RANGERRAB

I wonder what would happen if & when Whyte gets convicted. Could we appeal the European ban?

why would that be a problem?

Season 2015/16 ?

Hope Alexander stays because he's a better keeper IMO than Cammy Bell whom I've grave reservations about. However Alexander would clearly be unable to continue to get his £13k pw or whatever he's on & would need to accept less

the words 'if offended, please explain' should be on the plaque too

He doesn't even understand the SPL rules according to LNS.

Regan runs the SFA as instructed by Liewell. Likewise Doncaster at the SPL.

Being a fit & proper person IS in the SFA'a articles of association. They reserve the right to determine whether a person is or not. At the time of Whyte's takeover AJ was most vociferous in his opposition to Whyte. One wonders why the SFA did not take action at that time & investigate Whyte further.Did someone tell them not to ?

I believe they did. AJ was most vociferous in his opinion of Whyte which turned out to be 100% accurate. The question arising from this is why SDM sold to Whyte. Was he blackmailed by LBG ? You do know who were in charge of LBG's Scottish business divsion at the time don't you ?

Not true. Withholding PAYE/NI collected from employees isn't a criminal offence ? that's new one to me. Think you'll find he'll be charged with his in due course along with everything else the police will building a dossier on Ask any CA. Being late with PAYE/NI is bad enough and if it were to happen again then HMRC would normally invite themselves into the business and would be going thru' everything. Something the business would want to avoid. The key question is how Whyte managed to avoid PAYE/NI for so long. Why did HMRC take no action? another of the many questions needing answers.

I'd think the main focus should be on the SFA whose actions(or in-actions) I find bewildering to say the least. There are two areas in which I believe they should be brought to account:- 1) if there is a 'fit & proper persons' requirement for anyone acquiring a football club in Scotland was it applied to Whyte? if not why not ? his background was easy to discover as Jeff Randall (SKY business news) highlighted on the day Whyte got Rangers If it was applied what did it find out about Whyte ? I don't buy Regan's tosh about allegedly not knowing about Whyte until Daly's documentary 2) At what point did the SFA discover Whyte was committing a criminal offence by not handing over PAYE/NI ? Is it true JT (then at the DR) advised them around Sept/Oct 2011? if so what action did they take ? if none why? The SFA are a governing body with rules & regulations everyone in Scottish football must adhere to. It looks to me they failed miserably in this instance on not once but twice which led to catastrophic consequences for us. Can I maybe ask if they deliberately did so ? if so who was behind it. Clubs should be entitled to protection by the governing body

if Whyte gets convicted then surely Rangers were victims of a crime & yet got punishments from the SFA & SPL. A bit like a house break-in & the homeowner gets charged as opposed to the house-breaker. The part I find most interesting is whether or not the SFA knew Whyte was committing a crime by not paying PAYE/NI and took no action. As a governing body should they not have done something ? Surely oldco shareholders would have a case there if it can be proven the SFA knew about this ? negligence ? Not to mention the SFA's fit & proper persons requirements for which Whyte would have surely failed and wouldn't have got Rangers in the first place. I simply don't buy Regan's alleged claim he knew nothing about Whyte's background until Daly's documentary in Oct2011.

we are dealing with people who, last summer, were doing their utmost to put us out of business altogether. I cannot & will not forget that and will never forgive these people for as long as I live. I want revenge on these people & their clubs and the most obvious way is to sabotage their income from SKY as they would be seriously damaged without it. They can keep their SKY deal but we want no part of it. No televised Rangers games thank you. See how much SKY will pay then. Not a lot I'd think

No idea what you mean. Can you explain ? would oldco shareholders be able to sue SFA and/or SPL as a result of punishments handed out?

what's a gimme?????????????

regards the Rangers takeover 2 years ago will the shareholders in the oldco sue the SFA/SPL for punishments which weren't merited as a crime had taken place ?

Absolutely no chance of Scottish football getting Rangers fans on board again. Scottish football is made up of hate-filled anti-Rangers zealots who only want us for the money we bring to Scottish football. They also want us playing in the lowest division possible. I want revenge on these people as it's the only language these cretins understand. For starters let's do all we can to destroy the SKY deal. Request SKY not to include us for starters and advise them there'll be no access to Ibrox. See how that goes down.

Whatever happens one thing is for sure - Rangers will subsidise it. This has to stop. We need to get SKY to veto these proposals with its financial distribution which is basically our money. The subsidy junkies of scottish football must be stopped

Does anyone think Longmuir's SFL & Rangers may now break away and form their own league & invite clubs to join them ??

''Play offs certainly give you more to sell ? Ha Ha this guy's brilliant. Get me a ticket when he's next in town. No one is interested in two bob clubs whose usual home attendance is around the 1000 mark. The only people interested in these games are those who will go to that game. Does this halfwit not get that ? these are parasite clubs leeching off the Rangers TV money. Have they a sponsor to replace the CB yet? And if they do how much less will they pay? And what do SKY make of all this ? looks much the same to me apart from a few wee teams in play-offs. That'll certainly get the viewing figures up - NOT. What if SKY want to renegotiate given the fact that it's pretty much the same dross ? how will the financial promises be kept ?

Don't hold your breath mate. Longmuir's out on his ear. This ain't a merger it's a takeover by the SPL aka Doncaster-Liewell- Petrie.

plenty of questions still to be answered what will new governing body be called ? will all 42 clubs be full members including us ? who will be in charge ? is there really an £11m SPL debt? will it be one club one vote ? who are sponsors ? how will SKY deal be affected ? many more I'm sure

Ever since that toytown parliament sprung up at Holyrood it has provided the anti-Rangers two bob politicians in Scotland with another means to attack Rangers Football Club and its supporters. Every slightest little incident involving us gets maximum publicity via their stooges in the mhedia but meanwhile over the other side support for outlawed terrorist organisations gets played down or not reported at all. Mulholland QC the solicitor general for Scotland (or whatever he is) goes to their games. Does he find this support acceptable ? I believe we should be told as the late John Junor would have said Their bigotry towards us is overlooked but anything shown towards them is highly publicised. And who can forget the incident at Annan Station earlier this season when arriving Rangers supporters were made to queue in single file & give their name and address before going to the game. I wasn't there but it reminded me of Schindlers List in many ways. What next ? Will holyrood insist all Rangers supporters are to have a blue square on their forehead so as to identify them ? Oh and btw howcome just about everyone in the Scottish legal profession seems to be RC nowadays? and they're well-represented in the media too. Perhaps over-represented? Or am I just paranoid. If the independence result is YES would the last person leaving the Jacobite republic please put out the lights before it goes bust like the Celtic tiger across the water emperor Salmond used to lavish such praise on.

Whatever they came up with it'll be Rangers who'll be subsidising it. It all boils down to what are we prepared to do about it. Does anyone in their right mind think this is the way forward for Scottish football ?

This means the end for the SFL. Will that happen?
