ian1964 10,416 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 September 17, 2012 · by billmcmurdo · in Uncategorized Ian Black will be thinking himself a fortunate man this morning, if newspaper reports are accurate concerning his old club. If the midfielder had not signed for Rangers during the summer, he may well be digging out his painterâ??s overalls today as news of yet another salary fail comes out of Tynecastle. Apparently up to five senior players have been told to expect their wages NOT to be in the bank this morning and this could spark another conflagration with the SPL over non-payment of players. However, the murky tale actually gets murkier because Hearts claim they canâ??t players due to being owed money by the SPL. The SPL canâ??t pay Hearts monies due because they are short of cash. Itâ??s a sorry state of affairs but I am quite sure that there will be zero sympathy for Hearts and the Suspended Payments League from Rangers Football Club and its fans. In fact the SPLâ??s insistence on persecuting Rangers over EBTs looks even more like a kangaroo court with a sinister agenda when you look at the big picture. In a nutshell, the SPL clubs are struggling and the SPL itself is practically insolvent so where can they get money from? Surely not by fining Rangers a whopping fine to line their own greedy purses with? The simple, brutal reality that everyone in Scottish football knows â?? but the Scottish media is too cowardly or bigoted to say â?? is that Scottish football runs on Rangersâ?? money i.e the money that Rangers generate in the game. This makes the petty jealousies and vile bigotry of their agenda towards Rangers so disgusting â?? they hate the club so much that they will frenziedly bite the hand that feeds them. Of course, they have met their match in Charles Green. He has seen through the SPL and its clutch of dodgy dealers and they know he has. He has correctly identified their bitterly prejudiced program to milk Rangers at the same time as beating the club down and he is having none of it. He also has powerful allies backing him. But the head-on clash between Rangers and the vampire bloodsuckers of the SPL will probably never happen. For one simple reason. The SPL is dying. Somebody needs to put it out of its misery. And, quite frankly, it is all very satisfying for thousands of Rangers fans who have seen the SPL savagely kick their club at its lowest point in history. What is remarkable is that people are having a go at Rangers supporters for taking pleasure in the SPLâ??s misfortune â?? are these supporters supposed to ignore the massive ill-will shown to Rangers by the SPL and its members? We are going from the ridiculous to the comedic now in Scottish football. Hearts canâ??t pay their players because the SPL owes them money. What next? The SPL fine Hearts for non-payment of playersâ?? wages? And Hearts will reply, â??Weâ??ll pay you the fine when you pay us what youâ??re owe us.â? You couldnâ??t make this grubby little story of greedy little people up. You donâ??t have to. Itâ??s for real. Of course, the collapse of the SPL could herald a new age of truthfulness and honesty in the media here in Scotland. Freed from the trappings of pretence and the illusion that they have an interest in Scottish football, sports broadcasters could rename their shows much more in line with their real purpose: Super Rangers-Hating Saturday followed by Rangers-Hating Phone-In â??If you used to follow an SPL club and you hate Rangers with a passion, call in and vent your bile!â? Iâ??ll bet readers of this blog could name a few pundits who would love to host these shows! http://billmcmurdo.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/suspended-payments-league/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
