dodging club that you support. The income that you as fans of 'The Rangers' contributed to Scottish football has not improved Scottish football, it has been detrimental to Scottish football and benefited nobody other than individuals employed within your corrupt cheating tax/creditor dodging club. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that both Rangers and Celtic together were very much responsible, unwittingly but maybe not intentionally, for much of the negativity within Scottish football. Both clubs together have throttled Scottish football due to their politics which have no place in sport. But, "The old firm" died last season so you don't need to concern yourself with that anymore. I believe that Celtic as a club are and always have been altruistic as a club, financially towards Scotland as a whole. They have also done very much during the last 20 years to discourage all from participating in what most peace loving people consider to be anti-social behaviour. I cannot say the same about the dead Rangers as a club or the comedy club that has replaced it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshit, the minute sponsorship took a hold of the game the OF quickly hopped into bed together realising that going alone would not make a very good proposition, which sponsor would want to risk alienating half of Scotland. Most despicably the got together to force the rest of the SPL to habnd over 5% of their takings from OF fanms as a "handling charge".

SS-18 ICBM Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Makes sense... Peter Lawwell has ruled out league reconstruction to help Sevco accelerate their way into the top flight. Reconstruction suddenly re-appeared on the agenda during the summer after SFL clubs refused to give Sevco a place in the First Division. SFA chief Stewart Regan predicted the slow lingering death of Scottish football as well as social unrest after his plan for Sevco was rejected by SFL clubs who granted Charles Green’s club a place in the Third Division. Under the current set up Sevco won’t reach the top flight until the 2015/16 season with Lawwell seeing no prospect of that process being short circuited. “I don’t see where that will come from,” Lawwell replied to the question of reconstruction. “They are in the Third Division at the moment and it looks like it will take three or four years to get there. “In my view, will Rangers get promoted each year? I believe they will be. “Their resources are greater than any of the clubs they are up against and logically they will be back in the Premier League in four years.” The formation of some sort of European league continues to surface from time to time with Lawwell open-minded to developments within UEFA. “I think the way the world is changing,” he added. “The world’s got smaller, the strong appear to be getting stronger. “In terms of media rights, the big nations are just growing and growing while smaller nations like ourselves, Holland and Belgium are being left behind financially. “We recognise there are changes in the world. There are events that may occur, whether it’s through the media, or whether it’s through Uefa, that we need to keep tabs on and need to make sure that, if there is change, Celtic are part of that change.” http://videocelts.com/2012/10/blogs/lawwell-rules-out-reconstruction 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 they share the blame equally for the raping and pillaging of Scottish Football by both clubs and their fans. Don't talk shite Motherwell are one of the clubs to breakaway from the SFL to set up the SPL Why? Not for the benefit of Scottish football, they done it for the same reason as everyone else did. Money Motherwell only care about 1 club, and that's Motherwell, same as every thee club. If the SPL could get away with it, they'd vote to scrap relegation So please get off your high horse, Motherwell are as guilty as anyone else for self interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post, although Enrico's subsequent point about the self-interest of all SPL clubs involved in its creation is equally valid. As for the debate about McCoist and EBTs, I'm afraid I'm with the likes of Youngsy and Tedi on this. Lots of people have been listed as having received EBTs and none of them have challenged the assertion. McCoist doesn't appear on this list, suggesting he didn't have one. The fact is that he might have had one,but the evidence availabe to us at this stage suggects otherwise. In making this an issue however, people are totally missing the point. Whether or not he had one is irrelevant. Lots of people clearly did. Players who may have been improperly registered as a result, clearly did. McCoist's personal situation is actually pretty irrelevant. Please people, stop fighting battles you might not win - there are far easier pickings around the entire Rangers story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDR Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/ Hey SS-18 ICBM, your quote from Celtic's Peter Lawwell missed out a very important sentence: "I think, for the moment, we are committed to the Scottish Premier League and doing our best for Scottish football." In other words, Celtic will funk off without a backwards glance if an Atlantic InterToto Big Fish Small Pond League ever gets started. This thread is about The Rangers, but please let's not deceive ourselves that the green cheek of the "Old Firm" cares any more about Scottish football than the blue cheek did. It's all about the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingrodent Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Good God. There's plenty to criticize Celtic for, but let's not kid ourselves - every club in the SPL would crawl ten miles through a sewer wearing Sevco strips for a couple of million quid extra a year, and everybody knows it. It's a shite state of affairs, but there it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shite state of affairs, but there it is. This is perfectly true, but the difference is that the OF had muscles to flex. This they did and the particularly distasteful part is that they sometimes did it collectively, while hiding behind this facade of rivalry - a rivalry they knew served their mutual purposes vey well. Morally, there may be little to pick between all the clubs in a financial sense (mercifully, there's plenty in other ways). The disparity in power however, means that the big two committed bigger offences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edi1011 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 There is no way that mcoist had an ebt, with the number of leaks that have already happened then this would have became public, you asked them for proof, they have none, its simply another tic wet dream So you know categorically that Fat Sally and Sir Watties Myth never had an EBT ? Funny how the list that the BBC were given access to only covered past employees - one would think that it was a reasonable assumption to make that it was more that likely that their main striker/leg-end/all round good guy and manager would be subject to the same T&C that had applied to the vast majority of playing staff during the 10 or so years that RFC2012 are being investigated about ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngsy Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Quick question for rangers fans. Of everything goes pear shaped for your club with the whole can of worms that's been opened and if your club does really cease to exist what team will you support ? Partick Thistle. WAPT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
