kuznetsov 0 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 After months of doubt I wouldn't have wanted our club's future to be played in some high risk poker match. Clearly you feel different. i do. we should have fought harder. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 is blackmail legal now? to suggest he couldnt have done it any different is naive. he could have got a better lawyer for a start. Legal action could have taken weeks, not to mention how FIFA don't like court involvement in football. I imagine Ally and the players just wanted to get out on the park and wouldn't have approved of delaying our season or something like that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuznetsov 0 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 You keep using this phrase like there was some sort of evil satisfaction. The judge made that decision when we still were in administration with a football membership and therefore no leverage over us, although it's worth remembering he sent it back to the panel where more fierce punishments like suspension or expulsion were possible and well within their rules. Making sure we got time to sign players meant we were able to build a squad to manage the next 18 months, it was a pretty key point rather than it starting immediately. You call it capitulation, I call it getting us a team on the park while having to accept a few sacrifices. I doubt Ally would have been happy if some high risk poker game saw us have to withdraw from the Brechin game. expulsion was never going to happen. a scottish cup suspension was most likely. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeeBlueDevil 0 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 is blackmail legal now? to suggest he couldnt have done it any different is naive. he could have got a better lawyer for a start. So instead of accepting the membership Green should have went to the cops and told them we were being blackmailed ....Then where would that have left the club ? No membership no football, just a long wait for a trial to take place because the charges would need to be proved in a court of law, and that would take time. We would almost certainly be sitting now with no football to look forward to, just long court cases.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 expulsion was never going to happen. a scottish cup suspension was most likely. That was considered too lenient by the panel before, expulsion too harsh as well but they'd have been under a lot of pressure to move towards the too harsh option after we dragged it through a court and put Scottish Football at some possible risk with FIFA. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 anyone who said administration/liquidation coudl never happen was deluded, knowing how badly our club was run over the last decade. both were always strong possibilities. not being in the spl was always going to be a danger due to financial irregularities and impending penalties. that is what happens. anyone who thought it would be anything higher than the bottom tier is deluded. So all the SPL clubs and their chairmen are deluded ? Regan & Doncaster ?Perhaps you should give them a call as it seems you should have one of their jobs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 i disagree mate. expulsion was never on the cards. Maybe not, however i'm of the opinion i'd not like to have found out. Call it being battle weary if you like, I just wanted to see Rangers playing again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
