Improper Registration charge for corrupting 700 games still to hit

1256
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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?

    Morning Celts and welcome back to the land of the living to my youngest son Jonathan who’s been working in the mines for the last 9 days, I better give him a Hun update as he doesn’t have any phone or timternet access out there.

    Everyone on the blog on good form yesterday & through the night. What a laugh catching up on the songs for sunday.

     

     

    Paul67, Would you be as kind to just give everyone a warning about the dangers of a hurting hun when you have time. Tims everywhere need to be on their guard when the “peepil” finally realise they are no more. They are vicious in victory, can you imagine what they will be like when their club dies. Thanks, HH

    Anyone seen the Michael Jackson’s Thriller video? If not pop along to Queens Park on Saturday, apparently they’re shooting a modern version.

    Stunning article by Bill Leckie in this morning’s Sun as he gets stuck into Rangers . . .

     

     

    THERE’S an old saying, you should be careful who you trample on your way up, because you might need them on your way back down.

     

     

    Rarely has it applied more than in the meltdown of Rangers Football Club.

     

     

    There’s an element at Ibrox who, when they were flying, wouldn’t have peed on the rest of Scottish football had it been on fire.

     

     

    If you’re not with them, you’re against them. Do, say or write anything they don’t agree with and… well, they all know what you are.

     

     

    That element went all the way up to David Murray and all the way down to guys like Mark Dingwall, who’s gone from running an abusive website to casting himself as spokesman for a generation.

     

     

    Between them, they’ve left anyone and everyone in their sights without a name.

     

     

    So what makes them think that now it’s all gone pear-shaped, the world will drop everything and help them out of the s***?

     

     

    Which is not to say I believe the rank and file of Rangers supporters deserve what’s happening to their club. I’m not saying they had this day coming. Nor am I convinced the SFA’s ruling is the right one, because they shouldn’t be trusted to run a bath, never mind the national sport.

     

     

    The transfer embargo makes sense, as it’s the debt run up through vanity signings that has — in part, at least — taken them to the brink of oblivion. But demanding money from a business who has none? Anyone who’s ever been hit with a £30 surcharge for going overdrawn knows how illogical that is.

     

     

    What is fair? I’m not sure. All I know is that to give in to rabble-rousing mouthpieces like Dingwall and let them reinvent themselves without punishment because it’s The Rangers, is a non-starter.

     

     

    Where were they when Clydebank and Airdrie and Gretna were dying, when Motherwell and Dundee and Livingston were in administration?

     

     

    Hitting the phone-ins to sneer that no one should weep, because there were too many clubs in Scotland anyway, that’s where.

     

     

    But I’ve long since warned the excrement would really hit the extractor when a big club went belly-up, churned endless columns about how Murray’s ego-driven, My Tenner To Your Fiver bravado would end in tears. So fans’ groups can re-write history all they like and pretend everything was dandy until that nasty man Whyte got his hands on them. But they’re only kidding themselves.

     

     

    Yes, the SFA’s investigation centred on the chaotic reign of this chinless, gutless chancer.

     

     

    But where’s the probe into Murray’s role? When are the fans going to turn their anger on a man who saw HMRC coming over the hill like a million Apaches and palmed the whole shooting match off to that chancer for a quid?

     

     

    It might make the punters feel big to boycott William Hill and Vauxhall because they put cash into the SFA, but that’s going to solve nothing.

     

     

    Rangers are rooked because Murray — aided, by the likes of his namesake Paul, who sat there as they unravelled, yet now claims he’s their saviour — hurled money at foreigners with no sell-on value, who took the club no further up the European ladder than they’d been with a team farmed in Kinning Park and Bellshill.

     

     

    None of this is the fault of the SFA or their sponsors or journalists or anyone else on the most-wanted list of the No One Likes Us We Don’t Care brigade.

     

     

    It’s 100 per cent at the door of men they followed blindly because they promised the earth.

     

     

    Rangers, as a club, are the ones who did the crime. Now, they have to do the time.

