Even if they were to do a 14 team SPL (which would be chaotic if they tried) they would be screwing over the SFL who would need to admit a new team to play in Div 3 (I'd presume!) with a weeks notice! Crazy!

Crazy BUT filled with sporting integrity - surely it's time this phrase was re-defined?!

And they have abused this victim enough that we have to accept this if we want to survive. Makes me sick. Ask decisions have had timescales manipulated to have maximum detriment to the rangers! The only group to have acted timely are the sfl!

Really? This is almost one of those things that is so bizarre that it being true might be the best explanation! Well of duff and Phelps actions at least...

Maybe the rule will be dock Rangers ten points for every time any team goes into administration... That maintains the sporting integrity and equality in the league after all!

Showing the respect, dignity, honesty and transparency that was sorely lacking from the other players who have "left". Thanks for going about this in this manner.

At the very least, this is very entertaining!!

Aye, but surely the players were away that this was the whole point of the deal?! to transfer the football assets: Murray Park, Ibrox, the players and the history...?

Surely they won't? [*block this*] if looking out for members, would be better to let the div 3 then 2 then 1 teams benefit from what we have to offer them (finance/prestige etc) rather than denying us because of the SPL clubs? (Who could have taken us in and punished us purely for the insolvency issue created by a fraudster)

Funny how quiet the SPL chairmen and fans have been this last week!

He just needs to go. Today preferably.

12 months too late for us I'm afraid

Surprised they were ok with the full nine men, I mean look what happened vs St mirren!!

or maybe he's demonstrating this mythical "transparency" people are desperate for?

He seems to think that Rangers are still registered as a member of the FA from the bygone days of yore, and as such could apply to join the English leagues and he reckons there would be money in that.

Seems a little far fetched and a bit disruptive when we are trying to move forward in Scotland, but interesting reading nonetheless!

My interpretation is that the punishment we were given was not within the SFA rule book. Therefore the ruling was not against the law of the land - but against the membership rules. If we agree to accept (which I don't think we should) the original punishment, we are not breaking any legal laws (other than perhaps contempt of court?) and are just accepting a private punishment (even though it is not in the membership rule book), which is not illegal.

To confuse matters, I believe there is uncertainty on the legality of a transfer embargo regarding the freedom of employment rules... So perhaps the transfer embargo is illegal, but this cannot be argued after the court ruling on the membership rules and punishments available under these rules.

They should start with why it has taken so long to get a decision on the "big tax case". I have no doubts that if that uncertainty was removed, then all this mess (although potentially with major downsizing...) would have been avoided.

Thought Monty was the best golfer never to win a major? Other than that Monty, I have no clue why this is a person I should know/trust? Mind you, I think we are on a path now, and I think it's get behind the club (and Green) or cause even more uncertainty!

Surprised this was stated on a podcast, but hasn't made it into print? Anyone know what is going on with this story?

That just sounds scary...

Bury Rangers - I think that will please the rest of Scottish football, what they have all been trying to do for the past four months anyway...

Who is the newspaperman that JT is having a dig at at the end of this piece? I have not watched the documentary, but would assume it would be Speirs as he is the go to hate-on-all-things-Rangers and claims to be a journalist despite his only talent being that he memorized a thesaurus. Unfortunately no-one told him how you are meant to use it...

Would prefer not to.

Will it cause problems to know the identity of the mystery group if, as is being reported, the Green consortium has in won the bid for the rangers? Part of me feels it's not worth lingering on what could have been, and just support the club, but I am very intrigued!!

How can we react to this latest persecution from the SFA? How can we as a club respond to this?

A suggestion?

Whittaker

Naismith

McCabe

Hutton

Ness

McGregor

Davis

all others that would be eligible and interesting to Stuart Pearce in his Team GB selection, sign up now! Possibly get behind UEFA and help get rid of the SFA as they fear this might happen with the olympic team. Maybe it is sour grapes, but what have Rangers got to lose?

are they as administrators, not allowed to issue to new shares such that whyte's shares get watered down to nothing? These would be sold to the winning bidder? Too simple?

FINALLY someone agrees with me on it. It's like your the mad cat-bin lady if you say anything about Saint John ffs.

don't let that put you off the Beatles though. As people dodgy, as musicians magicians!

Does anyone know how much Rapid are due for the Jelavic transfer? I thought that had mostly been paid? I mean this is from 2 years ago now...

just read this. Sounds like the SPL/Celtic are trying to throw the book at us for having an accusation (despite no legal obligation - yet) of a debt. Don't think it will change the BK's but may effect the American bid?

Typical though. I read an article this morning that said "in the next 48 hours", and I thought, well that's it jinxed!! oh well...

"I'm from the old school of thinking, where you don't conduct your business in public. My mission will be accomplished when another young boy watches Rangers lift a European trophy."

Making the right noises, this would be my dream too!
