RANGERRAB 3,260 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 They say hindsight is 20-20. But, at the time, the media was as bad as the rest of them glorying in the general blood lust. Now the chickens are coming home to roost ... tough shit. Need to remember that at the time we got kicked out the SPL there was a lot of nonsense going around that we were cheats because we had used EBT's and owed £134m.That wasn't the case because the only major debt we had was the tax Whyte never paid HMRC(not counting ticketus as a creditor as they only had 'personal contractual rights' according to Lord Glennie). There's no doubt this nonsense influenced these chairmen and I just wonder when the full stories come out regards LBG's role in Whyte's takeover and who it was who got HMRC to chase Rangers for a fictitious EBT tax bill just where Scottish football will find itself especially if UEFA become involved. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the chickens are coming home to roost ... tough shit. Good point Bossy. Where was Davie and the rest of Celtic-friendly media when the witch hunt was at its peak? Too busy sticking the knives in to worry about the consequences. Sorry Davie but you and your pals made this bed, no use in complaining about it unless you want to lead the campaign to have Rangers straight back into the SPL.... Thought not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca72 440 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Rangers is missing no-one, everyone else is missing Rangers,it will be a long 18 months for them all. The only thing we're missing is the Euro money. That makes us stronger. Win the Scottish Cup and Celtic start to panic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The only thing we're missing is the Euro money. That makes us stronger. Win the Scottish Cup and Celtic start to panic. Winning the Scottish Cup only helps us once three years accounts are in, unless we get special dispensation, which requires the SFA to put forward a case. So winning the cup this year or next doesn't get us into Europe. The earliest we can be in Europe is 2015/16 based on 2014/15 accounts. However, if we win the cup in May 2015, we can't be put forward for Europe without special dispensation, because the 2014/15 accounts won't be out in time. Realistically therefore you are looking at season 2016/17 based on SPL (hopefully) position in our first season back 2015/16 or winning the cup that season. In reality the 3 year ban is 4 full seasons. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 he's also a good commentator or sumariser or whatever it is he does. isn't he a prod which would explain the fair mindedness. One of the main premiership co-commentators/pundits now too. Have never found the guy to be biased against us, folk will find a way to criticise anyone that played for them though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a long, long time before we have a team capable of playing in Europe with these SPIVS in charge!. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