     

     

    And the worst they get is not being able to sign players for 12 months. They’ve got off with probation.

    BILLY McNEILL insists that Celtic can go on to win 9-in-a-row again — if Rangers go bust.The Hoops legend believes time is running out to stop the Ibrox club sliding into liquidation. And he reckons this season’s title could be the first of many for Neil Lennon’s stars if they do. McNeill said: “With Gers on their knees I have to say another 9-in-a-row isn’t out of the question. “I genuinely don’t know if there is any way out of this situation for Rangers. “There is now a very real prospect the club could slip out of existence.“And to add insult to injury, I think Celtic are perfectly positioned to make the most of it. “I’ve heard people say the two clubs need each other to prosper but I don’t agree. “I don’t think Celtic will be affected by what is happening to Rangers in any shape or form. “In fact I think they will only grow STRONGER. “This year’s league championship is already in the bag and I expect they will find winning titles suddenly a whole lot easier.” McNeill, skipper of the legendary Hoops side which won nine titles in a row between 1966 and 1974, also believes that Lennon’s Celtic would prosper off the field too if Gers went out of business. He said: “In recent years the Old Firm have come as a package. Companies have paid a lot of money to have their logo on both teams’ shirts. “But Celtic’s pulling power won’t be affected one bit if they were suddenly on their own. “It actually would put them in a position to negotiate even more lucrative deals. “It would be the same with TV. I know Sky invest heavily in Scottish football on the basis of the Old Firm rivalry. But I’m not so sure they would walk away if Gers were no longer there. “They would still be dealing with a dominant Celtic that people would want to see. “And I think that would eventually help make them an even bigger club in the long run. “Of course it’s all up in the air right now. Nobody knows which way it’ll go. “But I think Gers need a miracle and I don’t know where they’ll get it. “I do NOT feel sorry for them. I don’t think anyone should. “Because, make no mistake about it, the mess Gers are in right now is all of their own making.”

    Good morning friends. It’s another dry and bright start to the day over East Kilbride although I don’t think the rain’s too far away.

    Tom McGlaughlin – Never been a reader of the Sun and assumed its columnists toed the laptop loyal line – is Bill Leckie writing out of character? Or has he, as he claims, always warned about the Murray spending approach?

  20. coorslad on

    Bill Leckie is involved in revisionist history to portray himself in a good light. He was one of Murray’s sychophants. He can see the writing on the wall though.

  31. RobertTressell on

    I see Fat Ally has reached the right conclusions (Division 3 Football) for all the wrong reasons (it’s all whytes fault, the SFA are out to get us, it isn’t fair, please ignore what we were doing for the previous 2 decades…..)

     

     

    Ally, if you are looking in, you deserve Division 3 because your club, teams you played in, cheated for a long long time. David Murray is the real bad guy. And he had plenty hench men.

    Vmhan,heading down to Portsalon to clear the mobile home out..some great memories..do you remember landing unexpected,and I caught you slipping into the hotel..turned into some session.

    How funny would it be if the huns got pummeled every weekend in division 3.

     

     

    ———–

     

     

    No way would they get pummeled every weekend- you’ve forgot the number of postponed games due to water-logging, ice, power cut or the occasional burnt out car on the pitch.

     

     

    Apologies to any 3rd division fans out there, I hope Celtic help you out in any way possible next year. A few loan players perhaps?

    The flames of burnt cars or the flames of hell await them. I think they will struggle in division 3.

     

     

    I think it would be good for Scottish football for Celtic to have a reserve team in division 1. On a no promotion no relegation basis. If possible i have no idea.

    Just heard McCoist saying he wants fairness I wonder where he thought the fainess was when this season they have NOT PAID PAYE NIC and VAT, and for years the operation of EBT’s.

     

    I think Scottish football requires fairness and not the RFC version of it

    Tune for Sunday? How about the theme tune to Hectors House? Coz when the Big Tax Case bites does the Big Hoose not become Hectors Hoose?
