forlanssister 3,059 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It'll be interesting to hear McCoist's take on this because at first glance it looks like total capitulation on everything, which is very disappointing. From official site. ALLY McCOIST has spoken passionately about the incredible saga over Rangers becoming members of the SFA. The manager is almost at the end of his tether after slamming the handling of the whole situation and criticising the leadership of Scottish football. He said: He said: "48 hours from now, we are supposed to start the season with a game at Brechin and, as I sit here today, I don't know exactly what our status in the game is, where our players, that we have, should be registered - and what the future holds for us going into next week. "It's a ludicrous situation - and I owe it to our fans - to make my views known on it. "No one is denying that Rangers were badly mismanaged for 10 months. Nor are we disputing that we should be punished for that. We have been. We accept that punishment and want to start putting the past behind us and move forward. "But that is not being allowed to happen - and I have to ask myself why? "In recent days, I have been in a number of meetings with Stewart Regan, Rod Petrie and other senior SFA figures - and despair at the lack of leadership shown. "In my years in professional football, I have not always agreed with everything the SFA did or said. But, no matter what you thought of their decisions, there was no doubt they ran the game firmly and robustly. "I can only imagine Ernie Walker looking down on us now and shaking his head in disbelief at the sad state of affairs and the way they have been mishandled. "As for the SPL, they seem determined to pursue as hostile an agenda as possible towards Rangers. "They kicked us out of the SPL - which was their right- and we acknowledge that - but that doesn't seem enough for Neil Doncaster and some of his board. "Not only as they withholding our SPL prize money for last season - they won't tell us how much it is but we reckon it to be about £1.3million. "And having said they don't want us - they do want a bigger share of the TV money that our presence will bring to the SFL and its clubs. Never mind sporting integrity - where is the moral integrity there? "And there is no line to be drawn in the sand. Rangers have not been punished enough in their eyes and along with one or two people who have a vested interest within SPL clubs, our right to past titles will be challenged. They want what we and our fans bring, yet seem determined to strip us of every bit of our dignity. It has to stop. "Sadly, only one Scottish football body has offered us any help or assistance - the SFL and I would like to thank David Longmuir, Jim Ballantyne and 29 of their 30 member clubs for inviting us into the SFL. "We are grateful for the opportunity. We are looking forward to the challenges ahead, making new friends in the months ahead and having a positive impact on the SFL. "It is now over five months since Rangers went into administration. It is time to start playing football again - and I am not alone in thinking this. "In recent days I have bumped into Celtic, Hearts and Motherwell fans, and they were saying the same thing - "It's time to stop kicking Rangers and start getting Scottish football looking forward not back". 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surrender of five titles is the price we have to pay so Green can fill his pockets. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and GS can keep this going but most on here just want to get back to football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bluenose80 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 if they knew they would get nowhere they would have agreed to drop it. You seem to be forgetting who is behind all this. Celtic never give up no matter how wrong they are and if they had something they would have played that card by now they are bluffing in the hope we fold and give them what they want and today's statement was quite clear we will fight them all the way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really expect them to drop the whole thing!? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
