BrahimHemdani 1 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) I honestly don't care what you call it but going to the sfa and bleeding that we aren't liquidated yet will not impress anyone. I do think we have an arguable case on some aspects of this e.g. prize money, TV money; but not the transfer fees that were due because the Clubs can't be expect to pay back newco if oldco doesn't have the money to pay. Apart from anything else it was the RIGHT thing to do. Technically, yes, it was an oldco debt; but if we say we are the same CLUB, then from a purely football perspective, those debts had to be paid for our own self esteem. We don't have a case against HMRC, the SFA or the SPL per se; because they will all say that they based their decisons on the facts that were apparent at the time. The fact that the decision in the BTC and on the EBT's have gone our way subsequently doesn't change any of that. However, the 5-way agreement is another matter and I do think we have a case for a certain amount of compensation and if handled correctly I think we might just get something. Threatening court action at this point won't achieve anything. Edited July 15, 2014 by BrahimHemdani Incorrect (')!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I doubt it. Ally and other Rangers men at the Club were the ones who put there foot down on the title stripping nonsense. Green & co weren't even prepared to pay the legal costs of the fight with the SPL and the RFFF had to pay them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know our support accept any old shite flung at them but i dob't think Green would have got away with that one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
