RANGERRAB

nothing surprises me any more.

The SPL - SFA - Harper McLeod is like one cosy little conspiring organisation working together to an agenda to benefit them and hinder us.

Throw in the contribution from the mhedia, certain politicians and a handful of individuals inthe scottish legal profession in this country and you see what we're up against.

How we overcome this I have to say is one hell of a challenge.

traynor says he told the sfa.

I'd heard this too. If true & Traynor can prove it then in any normal situation Regan's position should be untenable.

That, and why they allowed CW to run up such a humungous debt before making it public knowledge.

 

Personally, I think it's because they couldn't be certain they'd get voting rights (on the CVA) proportional to their trumped up tax case, and wanted to make sure they'd still have the casting vote.

rumour was a certain Mr JT had knowledge of Whyte not paying PAYE & NI. Question is did Regan know and if he did why did he do nothing?

At the meeting between the RFWG and Regan last year, he stated to us that it was the documentary that started proceedings at the SFA.

I, for one, do not believe that for one minute. Why did he wait until Administration on Feb14 ? the documentary was 4 months earlier in october.

Did someone (a Scottish Labour politician who is now in the house of lords) exert influence on HMRC to pursue a now failed tax case against Rangers Football Club/MIM for use of EBT's over a period of time since 2000 ? is this not an abuse of power(political power), in other words corruption in all but name?

If so, who at HMRC agreed to this & for what reasons other than the fact the said politician & certain colleagues had an agenda against Rangers Football Club who have been historically more successful than his favoured football club ?

Given that Lieswell was a former director of a company that was involved in a legal action against Whyte in what was tantamount to fraud it's clear they knew from day one.

Of course they knew. When Whyte emerged as a buyer it was as if all their prayers had been answered. All they had to do was to get LBG to blackmail SDM into selling to Whyte. Remind me again, who was in charge of LBG's Scottish business division at that time?

At what point did the SFA know of Whyte's controversial business background? Was it before Daly's documentaty in Oct 2011?

On the day Whyte bought Rangers the Daily Telegraph had an article about Whyte & his colourful past. Were the SFA aware of it?

If they were aware of it why did they do nothing until administration on FEB14 2012?

At what point did the SFA know Craig Whyte wasn't paying HMRC the PAYE & NI contributions ? Was it before administration ? if so how long before?

And if so why did the SFA not do anything about it ?

Given FTTT result, Whyte is the only thing which can be thrown at us. IMO the SFA & maybe SPL too have serious questions to answer regards Whtye.

Perhaps JT has background on this ?

would prefer to see the club concentrating its efforts on where it'll use its money to strengthen the squad once the embargo is lifted. what else should the RFFF be used for?

Makes you so proud to be a Rangers Supporter when you see this sort of tribute being given to one of our fellow supporters does it not?

his managerial record isn't that great. His only real success was at the Glitterdome mainly due to McLeish's failings towards the end of his time at Rangers & the disasterous PLG appointment. Walter Smith's return meant the end for him. He then ended up at Middlesborough where he flopped big style. I remember Bernie Slaven being quoted as calling him an embarrassment who seemed to have lost the plot going by some of his statements. We shall see what happens but I shall shed no tears if he fails............for him & the tattered army

In the unlikely event we do get into the National Conference (to give it its proper title) we'd need to ensure we could get promotion right up to the EPL thro' the leagues. Hope they don't just want us to boost the lower leagues & would deny us promotions

What you need to remember is that the biggest financial contributor to scottish football (SKY) wants 4 OF games minimum per season. If they don't get that.................well let's see what might happen after not getting it this season

OUR European record since 2008 has been disgraceful. There's no getting away from that. Going out of Europe to Malmo & Maribor should be a resignation case for a Rangers Manager IMO.

Could it be that Longmuir knows this has no chance of getting the support of the SFL and he's just giving the two muppets enough rope to hang themselves.

genuinely hope you're correct but the fact these 2 are still around makes me think what you say unlikely to be the case

they are not going anywhere mate.

They certainly seem to be here for the long haul(unfortunately) while scottish football lurches from one problem to the next (celtic excluded of course)

is the brand important so long as the quality's good? take the liverpool example. They had a 6 year deal with adidas wortk £12m per year which adidas ended because they said liverpool weren't a successful enough side anymore. They then got the warrior deal which is worth £25m per year. Which would you rather have?

every day we are told (by the likes of bill mcmurdo) this cabal(regan,dumbcaster etc) will fall. when will that be? next month? next year? when?

We need to get better in the transfer market too. We also need a decent global scouting system which identifies young players we can sign low & sell high like Ajax

Am I the only one who thinks Longmuir is playing devils advocate in all this. He knows these 2x12 (3x8) won't work & dumbcaster will fall on his sword leaving him in charge

If true, can we expect a boycott of SportsDirect from the you-know-whos ?

nothing he has done in his professional career has been a success. its amazing what being part of a certain religion can do for peoples careers.

Once they get in , they employ from within their own.

there needs to be a full & open enquiry into the recuitment & appointment of Regan as SFA CEO. There's so many questions:

What was it going by his past record which made him prime candidate ? (esp.since his record at YCC was none too great)

Who interviewed him at the SFA?

Were there other candidates who applied ?

many many more not least his past association with Liewell at Coors. Was that the real reason he got the job?

Don't have a problem with that. It's still Ibrox to me where I go to watch the team.

Now let's see who we'll be getting as a new shirt manufacturer & shirt sponsor for next season.

His past association with Liewell is well known and this seems to influence his judgement in all issues affecting Rangers. Rhegan is not impartial like most of the SFA nowadays. Obviously Mr English cannot see that.

I think Archie should have Regan's job.

Regan lacks only two things which Archie has in abundance, intelligence and common sense!

Mind you, Regan lacks many other qualities far too numerous to mention.

Regan's appointment as SFA CEO needs seriously looked into as does the appointment of Craig Levein as Scotland manager - a manager with no obvious credentials. Who was behind these appontments & why?
