Prima Facie Day!

865

Prima facie day is here!  Neil Doncaster spent weeks telling us that the SPL had yet to establish if Rangers had a prima facie case to answer in connection with the alleged illegal registration of players.  Today he confirmed to the SPL board and the media that they do indeed have a case to answer.

Rangers Employee Benefit Trusts have been the source of considerable controversy since 2010 when it emerged that HMRC had taken action against the club, at the time claiming in the region of £24m.  EBTs had been recorded on Rangers accounts for a decade without much comment, so there was no reason to assume the club had made payments to players out-with the oversight of the football authorities.

On 22 February this year Celtic Quick News asked the question, were these EBT payments recorded with the SFA, or did Rangers hide them?  There was little reason for the club to hide them, unless, perhaps, they had something to else hide, which was beginning to look the case.

Today we have our answer.  Whatever is left of what some regard to be Rangers FC will be subject to some of the most severe disciplinary procedures levelled in the history of football.  Appropriate penalties for subverting the game for over a decade are impossible to define.

Celtic fans are not the only ones to lose from this illegal registration of players but they suffered significantly.  Five league titles went to Rangers, in 2003, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2011.  All of these titles will be stripped from Rangers records and awarded to Celtic.

You can look forward to 12-in-a-row day soon, which is simply, CHAMPION!

  6. Oldclub –

     

     

    Double contracts

     

    EBTs

     

    Non payment of NI

     

    Non payment of PAYE

     

    Non payment of VAT

     

    Contract Payments to non employees

     

    Unpaid bills

     

    Bigotry

     

     

    Newclub-

     

     

    Non existant!!!

     

     

    We cannot look to punish Newclub for Oldclub sins or we do not accept they died. The choice is ours!!

     

     

    However, we can still enjoy the demise of the cheating dead club, through altering history by removing titles, cups, achievements, and when our children ask ‘why’ was that history altered.

     

     

    ” because they cheated” is the reply!!

     

     

    That is the stain they cannot ‘forever’ run away from .:))))))

     

     

    Listen to that “forever”, it’s a long time to be ‘stained” :)))).

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

    Won’t happen …… The world is watching …… The uproar would bring down the SFA

     

     

    Sorry but I have to disagree. I live not too far over the border and, honestly, they do not give a twopenny damn about Scottish football, far less its problems (hell mend them when their Sky bubble explodes). For some this might be a wee bit of a close-season interlude but their minds are firmly on their own football affairs. I can guarantee that the only news they are interested in is that of the English leagues and at the moment they have the massive added distraction of the Euros. If there are any with real interest, I think you will find they are followers of either us or ‘them that was’. Integrity and all that goes with it is as far away from English minds as it is from those of certain Scottish footballing authorities and club chairmen and any involvement as distant as the possibility of succulent lamb being removed from English menus. I am afraid the “uproar” is hardly even a mere whimper just a few miles from the epicentre. I have grave doubts whether or not the “world” is even listening never mind “watching”. If ever I wished I were wrong it is ………..
