SFA/Lord Nimmo Smith Investigation


Recommended Posts

More posturing on 'Rangers are a disgrace' no doubt. If their investigation comes back as 'Whyte is NOT a fit & proper person' (i say IF with a LOL) then surely that is partly their fault and they should invesitgate themselves :D

Out of interest, why obviously not you (or did I miss that part of the joke)?

 

I joined the Royal Navy at 16 mate, that was 21 years ago. I've probably spent 3/4 years in the UK since then all spread out over those 21 years. I've never had the chance. My old man is in it and went through his degrees at Mosspark with Davie Provan of all people. My Uncle was the Grand Master (that's the "Boss" right?) in Troon, and naturally a few mates are heavily into it including a mate from Troon who was a Grand master and up around the "33 club" by the time he was 28.

 

There is a Lodge in Pattaya, Thailand where i lived for 6 years, unfortunately it's reputation is in the gutter here so i won't go near it.

 

For the record i wasn't having a go at the Masons as i do find it fascinating and have read a lot of books on it and like what i read, i know it's a good thing and does a lot of good behind the scenes for people and charity. I know you guys will tell me "don't believe what the books say" and i don't but they must get some of it right.....rite? :D

Stewart Regan, the Scottish FA Chief Executive, reveals that the findings of the Independent Inquiry into Rangers FC have been heard at a Special Board Meeting at Hampden Park today and will now be referred to the Judicial Panel.

 

“I can confirm that the Scottish FA convened a Special Board Meeting at Hampden Park today to discuss the findings of the Independent Inquiry into Rangers FC, prepared by the Chair, The Right Honourable Lord William Nimmo Smith.

 

Principally, it is the belief of the Board, taking into account the prima facie evidence presented today, that Mr Craig Whyte is not considered to be a Fit and Proper person to hold a position within Association Football.

We will be writing to Mr Whyte in relation to those findings and shall seek a response within seven days.

The report submitted by Lord Nimmo Smith, having been considered fully by the Board, highlights a number of other potential rule breaches by the club and its owner. The report will now be used as evidence and forwarded to a Judicial Panel for consideration and determination as per the protocol.

As such, the report’s contents will not be published at this time. Nevertheless, I can confirm that the club is facing a charge of bringing the game into disrepute. Specifically, areas of potential breach to be considered by the Judicial Panel include:

· Obligations and duties of members

· Official return

· Financial records

· Division of receipts and payment of expenses(Scottish Cup)

I would like to clarify the situation relating to possible non-disclosure of payments to players, and in particular the Employee Benefit Trust. Having noted the Scottish Premier League’s intention to investigate this matter, the Board has decided to allow the SPL to complete this process, given our potential status as the appellate body. We retain our position until such time as the SPL’s investigation is concluded.

Finally, we have sent a letter to the Rangers administrators, Duff and Phelps, advising them that failure to pay monies owed to another member constitutes a breach of the Cup Competition Rules. Consequently, the club faces disciplinary action unless they make payments due to Dundee United from their recent William Hill Scottish Cup tie. A Notice of Complaint has been issued to that effect.”

The question on all our lips is,"Why didn't you carry out the fit and proper person test when CW appeared on the scene"?

 

Exactly I thought they had to 'check' everyone before they take over a club?

I'm RAGING!

 

It's all POTENTIAL breach yet they can tell us the charges and make us the scourge of Scottish football yet again. The only good thing that may come out of this is the complete eradication of Whyte from Rangers.

 

Potential breaches does NOT MEAN we have done anything wrong! The SFA should go fuck themselves. They're a fucking disgrace.

 

*rage over*
