ian1964 10,870 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The Rangers Supporters Trust has called on the SFA Board to remove Stewart Regan from his role as Chief Executive after Morton became the second Scottish Football League club to accuse the SFA chief Executive of telling lies. The allegations relate to comments from Regan that he would block Rangers getting an SFA Licence had the SPL voted the club back into the top flight. It appears he will use similar tactics to block Rangers entering Division 3 should the SFL clubs decide this is the best solution. Regan is also under fire from fans for seeking to enforce an unlawful and draconian transfer embargo that will only serve to cripple the club and hinder its road to recovery. Trust Spokesman Mark Dingwall said: â??The fact that two club chairman have now publicly accused Stewart Regan of telling lies raises serious questions about his professional integrity and the SFA board needs to act to address this situation. They are refusing to answer legitimate questions from the media and fans about Mr Regan's position. The Rangers support has no confidence in Stewart Regan and it appears we are not alone in having grave concerns. Given these questions it is difficult to see how he can continue to carry out his job with any credibility. Since our club was placed into administration in February, rather than providing support and assisting a member club to recover, Stewart Regan has only seemed interested in being seen to damage our club as much as possible. The SFA Chief Executive should have followed the lead of his counterparts in the FA who have supported clubs like Portsmouth going through difficult times but sadly this has not been the case. His approach has only served to put the future of the Scottish game at risk. Stewart Regan is not acting in the interests of the majority of the clubs in Scotland despite his spin. He is acting solely in the interests of clubs in the SPL who are at risk due to reduced income. Given his reluctance to do anything to help Rangers, we would question why he seems so determined to assist a handful of other clubs to the detriment of the game as a whole. We are also seeking urgent clarification as to why the SFA has not reconvened the Appellate Tribunal following the judgement of the Court of Session and as directed by Lord Glennie. For Rangers and Scottish football to move on from this current debacle we need positive and constructive leadership, something it is very clear that Stewart Regan is incapable of providing." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Mistimed, imo. Regan is under plenty enough pressure from other teams, us sticking our oar in only serves to engender support for the lying toad. We should keep our counsel when things are moving, even a wee bit, the way we want them to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,511 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Totally agree time to put pressure on to get him out. The guy is playing Russian Roulette with Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy steel 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Or slow it down. I mean I understand and agree with the RST. I just don't think coming from a Rangers body it will do anything to get rid of him and may - may - create some sympathy. I could be totally wrong. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DavieBlue Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I remember the SFA putting pressure on Dougie MacDonald to retire/resign because he 'told lies'.......therefore, Regan has to do the same? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Regan is out of his depth in Scottish Football and I believe he knows it. Essentially he is an administrator and he did an excellent job re-shaping the SFA along the lines of the McLeish Report, which was no mean feat given all the "blazers" who lost committee positions as a result. He is also a champion of one league and a pyramid system both of which are badly needed. However, he is no match whatsover for Doncaster who is a political animal who fights dirty from the trenches. Regan has no power himself he only has the power that the clubs and the rules give him and he has misused both. I am sure he wishes he had never left Yorkshire and I am equally sure he won't be here this time next season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
