Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!

We'll have to agree to disagree on this but my gut tells me more Rangers fans would prefer the 'balanced budget' approach to the'management by cheque book' boom and bust of the past.

Fair enough. How big an increase in ticket and season ticket prices is your gut telling you Rangers fans would be prepared to pay to balance the budget?

I am, of course, a Rangers' supporting, Tory-voting Unionist who thinks that The Reformation was an altogether good thing.

I am also perfectly happy that none of those views need inform any of the other and live with them as comfortably independent opinions.

And yet you've connected them, perfectly explicitly, in the past.

Did Scottish FA break own rules during process of granting new Rangers chairman Dave King fit-and-proper status?
Rangers chairman Dave King was awarded fit-and-proper status this week
Eight members of the SFA board made the final decision on Tuesday
Sportsmail has learned of surprise and concern among members of the 11-man Professional Game Board over their exclusion from decision

The Scottish FA were last night facing fresh questions over the process which ended in Dave King being granted fit-and-proper status.

The new Rangers chairman was given the green light on Tuesday by the eight-man full SFA board following a protracted debate over his South African tax convictions and his presence on the Ibrox board when the club suffered an insolvency event in 2012.

Sportsmail has learned, however, of surprise and concern among some members of the SFA’s 11-man Professional Game Board over their exclusion from the final discussion and decision on the matter.

The PGB last met three weeks ago, on April 30, when they granted interim Rangers chairman Paul Murray the all-clear on his own fit-and-proper status. In the aftermath of the Murray vote, PGB members expected to be summoned for a final King ruling.

This week’s SFA statement confirmed, however, that the decision over the South African businessman was actually taken only by the eight-man SFA board despite SFA Board Protocols section 3.15 (iv) stating that responsibility for ‘approving persons to hold position within Association Football’ lies with the PGB.

In exceptional circumstances article 64.1 of the SFA rulebook says the full Board: ‘shall at any time be entitled to exercise its powers in relation to areas of responsibility... like matters considered and determined by the Professional Game Board.’

However Sportsmail understands that, after ruling on Murray, members of the PGB now want clarification on why they were excluded from voting on King.

The current PGB consists of Rod Petrie (Hibs), Neil Doncaster (SPFL), Ralph Topping (SPFL), Peter Lawwell (Celtic), Duncan Fraser (Aberdeen), Mike Mulraney (Alloa), Sandy Stables (Highland League), Andrew Waddell (Lowland League), Stewart Regan (SFA chief executive), Campbell Ogilvie (SFA President) and Alan McRae (first vice-president of the SFA).
The main SFA board consists of Regan, Ogilvie, McRae, Petrie, Barrie Jackson, the independent non-executive director, Peter Lawwell, Ralph Topping and Tom Johnston of the Junior FA.

The SFA are facing fresh questions over the process that led to fit-and-proper status being awarded
The statement confirming King had been given the green light referred only to the ‘Board of the Scottish FA’ with the key passage reading: ‘Having considered all submissions received from Mr King and the club in respect of this matter the Scottish FA Board granted an approval, conditional upon further submissions from Mr King in respect of documented agreements with the appropriate authorities in South Africa.’

In contrast Murray was passed by the PGB, a statement last month confirming: ‘The Scottish FA can confirm at a meeting of the Professional Game Board (PGB) on Thursday, 30th April, consideration was given to the fit and proper status of Mr Paul Murray as a director of Rangers Football Club.

‘Having considered the documentation provided and taking into account Mr Murray’ s detailed personal submission before it, the PGB is satisfied that Mr Murray is fit and proper in terms of Article 10.2.’
There is no suggestion of wrongdoing on the part of Rangers or Dave King.

What about romanov...

What about di Stefano ( who held shares in the dead club)

Wait, aren't these the precedent for the fit and proper??

Point utterly missed by the blogger.

Its all hatred with the idiotic contingent.

Sometimes you wonder if they really know what's going on outside their own wee world

poor rangers everyone hates them and they care. But honestly who are these people that hate such a fine company/club. ?

Whether you support Hearts, Celt*c or Queen of the South, I couldn't give 2 fucks about your clubs finances, ownership, price of your pies or your starting eleven. I will never understand the mental obsession about Rangers on this board.
