RANGERRAB

We're seriously short in certain positions, there's no doubt about that

Or what SKY & various other sponsors say also. Listening to Liewell last summer is going to be a very costly mistake once the bills start coming thro' the clubs letterboxes post-Rangers SPL.

This is where the people running the club need to get tough and publicly demand the SFA do something about this. Sitting back and hoping something happens will not work. We need to be seen to be actively going after this type of parasite on a regular basis. We've been an easy touch for far too long and CG & Co must change this.

I see civil war ahead in Scottish Football if CG sticks to his guns & refuses to sign next season's SKY contract. They need us as part of that contract in order for it to be of any real commercial worth to SKY who are a subscription service (not a national broadcaster) who are dependent on viewers subscribing to their programmes

what was his role m8 ? not heard of his involvement before Anyone heard how the police investigation is progressing (if at all) ? seems to be very quiet

Don't worry I'm sure that SFA Compliance Officer Vincent Lunny will sort this out . He will won't he?

wonder how long strachan will last? couple of bad results & he'll jump ship IMO

we'll need to wait & see the official attendance from the seville calculator

he was but I don't think he was a direct employee of LBG. Do you think fullerton & kane had nothing to do with Whyte getting control ?

fullerton & kane had nothing to do with it then ? certainly benefited their team when Whyte got control

Whyte used company's assets (future season ticket sales) to purchase the company. This is against company law. Can't believe Muir & Grier didn't know this

Remember it was killie who abstained in the SPL vote to boot us out last summer. Their chairman Michael Johnston(a solicitor) advised the others that by voting us out they could be breaking company law by deliberately taking a decision which would have an adverse financial effect on their businesses.

presume he meant new company running same club. CG's consortium bought the assets i.e. club, players, stadium & training ground and transferred them from oldco to newco after CVA was refused by HMRC (which it shouldn't have been as we now know as they weren't largest creditor after we won the FTTT)

If Scottish Football implodes they'll be dragged down too. Players won't want to come & play for them in a worsening SPL (or whatever it'll be called). Something has to happen. Things can't go on as they are that's for sure

I believe I'm correct in saying SKY haven't booked their full quota of SPL games they're entitled to show this season. ESPN likewise. Don't see that lasting too much longer. Something will change I'm sure even if it's reduced terms

I agree it was a bad error but we have to move on........................ He must look back himself & know he made a massive mistake in that interview. But as I say other clubs went through the same as we did & kept their history. Why would we be different?

I think CG made an error making the statement about losing history. Remember Leeds Utd, Middleborough, Fulham, Fiorentina, Napoli etc all kept their history. Why are we different? HMRC specifically said at the time the club would be 'sold' and continue to play at Ibrox (no mention of new club) UEFA, ECA, SFA, SFL all recognise Rangers as the same club. The only ones who don't in this poisonous little country of ours ? Well Charles had a description of them didn't he ? A description they took great offence to as one might have expected of them due to their upbringings.

he's not had a great time with injuries since he left but I'd certainly take him back. Don't know about wages though. I'd imagine he's on decent money at present but how much he'd be prepared to drop might be an issue although he isn't exactly in a strong bargaining position.

the one thing we might have on our side is the SKY TV deal(& other sponsors too). Scottish football simply can't do without these unless teams want to revert to part time & maybe amateur status. If CG refuses to sign the SKY deal for next season then maybe ( just maybe) some of the braindead chairman might turn against the authorities & demand proper change within the game in this country starting with the removal of the individuals who have got us to where we now are. You saw Houston giving his reasons for leaving Dundee Utd at the end of season. Don't tell me they're the only club feeling the pinch. I also think Traynor was recruited by CG because he has dirt to throw at the SFA in the way of evidence that they knew Whyte wasn't paying PAYE/NI and took absolutely no action. If that happens then who knows what might happen once it's revealed who knew what and when.

I actually enjoy watching the liewell-regan SFA 's scotland team getting gubbed. They don't dare get up to their dirty tricks with UEFA or FIFA where they don't rule the roost so to speak.

these people yearn to rule everywhere in this country. The only place they know they'll never gain control of is Rangers Football Club hence their hatred. But you're correct apathy has largely let them into their positions of power and once they get in they look after themselves & their own people first & foremost

nothing surprises me any more. The SPL - SFA - Harper McLeod is like one cosy little conspiring organisation working together to an agenda to benefit them and hinder us. Throw in the contribution from the mhedia, certain politicians and a handful of individuals inthe scottish legal profession in this country and you see what we're up against. How we overcome this I have to say is one hell of a challenge.

I'd heard this too. If true & Traynor can prove it then in any normal situation Regan's position should be untenable.
