RANGERRAB

When SDM abandoned ship at Ibrox & we ended up with no representation in Scottish Football, the yahoos took over & appointed their own people such as Dumbcaster & Rhegan. They effectively took over the running of the game in this country and it has been downhill ever since. When we ended up in SFL3 the Tv deals & sponsorships Scottish a Football got were derisory compared to other similar sized countries to Scotland. Putting its biggest club in the bottom tier had its consequences financially to everyone and that is now beginning to show. Scottish clubs have no money to improve their product on the park. It is there for all to see in this season's results in European club competitions. Will anyone suggest next season will be better? The situation won't improve until Rangers are back in the top division, competing for the title year in year out and playing in Europe beyond Christmas every season. That is hopefully not too far away now.Rangers will bring much needed finance to the top division when we return. The big problem is that Scottish Football has fallen so far it's a long way back. The likes of Dumbcaster & Rhegan must be removed from their positions as a consequence of that.

Scottish football signed its own death warrant when Rangers were put in its bottom domestic division.

As I said in an earlier post it was always inevitable the big clubs in the top leagues were going to want the CL money to themselves eventually. Scottish clubs haven't done well enough in europe though have they? Most are out by the times the schools go back in august ! and putting your biggest & most succesful club in the bottom domestic league was hardly beneficial was it? And when did Abahdeen last play in the CL? What were they doing there?

The SNP & the yahoos are the same thing nowadays. Look how many of them have joined the SNP

Did they? First I knew about thiis

So what? Does anyone read the Herald or Sunday a Herald?

Is there still time for a 16 club premiership next season? Don't bet against it

Couldn't agree more but we need to be careful here. There is no way Liewell is out there trying to negotiate on behalf of Scottish Football. Our board need to be focused here and keep a watchful eye on this. Liewell is not to be trusted.

The words 'derisory' and 'peanuts' spring to mind. Scottish football has gone backwards since Doncaster & Regan arrived.

Are the people who wrote that stuff from Pacific Shelf 595 or HMS402 ? Does anyone know?

We'd still be allowed into the EL ? My concern is Liewell. I wouldn't put it past him to try & negotiate for the yahoos to still be able to get into the CL but not for us. Believe me he is not to be trusted. I genuinely hope alarm bells were ringing in the Rangers boardroom when Liewell went to Geneva. As I said in an earlier post - was it Parkhead Peter or SFA Peter who went?

If Spiers is still repeating the allegation he made in the Herald the Rangers board must be seen to be doing something about it.

Voting Rangers out the SPL in 2012 allowed Celtic a virtually free crack at the CL every season. Club chairmen wouldn't stand up to Liewell even though they knew it wasn't in their clubs best financial interests. And wining & dining Greasy Platini at the San Giro was done for a reason you know. As was the UEFA pursuit of Rangers for alleged sectarianism whilst the yahoos had by far the bigger problem with their support. So to answer ur question I think their business plan was to try and put us out of the way for as long as possible to allow them access to the CL. Now though Karl Heinz Rumenigge & maybe other too have other ideas. Liewell could always tell him & UEFA about 'sporting integrity' . You would be able to hear the laughter in this country all the way from Geneva

I'm sure there will be those who will want to still watch europe's elite. How many though?

It was always inevitable that the big clubs from the top leagues in Europe paying the top wages & transfer fees were going to want to keep the CL money amongst themselves. Not saying I agree with this but isn't there something ironic about Liewell going there to try to secure SPFL entry to the CL when his club voted Rangers out the then SPL four years ago which has seriously weakened the game in this country, not least financially. Since then all clubs including his own, have been reducing their costs and subsequently the product on the park has got poorer. In Europe this season we've seen the yahoos finish bottom of their EL group(including home & away defeats from the mighty FK Molde) St Johnstone put out by Armenian opposition & Aberdeen put out by a team who finished third in the Kazakhstan league. Do these teams really deserve to be in the CL LIewell? Or allowed the opportunity to do so? I don't think so.

We have to hope at his forthcoming fraud trial that many questions many of us have had about Whyte get answered. His lifestyle certainly does not seem to match what he is i.e. a third-rate, failed businessman who has left behind numerous failed companies with monies seemingly owed all over the place. In its heyday the Leggoland blog once described Whytes 'business empire' as being like a Russian doll consisting of companies inside one another none of which seemed to be trading & making any money.

I would be very surprised indeed if Arsenal didnt beat Man Utd next week. Man Utd are a shadow of the team they were under SAF.

I wonder if this could now become an Arsenal vs Spurs battle for the title following today's results. Man City are losing too many games & could Leicester's bubble have burst?

Who is paying for Whyte to stay in Belgravia ? Not the taxpayer I hope

The other week he accused clubs in this country pushing for a 16 club top flight of acting in self-interest. His trip to Geneva was exactly that on the yahoos behalf. Pot, kettle, black anyone?

If they want to watch the CL they have no choice.

Was it Parkhead Peter or SFA Peter who went to Geneva?

Someone in UEFA should tell Liewell it's called Sporting Integrity. Got to preserve the good name of the CL. Don't want teams with pondlife supporters in it do we?

They get humiliated in the EL ( beaten home & away by Molde) but Liewell wants to play in the CL. You couldn't make this up

Shouldn't make any difference. If we can't thump alloa it's time to chuck it
