Guest Dutchy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've kept away from this thread, for the potential confusion that may result, but it's hardly surprising that the admins don't want to comment on it. It proves there is a huge fan base out there, willing to help Rangers FC. Or is it because it's been down through the media? Who knows? I can't think of much more I'd like to say on this matter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 At the moment it is nothing to do with the Admins. They have no access or control of the funds. They will meet with the RFFF heads and discuss what costs they need covered and the RFFF will decide if it's reasonable and send them over.The Admins have no control of this at all. I realise admins have no control over the money. I just find it surprising if they haven't commented on it. Perhaps my admin radar working overtime. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMazza 0 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I realise admins have no control over the money. I just find it surprising if they haven't commented on it. Perhaps my admin radar working overtime. But they have no reason to comment on it. Their usual statement does reference the support of fans etc. Until they directly receive money from the fund to help with costs, they have no cause for comment. If they had already commented I believe certain fans would be up in arms. To get the fund off the ground there had to be an agreement that the admins/lawyers would not be paid from it. I believe it's better the admins don't comment until/unless it's telling us what they used a particular donation for - which I presume they will be expected to do so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMazza 0 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Spiers just tweeted this: To those Celtic fans who are near-suicidal at idea of HMRC 'cutting a deal' with RFC: it's no media figment. Duff + Phelps strongly hinting. (totally irrelevant but probs not worthy of a full thread, unless we can have a twitter feed thread? Good idea/bad idea?) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,665 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Spiers is just speculating like the rest of us. We must be getting nearer to a FTT decision though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Was also hinted at last night on the R5Live programme, not sure who mentioned it tho'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I hope some of the funds will go to paying off some of the small traders that are creditors, like tradesmen, suppliers etc. Then maybe pay some of the smaller clubs too even dare i say Dundee Utd, although i detest that moron Thompson. But our clubs good name needs to be re-established and this is one way of securing that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I would dump it outside Tannadump in one pence pieces. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our clubs good name needs to be re-established and this is one way of securing that. It was stated at the outset that the Fighting Fund would most definitely not be used to pay off existing creditors. The pot of money is purely to be used to help secure the safety and future of the club. Once the club is safe again then discussions will take place about what's to be done with any remaining money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rightly so. The idea of using our donations to pay off creditors is ridiculous. I donated to keep my club's head above water, not to help creditors survive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
