ian1964 10,411 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 STEWART Milne has admitted he would be happy to see Rangers back up in the Premiership next season. The Dons chairman would also be delighted if Hibs gained promotion with the Gers from the Championship. “We want to have all of the top clubs up in the Premiership,” said Milne. “If Rangers come up with the right approach – and everyone allows them to put what happened in the past behind them – it would be good for the game. “It would be fantastic if Hibs were able to get back up to the Premiership this season as well. “When you look back over the last five to six years we have come through some horrendous times economically. “Some of our top clubs not being in the top division for a substantial part of that period didn’t help. “We are bringing less money into the game through media deals than we were back in 2007. “The Sky contract was renegotiated when we lost Rangers because they were part of the deal. “We could no longer fulfil our agreement with them so money was pulled back. “What we have to do now is find ways of bringing more money back into the game. “Having Rangers and Hibs back at the top level again would help.” https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/aberdeen-fc/milne-keen-to-see-gers-and-hibs-in-top-division2/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Where to start with this sheepie nonsense........ He and nine other SPL chairmen took a decision to vote Rangers out the SPL in 2012 presumably for the now infamous 'sporting integrity' presumably due to insolvency as they saw it. I've often maintained they believed that insolvency was caused by debts most notably the BTC. Now it transpires that insolvency may have been deliberately caused in order to perpetrate a fraud allowing a number of individuals to acquire Rangers & its assets at a value way below its true market value.Hence the impending trials awaiting these individuals. And if these persons are convicted is there a chance Milne & his nine cohorts may face financial damages from oldco shareholders? Remember the then KIllie chairman Michael Johnson stating this was the reason KIllie abstained in the vote. If this is some sort of olive branch to the current Rangers board it must be rejected as it should also be rejected if it is intended to save Dundee Hibz from relegation. He's never before stated he wanted us back AFAIK. Milne, Thompson and their leader-in-chief Liewell must be brought to account for that decision they took whatever it takes.

26th of foot 5,829 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Milne and other SPL Chairman took the path of least resistance, they empowered their supporters to vote on Rangers future. The "right approach" is to take every opportunity without exception, to inform Milne and chums; to take their new enlightenment, and work it up their collective bahookies. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The other thing to remember here is that the SKY TV deal LIewell & Dumbcaster signed back in 2012 must be nearing its completion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
