Rangersitis 0 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 not ignoring anything.....just raising a point that was talked about last night.... The fact of the matter is that the SFA have absolutely zero powers to force Ashley to do ANYTHING, whether that is a fine or even to turn up to the hearing. They also (I believe) have zero power to force RFC to cover any fine or punishment directed @ Ashley. Ashley insisted that he appoint 2 board members as part of his loan agreement, we can't argue that, what the SFA must prove is that Ashley is providing guidance to Llambias and therefore influencing board decisions. Laxey forced their man (Crichton) onto the board, and were probably able to have influence, did the SFA check if Laxey were involved with ANY other football clubs/organisations??? No, no and thrice no. The insistence that they be placed on the board is where 'influencing the administration....' comes in. You were told that and you still try to deflect the heat away from Ashley's actions by introducing Laxey into the mix. If you have reservations regarding Crichton's appointment, report it to the Compliance Officer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangersitis 0 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 ... something that I aluded to before, Darther In that case, you could write a joint letter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 In that case, you could write a joint letter. I was refering to the Laxey part in Darther's reply. Cracked a smile at the "joint letter" remark, would point at Darther's just raising a point that was talked about last night and would ask you to lay the sledge-hammer away before replying. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well aware of his "just raising...." excuse, but that particular poster has been pushing the pro-Ashley agenda, not that I would have expected you to notice. In light of your less than stellar performance when it comes to calling things right, I will ignore your advice on how I should post. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been pushing no agenda - I have nothing against Ashley, but I am definitely not in support of him either. I usually tend to try and play a devils advocate position - try and see the wider picture. To some, this appears as being a Pro stance, when in actual fact it's nothing of the sort. Obviously you are happy for RFC & MA to simply accept the charges from the SFA, and for us to roll over & accept any punishment they see fit???? My viewpoint is that if the SFA can't provide concrete proof that MA is influencing the club, then neither has a case to answer. MA requesting that Llambias is appointed to the board (in return for a significant loan) is only part of the issue. The SFA need to show that Llambias is actually carrying out MA's instructions. As for the Laxey issue.....What if they do have connections to other football clubs??? That would then indicate that the current charges are only being pursued due to MA's media profile. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very act of giving the loan with that stipulation included is evidence of Ashley influencing the administration. This is the fourth and final time I am going to tell you this. If you can't grasp it, I have nowt else to give. I told you what you could do about Laxey. If you feel that strongly about Ashley's victimisation because of his public profile, it seems like a good way to go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
