At some point today those who believed Rangers have, or should have, impunity from the law of the land, as well as the rules and regulations of Scottish football, will awaken to the realisation that this is not the case.
Soon thereafter another thought will arrive: what about the impending Improper Registration of Players charge?
Over a decade of subverting every competition they have played in. Denying clubs who register players correctly the right to compete on a level playing field. Grabbing prize money and the abundant financial rewards of Champions League football rightly due to others – more on this later in the week.
This charge brings every domestic and European competition they played in into disrepute and is several times the magnitude than that which Rangers were punished for yesterday. Then consider bringing the game into disrepute by chasing football bling instead of paying taxes, a separate issue from player registration.
The toxicity of these charges is enormous and if upheld will bring punishments appropriate for corrupting over 700 football games. A whole raft of disciplinary procedures has still to take place. If the misdemeanours of the Craig Whyte era have caused distress, those of the old board, including Ogilvie, Johnston and the Murray twins, will soon establish Rangers current owner as a mere footnote in the club’s demise.
Show of hands, who sat on the board that spent £4m on Jelavic two years after the HMRC investigation into EBTs started?

I thought it very poor that Sone Aluko refused to cough up the cash for Lafferty’s hernia op. Very poor indeed.

Don’t you mean Dangleberry? … :-)
“At some point today………”
Paul67 – is this a hint that something big is about to break as also hinted at by OG Rafferty?
Is it the BTC? Is it the SPL charges?

I think Regan deserves some slack.
The nature of the enquiry he pulled together makes it impossible to argue bias at play.
Check Thomson’s latest blog, I think he has it right on the SFA at this point in time.
On further internal changes PL is on the Professional Game Board and he knows the areas to br tackled and how to go about it.
Been having a problem accessing the comments part of the site on an Android phone, just for the past week or so; was fine before. Problem is that the “replies” bit is hidden under the “share on fb or twitter” bit, and when you click on it nothing happens. Increasing the text size doesn’t help. Anyone else experiencing the same or, better still, have a solution? HH!
This is their fightback:

From my office, if I squint and contort my back I can just about see snake Mountain. With the weather today and the grey black clouds over the southside I can’t see it today.
I love the smell of Liquidation in the afternoon…
I’m gonna assume that Mark Dingbat has zero family??
If that was my da/bro/uncle i’d get onto the old trumix for a pair of concrete wellies for them and march them straight doon the Clyde.
I’d then keep George Parsonage occupied by talking aboot rowing so there is no chance of this walloper being fished oot.
It’s truly hilarious. He’s blaming the SFA now. Waaaaaaaaaaaah.
Not a word about the guy who sold him the club, but the SFA.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

In regard to Jelavic, the point is they never spent £4 Million. They used a pawn ticket and still owe Rapid their money…

Regan as far as I am concerned will prove to be a conduit for change but he cannot stay around he has proven on far too many instances to be out of his depth.
Hail Hail
Curly. Cannae afford one. And, unlike the huns, I live within my means!
Speaking to a couple of the govan teams (busines guys ) supporters on a flight today. Their approach is newco with no penalties or we go to division 3 and bring scottish football down.
I advise them that if that does happen , that would provide Celtic with the opportunity with UEFAs help and support to enter England. This really concerns them.
The taxi driver to the airport this morning is a rangers home and away supporter (he advises he has his ticket for sunday , but other regular attenders have declined ticket offer) is at the end of his tether. The ordinary rank and file rangers supporter has just about given up ; they know liquidation is coming and are just waiting for the axe to fall.
I suspect Celtic will support the Newco reentry with sufficient penalties (unless they have a belief in an escape route ).
With CL money plus £3m additional as the sole scottish entry Celtic do not need the TV deal this season ( or in other seasons if CL entry can be achieved).
I would prefer Celtic to play hardball with the Newco if necessary (including take court action against doncaster / spl ) to delay or prevent newco reentry.
I suspect the reason Doncaster is pushing for newco reentry is that his renumeration package includes a hefty bonuses on delivering a tv deal and league sponsorship.
I hope Celtic are taking a Strategic approach , hold their nerve and take advantage of this situation and finally navigate and exit amongst the collapse of scottish football. Dermot its your call.
I’d like to hear “This could be the last time” by the Rolling Stones on sunday.

I hear you, it appears they have flagged my email as spam after I tried to bid a green American folding dollar for our hero’s shares. Oh well.

Sorry, no. Would have been going with my dad or sister after ousting one of them from their seat.
Auldheid
you are aware that Celtic were fined 200,000 pounds that is 350,000 pounds in todays money for poaching Tommy and Billy from Killie.
I am particularly interested in Newco or this transfer of SPL share
If Regan is involved in defrauding the HMRC .. he has to go do you agree?

