I genuinely wonder if today's verdict was the one Liewell DIDN'T want.
Had BDO/us(!) won then he could have passed it off as favouritism from the 'establishment' towards us. And there could have been no prospect therefore of title-stripping, trophies removed etc,
Now though the slabbering, Rangers-hating hordes are restless and are demanding all sorts of actions which are totally undeliverable. What they overlook, as has been pointed out today more than once, is that HMRC never called these EBT schemes tax evasion, which is illegal.
I suspect that was the thinking behind the SFA's carefully worded statement this afternoon.
Now though will the hordes now turn on Liewell, Dumbaster and all the rest of our detractors ? Leading these people to believe removing of titles & trophies was a feasible outcome may come back to haunt them with a vengeance.
maybe the tide has turned today, the day after our worst ever result for two reason: firstly we are rid off SDM and secondly are we about to witness an implosion as the hordes begin to realise they've been conned ?
