Police first creditor to react

635

Strathclyde Police were Rangers first creditor to ask for a payment guarantee from Rangers’ newly appointed administrator, saying, “Strathclyde Police is a public body and has a duty to make sure public resources are used appropriately. We are seeking an urgent meeting with the administrators to ensure that any payment for policing costs at future Rangers games is guaranteed.

“Until we have such a guarantee we would not be in a position to commit public resources to policing an event unless we had a reassurance that our costs would be met.”

Before the administrator is able to allow the scheduled game against Kilmarnock on Saturday to proceed he would need to guarantee payments for all services employed and goods used, casting considerable doubt on the game proceeding.  The administrator is liable for any expenses he incurs from now which cannot be paid by the club.

Funds will need to be found for turnstile and security staff, while footballers may be asked to play for free.

    I think UEFA will only get involved if they see a breach of rules regarding a clubs’ eligibility by the member association, ie the SFA.

     

     

    So they’ll be wading in sometime around next Wednesday then.

  16. So the administrator will need to cut costs drastically. How does he do that?

     

     

    Bartley will be sent back. What other players or coaches are likely to go? Can they cancel contracts, release players or renegotiate downwards?

  21. This time last year certain vile acts were qualified with ‘he brings it upon himself’. What goes around comes around eh? Can anyone argue that they did not bring this upon themselves.

  23. Change in tact today by meedja. Not the ‘good of Scottish football’ line but ‘what about the poor people who will lose their jobs?’

     

     

    My heart bleeds. Reminds me of the personal politics scene from ‘Clerks’. Contractors on the death star knew what they where getting into when they took the job.
