caseyjones 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Rangers suggested a Scottish Cup ban at the initial hearing. I suspect that's what will now be given - perhaps plus a nominal fine for going to the law courts. Once again the SFA and Regan have shown themselves to be not fit for purpose. They acted unlawfully yet the BBC in particular want to suggest RFC are again at fault. The SC ban apparently wasn't deemed to be enough punishment given the gravity of the breach. Even if it was used, that would scupper the CVA, something which eould suit at least one party. The SFA still have the option of appealing yesterday's ruling which could throw another spanner in the works. It's a farcical situation. Now for the SPL! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I've read that being banned from the Scottish cup will effect a CVA being accepted as we need to be in all competitions? How true or false is this? It's in the CVA proposal, Frank. 4.22.6 maybe? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,186 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 FWIW, I don't think a Scottish Cup ban would scupper the CVA. I know it's in the conditions but I'd fancy only an SPL ban would do that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Rangers have accepted their guilt, they were arguing that that specific sanction wasn't available to the JP and the judge agreed. There won't now be more punishment, just one that is permitted, which is what the judge also said. They have a list of sanctions to choose from if they thought we deserved a fine but didn't deserve the ban or expulsion then the fine is all that's left to them. It's their rules and they made it up on the fly because of the screaming for punishment. They then can't go back and say well on second thoughts you do deserve a ban because we are too stupid to implement our own rules. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Laymens terms, is it a "law of the land" or is it part of CG contract with admin therefor can be brushed aside if he wants? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how he wants to buy the club, if he can! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is a "good guy" then i'd hope he'll remove that clause if we do get stung 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
