Tannochsidebear 2,322 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 To the OP that says he doesnt speak for him - Murray makes that quite clear when he says that the fans have nothing to apologise for, unless you want to read into it that he is apologising for the fans. He quite clearly lays the blame at our previous owners (both of them) but acknowledges that the snowball effect of us being defrauded as a club by those two and the LBG between them has meant that all clubs are going to suffer, and he is sorry for that. I also agree that it looks too much like the stories in the papers today have some credence, and I have major difficulty in accepting the other sanctions which really affect our competitive ability but strengthen our rivals at the same time by saving the tv and commercial deals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the rest of Scotland are concerned, we and Rangers are one and the same. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 He made a huge point of saying we as fans had done nothing wrong, nor Ally McCoist and the players. What's the problem? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbernauldGers 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 To the op, was it Rangers that did not pay tax and debts and go into admin? Or was it other spl teams? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 To the op, was it Rangers that did not pay tax and debts and go into admin? Or was it other spl teams? The answer is both. No apology came from Motherwell, Livingstone, or Dundee when they went into admin. Hearts have not apologised for not paying players' wages last season or for their financial situation which is hardly fair play to the rest of the league. Celtic, Hibs and Dunfermline have previously been mismanaged and close to closure but no apology. Aberdeen didn't apologise for avoiding relegation when sporting integrity would have put them down. Celtic haven't apologised for the O'Donnell, Burns, Japan tour cheating nor for bringing the game into disrepute by causing a referee strike or the multiple offences against society which brought the game into disrepute like the Bloo stained poppy banner etc. Dundee Utd haven't apologised for "financial doping" for charging away fans twice for the same game. Where do we stop? Or is it just Rangers who have to apologise? How about the SFA apologising to us for allowing someone improper to take over our club even though they were warned? Or how about breaking their own rules to invent a punishment which doesn't exist? Doesn't that bring the game into disrepute? Where is their punishment? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what would the fans have said at the time if somebody was stopped from taking over the club? Which the sfa cant even do. Total and utter denial from some of our fans. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,345 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 If we're in SPL next season (O'Regan says we won't) then Green must insist on there being no points deduction or transfer embargo. We have a strong bargaining position. Clubs now realise the financial implications of no Rangers in SPL. PLEASE NOTE THIS MR GREEN 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
