Record correct, SFA prepare to disband Appellate Panel

1122

This morning’s article in the Daily Record is not a work of fiction.  They reported that SFA chief executive Stewart Regan’s “bid to deliver a broad consensus over the way forward also involved discussions over the appellate tribunal’s transfer embargo on Rangers.”

In short, the SFA discussed changing their rules to disband the Independent Appellate Panel process before instructing Lord Carloway to sit in response to the Court of Session’s rejection of his previous judgement.

With two further Independent Judicial Tribunals still to sit in judgement on the actions of Rangers, for the illegal registration of players and non-payment of social taxes during the EBT era, the SFA will also subvert these rules before ‘Rangers’ are expelled from the Association.

After the meeting Regan left for his summer vacation without instructing Lord Carloway to convene the Appellate Panel.

That’s not all.

The scam to establish an SLP 2 in order to allow the SFA and SPL to co-opt ‘Rangers’ into that league is what the governing bodies have planned for your game.

If rules are changed AFTER a club is found guilty and in receipt of a penalty in order to nullify that penalty the game in this country is broke, ethically and financially.  Having established independent judicial panels to deal with serious rule breaches the SFA cannot do Rangers bidding without removing all judicial oversight.

We’re back to the days of George Peat walking in and out of hearings for the Celtic manager.

Most disturbingly of all, YOU are the cash cow for this outrageous enterprise.  With Rangers gone from the SPL Celtic fans bring all the commercial and television income into the game, and are set to buy more away ground tickets than all other clubs put together.

You are expected to continue to cough up for tickets to Tynecastle, Rugby Park etc, and subscribe to ESPN and Sky Sports – money which will divvied up among SPL 1 and SPL 2 teams, as well as they rest of the Scottish Football League clubs, to compensate for them missing out on a ‘Rangers’ game.

You will also pay more money for those tickets than any other group of fans in the league.  Why don’t you just write a cheque to Kilmarnock, Falkirk or Cowdenbeath today?

This nonsense will not bring another £1 into the game, all it will do is redistribute money from your pocket to clubs who care nothing for you.  Partick Thistle yesterday released a statement on their site, “We believe Scottish football needs to be restructured, financial distribution needs to be fairer for all clubs”.

“Financial distribution needs to be fairer”!  Patrick Thistle get to keep all their ticket sales, commercial and other income.  By “fairer” they mean they want some of your money.  If you agree with them, write them a cheque, but if you disagree, you better figure out what to do next.

Thoughts that some great victory has been achieved are premature.   Prepare for the next instalment.

Our domestic competition is, at best, uninspiring.  This disgusting land-grab for your cash will destroy our ability to compete in Europe, and it’s not just the senior team who will suffer.  The Celtic youth system costs millions to operate each year, don’t fantasise that it will survive intact.

Celtic currently employ 27 Scotland youth internationals.  They are almost single-handedly carrying the future of our national team.  This attempt to bleed your club dry will devastate all areas, with subsequent consequences for the Scotland team.

It’s not often I’ve told you the Daily Record have nailed a story but this one is on the money (your money).  I’m at a loss as to what to do next.

We cannot accept this.

    NC – I would describe supporting as, eh well supporting.

     

    Critics we have plenty of, supporters need more backbone and faith.

     

    Dead board v Celtic Board, penalty kick I don’t want to take.

     

    Off for a pint, goodnight and Ghod bless.

    Still in the pub.

     

    My problem is the defence of a board who have done nothing as far as I can see.

     

    Raging that this blog is again asking what we can do, when we’re still waiting to see their input.

  6. Why does the Euros music sound so like ‘Peter and The Wolf’?

     

    Sergei Prokofiev was born in The Ukraine ; he also wrote an opera called “The Three Oranges”…….that’ll be Ogilvie,Doncaster and Regan,then.

    You’ll have to explain to me how you have managed to construe my post as an attack on anyone’s integrity.

     

     

    The point I was making, and I thought it was clear enough, is that the dramatic shift in mood of the latest article from those posted over the last few weeks is unlikely to have occurred without good reason. Now ask yourself who would know what was discussed at that meeting, would be concerned about what was being proposed, and might have briefed our host.

    The SFA, SPL and SFL are not interested in Scottish football, Scottish football clubs , Scottish football players or Scottish football supporters. They are only interested in themselves, their cliques and their nice little earners. They are themselves essentially brotherly huns in arms. That’s why they have come up

     

    with

     

    a) 2 SPL’s to save newco

     

    b) No remorse from the huns at having ever done anything wrong

     

    c) No punishment for the huns

     

    d) No vision.

     

     

    Everyone knows it. Unfortunately the Celtic bored operate on the same MO otherwise we would have heard what they consider as to whats important for the future of Celtic, the future of Celtic within Scottish football and what they suspect will be any future financial burdens on the Celtic support.

     

    Still not a peep.

  17. Have to sign off, up early tomorrow. Have to relief Fiona, but before I go

     

     

     

    There will be no menu of Hun that will be playing professional football in this country next season.

     

     

    Simple

     

     

    Tam I thank you

    Paddy g….,

     

    There’s been no anti Celtic bile, anti board aye. But I’m no stupid enough to be confused about the difference.

     

    As I said tug yer locks but don’t expect the rest of us to consider your opinion to be considered anything less than lock tugging

    I took it more as a rhetorical question from Paul to be honest.

     

     

    I haven’t read the original article, only the summary on here. I just don’t see league reconstruction taking place in less than a month and the UEFA backlash if Carloway is not allowed to administer punishment after the Huns went to civil court will hit Scottish football, and particularly the parasites at Hampden like a ton of bricks.

     

     

    There are a lot of kites being flown, as there have been throughout the past year, but the Huns no longer exist and the chances of any new team playing at Ibrox next season are diminishing by the day.

     

     

    Things have panned out more than well since 14 February – Scottish football fans are outraged and they are getting that message to the chairmen of their clubs – that has a far greater impact than Celtic doing anything.

     

     

    Admittedly, if Regan and Ogilvie try to pull this off, I will expect Celtic to break their silence – but I don’t expect either of those numpties to remain in office if they try and fast-track Sevco into the SPL …. the outrage in Scottish football has reached the point of no return.

    When sevco 12 come calling in a few years, we should spend the whole ninety minutes chanting “you’re not rangers anymore”

     

     

    Ggh

  24. The way I see it is Rangers FC are dead,no more, deceased. There are some matters outstanding however and these have to be dealt with retrospectively. If found guilty of cheating their history must be re written to reflect that any honours gained illegally are removed. Once this has been done a line should be drawn under Rangers Football Club (1872-2012)

     

     

    Sevco or Rangers 2012 must apply to join the league at the lowest level.

     

    If their application is successful they should begin life in SFL 3 as a New club as recognised by Uefa i.e. first three years accounts prior to any European participation.

     

     

    Any other

    Bhoys dont try to follow the Rangers saga by looking at the rule book the authorities in Scottish Football are prepared to change every single rule to assist newco.There has been a well orchastrated plan right from Craig Whyte buying old Rangers that plan is still progressing.The only way to stop them is to have a vote of no confidence and start again with new officials.H.H.

     

     

    Exactly, what happened to the league reconstruction before Huns went into admin, went all quiet because plans were in place.

    I am old enough to have fancied her when she was making films with Sean Connery when he said he supported Celtic. More if a La Passionara man these days though!
