RANGERRAB

Just hope we've not volunteerd for anything else. I think this embargo isn't as bad as might have been as I said on others posts. Remember SEP01 2013 is on a sunday next year so the transfer window probably won't close til Monday SEP02 or the day after. In saying that though we'd need to get our act together next summer regards signing players...........

IMO there'll be serious league reconstruction next summer(not to mention serious panic stations over the SPL SKY TV deal which may or may not exist by then). The worst we'll find ourselves in IMO is one division below SPL (if it's still called that by then) That's why it's important we make good signings over these next 6 weeks. Preferably players in the under 25 age bracket.

think about this for a minute................. we can sign anyone in next 6 weeks. we can't sign anyone in Jan 2013. we can't sign anyone until Aug31 2013. BUT Who's to say we couldn't get a few Bosmans to train with us next summer (and maybe play them as trialists in friendlies) and sign them on SEP1 next year ?

Has anyone else heard rumour SKY are quitting SPL altogether ? how many SPL clubs would that mean going into administration !!!!! and have the SPL considered the scenario where SPL clubs won't be able to complete their fixtures ?

Green must deliver an exocet to the SFA asap. We need to show these people we mean business. Tell them we don't recognise their kangaroo court and will still claim 54 titles regardless of what they say. Don't worry fellow bears when details of the SPL SKY contract are known on AUG10 they'll all realise their mistake then by putting us in div3. My guess is SKY may wish to leave altogether. And btw what's compliance officer Vincent Lunny going to speak to Ally about ? apparently you can chase a referee on the pitch at hampden or call a referee a criminal and get a slap on the wrist so what's he going to do to Ally then?

Remember an EBT is technically a loan which has to be paid back at a distant date (in reality it never is paid back). It's not an additional contract as such but as I said a loan from the people administering the EBT scheme i.e. the trustees.

Fight the SFA. Fight this embargo

If we accept this illegal signing embargo then they'll come up with something else. Then something else. It will go on and on and on. FFS can we not see it is Liewell who runs the SFA with Regan as his puppet. Green needs to fight fire with fire and start an all out assault on the corrupt SFA. We've been punished enough: 10pt deduction to concede SPL title last season, heavily fined and not to mention demoted to div3. I rest my case

As things stand we won't be playing any football next season. We don't have SFA membership. Talk of TV deals is a farce

so why then attempt to re-impose an already declared illegal signing embargo ? surely if Rangers are killing Scottish football by being in div3 you'd want them up the leagues ASAP ? Is Rhegan actually running the SFA or is he simply carrying out the orders of someone else within it i.e. Liewell ?

time for Richard Keen QC to get his wig on. Back to the Court of Session we go...............

well we take the SFA to court again and again and again til they get it into their thick heads - no more illegal sanctions !!!!

We won't have SFA licence & will struggle for 11 players. Game won't take place

This is Charles Green's first major task as our CEO - the removal of Regan ASAP

Craiggy 1881 - I most certainly do think SKY will have a big say in all of this so yes I do. Don't forget too neither the SFA or SPL want us in div3 Don't forget too the SFA could over-rule the vote on Fri if they think it's not in best interests of Scottish football

Are we ? looks 2 me as if now we're not in SPL they (SFA/SPL/SFL) will be talking to SKY to see how much the contract is if we're in Div1 (with possible promotion to SPL in 1 year) or if div3.

They won't go by choice. Who'll push them ?

If true hopefully Doncaster will follow him.

if Regan is to go then who will it be who will carry out the eagerly-awaited deed? I don't see anyone at the SFA at the moment who is brave enough to show him the door. he's been hopeless as CEO at the SFA as he went from one crisis to another.

As I said in another thread on here these clubs face either survival or 'sporting integrity'. They can't have both. They should do the right thing & contact Charles Green and strike a deal with him to allow Rangers into SPL next season (without transfer embargos & sanctions please) for the good of Scottish football so we can all move on from this sorry episode.

Damn right I'd mind. These titles were won fair & square on the pitch. Timothy's main arguement is we paid undisclosed payments(in the form of EBT's) to players & we couldn't afford this. I have 2 commnts on this:- 1) these payments were in section 6 of Rangers annual accounts every year throughout the EBT years. Did SFA or SPL never think to question this & why are they so alarmed now ? 2) Regards debts many clubs ran up debts last decade. Shellik were no exception. At the end of the O'Neil era shellik had debts of around £30m. So they couldn't afford players too according to what they allege against us A condition to any re-entry to SPL following yesterday's SFL vote must be that this EBT investigation is dropped.No sanctions, transfer embargos too BTW.

'we survived before SKY' Will someone please tell all the numpties running Scottish clubs that the days when clubs could survive on their gate receipts alone ended decades ago. Clubs depend on sponsorships,advertising,TV deals etc to make up the difference between what they require & what they get at the gate. That is why panic is now setting in amongst a number of clubs. Following yesterday's vote it's now either survival or 'sporting integrity' . The SPL clubs have a choice on Monday. If I were one of them I know what my choice would be

If we are in SPL next season then there must be no sanctions etc. This condition must be laid down by Charles Green who now has to play hardball with these people. He has power now and he must use it wisely for our benefit. Rangers in div3 suits nobody despite what some of our supporters say We aren't dealing with normal business people who run SPL clubs. I wonder how many of them realise the implications of yesterday's vote. It's now about survival for almost all of them some of which have eye-watering debt levels for the size of business they are. They may go in administration sooner than they think or need to go part time. Who knows

we'll struggle to get good players for div3. I don't want us there. Sorry
