North Rd 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 They have got it wrong. Remember it was stated they can't add sanctions to a Newco They either vote Yes or No They can't add anything. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeeBlueDevil 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) They have got it wrong. Remember it was stated they can't add sanctions to a Newco They either vote Yes or No They can't add anything. I read that somewhere a few days ago, was going to mention it today in another thread but could not find the link to back it up . Maybe you could help me with that Edited June 18, 2012 by TheWeeBlueDevil 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 sanctions for a newco are on an adhoc basis. they can't fine the newco for ebts but they can remove titles from the oldco. so far as I can make out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/4340520/SPL-may-let-newco-avoid-rap.html#ixzz1yBDzrpYN yes but that's an old article. they had the meeting and agreed ad hoc punishments for each newco individually. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,263 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The point is that whether this is as "legal" as the SFA embargo was? They have rules and guidelines to obey, much like the SFA has. If they have no such stuff for a newco, bad for them. They should whip them up and pass them. (Though I have no doubt that they manage that in no-time.) Stripping titles ... would mean that they have hard evidence on any miissuse of the EBTs and if they found something, it should be reported and laid bare in an legally sound way. Have they the powers of stripping a team of titles? If so, where does it start or end? With a single player who played 5 games and getting naughty 30k and thus had next to no influence, or large scale misuse? Can the SPL actually strip us of titles when the SFA should be the body investigating? For once, again, I can see them working neatly hand in hand though. In any case, we should challenge any claim for missuse and check out whether this is actually true. Obviously, we would know (or rather, someone would knew), but then again, this EBT use is muddied water anyways. And while we are at it, no matter whether the Scum paid for their own EBTs, having them running fullfills the same legal problem for the SPL/SFA that we now encounter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) I don't believe it has much to do with football now. It has more to do with the kind of country Scotland has become. Their dislike of us as a support, and what Rangers means to a certain section of the population. You can hear and see the enjoyment when folk talk about punishments.

der Berliner 3,263 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The point is who does the talking. Most idots they ask are those who hated us before. Whether they represent the large percentage of their support or any objective meaning is another matter. As of punishments, I would assume they'll have to be wary in what they do for what "crime". 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