The comment by McMillan on national radio should be replayed time and time again.
Nationally.
On every news bulletin,every sports broadcast,on every TV and radio station.
It might bring home to the chattering classes that Neil HAS NEVER brought it all on himself.
It might bring home to them the irrational hatred-which they have helped to foster-which he has had to endure.
No doubt it will be deleted,removed from YOUTUBE for copyright reasons,etc.
And I say the above with due deference to ST STIVS,who knows the fella personally.

Breaching Rule 14 – g Having an Insolvency Event
(RFC found guilty and fined £50k)
The SFA Disciplinary Rule Book States 4 levels of sanction (bear in mind that the section14 has multiple sub-sections of which 14 g is only one and so the 4 sanction approach covers all eventualities of 14:
Sanctions available
Lower end = fine = £1k
Mid-range = fine = £5k
Top end = fine = £10k
Maximum = fine AND Termination of Membership = £50k + termination
RFC received £50k fine only
We must assume therefore that in their judgement causing the greatest insolvency event ever in Scottish Football and all its concomitant effects was rated as somewhere BETWEEN the TOP END and the MAXIMUM. That looks like a very slim place to me?
Q1. Should the correct sanction not have INCLUDED membership termination?
Discuss

Breaching Rule 2 – Each member shall procure that its officials, its Team Staff
and its players act in accordance with Rule 1 (act in good faith and abide by the articles)
(RFC found guilty and fined £10k)
The SFA Disciplinary Rule Book States 4 levels of sanction:
Sanctions available
Lower end = fine = £500
Mid-range = fine = £1k
Top end = fine = £5k
Maximum = fine AND 1 year suspension = £10k + suspension NOW
RFC received £10k fine only
We must assume therefore that in their judgement causing the greatest insolvency event ever in Scottish Football and all its concomitant effects was not seen as a breach of Trust or breach of the articles (mmmmmmmmmmm) by the member club but that certain employees/officials DID do this in some way, rated as somewhere BETWEEN the TOP END and the MAXIMUM. That looks like a very slim place to me?
Q1. Should the correct sanction not have INCLUDED a year’s suspension?

From RM. Due to factors entirely outwith the control of the Hun, there will be trouble on Sunday:
“I’m 100% convinced that there WILL be trouble next week What do you think?
Next week, at the potato stadium, Old Firm game.
Rangers’ fans emotions (and anger) are running at an all time high, the atmosphere will be on a knife edge and this could be potentially explosive, thanks to the Corruption FA’s recent antics.
Also, thanks to the Corruption FA, celtic’s total THUG of a manager will be able to take to the touchline despite recent apalling behaviouir. With lennon aware of the fact that he can literally do what he wants and will not face any punishment, I’m in no doubt that the horrible man will in some way do something to provoke an angry reaction from the Rangers fans.
Rangers fans’ emotions on a knife edge, lennon provoking Rangers fans, the only outcome here is TROUBLE.
I’m well aware that 99% of fans can handle their anger no matter what the situation, but it will only take ONE person to react, and I believe that could be the start of something much bigger.
Fighting in the stands, fans running on to the pitch (not just Rangers fans!), fighting outside the stadium, who knows what this could lead to…
As I said, I personally believe that there will be trouble, and it is ALL the Corruption FA’s fault.
I believe that the Corruption FA have gone way to far this time, and I believe that this will be the beginning of the end of Scottish football.
I won’t be going to the game as I totally refuse to give one penny to anyone in Scottish football except from my Glasgow Rangers, least of all those IRA loving scumbags.”
Always thought the easiest way to provoke a Hun was to smile at it.
This is not the end
This is not the beginning,
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty’s within ’em
We say Yeah!
With fists flying up in the air
Like we’re holding onto something
That’s invisible there,
‘Cause we’re living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we dead it, Forget it,
Let it all disappear.
Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It’s out of my control….
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It’s hard to let you go…
(Oh!) I know what it takes to move on,
I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven’t got
Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last,
I wish it wasn’t so…
(Oh!) I know what it takes to move on,
I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven’t got
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it’s like moving on
And i don’t even know what kind of things I’ve said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending Is starting again!!
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what i haven’t got…
This is not the end
This is not the beginning,
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violet rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty’s within ’em
(Holding on to what i haven’t got)
We say Yeah!
With fists flying up in the air
Like we’re holding onto something
That’s invisible there,
‘Cause we’re living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we dead it, Forget it,
Let it all disappear
(Holding on to what i haven’t got!)
