You can Read All About It in Scotland’s former top selling newspaper this morning. The SFA and SPL have told Bill Miller he’s welcome into the top league in the country and there will be no additional penalties added to the club. The Daily Record tells us:
“Miller has been given assurances by Scottish football’s governing bodies that even though his survival plan involves a newco, Rangers will not lose their place in the SPL or be hammered with additional penalties.
“Administrator David Whitehouse said: “It’s my belief that is one of the assurances he (Miller) has received.””
Three Twitter comments from BBC correspondent, James Cook, yesterday afternoon captured similar information from the men currently managing Rangers:
“The administrators say they understand Bill Miller has assurances that Rangers will continue in the SPL with no further points deductions.
“Administrators say they understand Rangers will retain all previous titles and continue in SPL with no points deductions.
“Rangers’ administrators say the taxman is supportive of Bill Miller’s deal. HMRC say they have agreed to nothing.”
Mr Cook’s third Tweet contained the inevitable rebuttal from HMRC to the notion put about by Duff and Phelps.
As we reported yesterday, the SFA and SPL have given absolutely no assurances to anyone about further penalties, points deductions, inquiries or the removal of trophies found to be won by cheating. Yesterday’s statements caused agitation as SFA and SPL executives sought to reassure stakeholders they were untrue.
The statements also caused distress among many football fans (who frankly should have known better) and brought the reputation of Scottish football into disrepute.
Allowing misleading comments to be issued on your behalf is unwise, especially if the SFA and SPL will soon have to decide a variety of punishments you will have to endure.
Let me spell this question out as clearly as possible:
WHO IS THE LIAR HERE?
Rangers have been banned from registering players for 12 months for failing to ensure the man who bought the club this time last year was Fit and Proper to own a football club. Are the same club now going to ‘sell’ the assets, including league share, to Mr Miller when the veracity of his claims to the club’s administrators has been unequivocally contradicted by the SFA and SPL?
If a 12 month ban is not stern enough to ensure a club finds an inscrutable new owner perhaps it should be doubled. If the SFA capitulate in the face of this evidence and reduce Rangers player registration ban they would be as well removing the pretence and accepting There Are No Fit and Proper Persons Criteria in Scottish Football.
Rangers are committing the same offence in full sight of the SFA – and they don’t care who knows it.

anyone got a link to the samaras interview?
LiviBhoy 12.31
I think you are a bit hard on Cha.I don’t think he was laughing ,as such,I think it is in the nature of Far East people to express themselves in this manner
Incubators and history,
How ridiculous can these Scottish spin masters get ? They must be suffering withdrawals from the succulency sucking. So let me understand this. Is someone is trying to make me believe that:
The club formerly known as rangers will be incubated in 2012 and retain their history (eg 54 titles)
The 1ST newco (poundland fc) will operate for a unknown period of time (I don’t know how long) and lets say for the sake of argument that the 1st newco win 1 title during this unknown period of operation
The 2nd newco (no one likes us fc) which will then incorporate the club formerly known as rangers, plus the1st newcos records together. And then claim to have 55 titles on the day it was formed.
Voila and Bobs yer uncle Jean. Simples.
Hmmm, let me think now,I therefore suggest that Celtic immediately buy up the defunct clubs in Scotland and we then can add the trophy haul of Third Lanark, Clydebank, Gretna and Airdrie (or was their trophy record already sold?) to our own impressive haul.
Since the other now defunct Scottish sides might represent an quite insignificant trophy haul we should not stop there, No. We should also look further afield and also merge the trophies of foreign sides into our own trophy haul. Does anyone know of foreign side that has won a European trophy and wants to sell their history? We need to move quick before Bill Miller buys their history from them.
And bearing in mind that countries such as West Germany no longer exist, I suggest Peter Lawell moves quickly to snap up the West Germany World Cup Titles to add to Celtics collection, who says were no the best club side in the world noo then eh? Weve noo won the world cup!!
Which takes me right back to where I started from “How ridiculous can these Scottish spin masters get?”
“rangers song, lets show celtic how it should be sung.”
