The proposed SFA rule change, that clubs must conduct an investigation into prospective new owners, went through unopposed at the Association’s AGM, currently underway at Hampden. No formal rules must be observed during this investigation, not even the ‘Gandhi criminal rule’ postulated by (still) SPL chief executive, Neil Doncaster, so a club can look into the matter as deeply as they see appropriate and the former owner can claim he was “duped” after the money appears in his bank account.
This does not strengthen efforts to keep unfit people from owning Scottish clubs, if anything, it provides errant clubs with a defence. Previously it was explicitly the club’s responsibility to ensure owners were fit and proper, now the club’s responsibility is limited to carrying out an unspecified value judgement. Tune in soon to hear “We carried out an investigation consistent with best practice, why punish us?”
In this instance, value judgements are worth as much as Ibrox valuations. It’s not the rules that are wrong, the only problem is one club didn’t respect the rules and doesn’t like the medicine.
No mention yet of the dark Fifa cloud hanging over the Association. Perhaps it’s slipped their mind.

3rd qualifying round first leg 31st July/1st August, second leg 7th/8th August
Out of all the players and figures in rangers history Green picks David Cooper for Murray Parks new name.
Hilarious!

Cheers lads do you happen to know when the draw will be made?
Is the residential area across the road not called Fairways?
Makes sense to me… Geographically and ironically.

Let me pose a question .
The CVA proposed by Green contains a clause
4.22.6 all consents or other requirements of the SPL and SFA having been obtained or complied with so that Rangers Football Club can continue to participate in such domestic leagues and competitions as it currently participates in.
This is a condition of the CVA. Should Rangers not be eligible to continue to play in the SPL, the Scottish Cup or the League Cup, then Green does not have to honour any vote which accepts his offer
Which raises the issue of why someone from Rangers was allegedly negotiating with the SFA to accept a 1 year Cup ban as an alternative to the 1 year signing ban . Had the SFA accepted this offer, and should it be imposed, then the CVA automatically fails.
Many have said from the outset a CVA was not viable, however for political reasons an attempt would be made.
It seems that the deception isn’t that sophisticated.
Hmmmmmmmm ……….

The day after the school Trip to a farm, the teacher asked the children, “what sounds did you hear on the farm”.
One wee girl stuck up her hand and said, ” moooo”.
“Very good”,said the teacher.
Another wee girl said, “baaaa.”
“Very good, too” said teacher.
“Anyone else?”, she asked.
Wee guy at the back shouts,
” get aff the feckin’ tractor”.

Who are we kidding lads, these bassas will be here next year and the year after that, playing away in the SPL like nothing happened. Sorry but that is the way I see it going now. That bunch of scum entitled SFA/SPL will ensure it is so.
