'Scottish football seems to be in a permanent state of civil war and lacking the leadership to negotiate a peace treaty. On every front there are battles raging. The media are constantly accused of being too negative by supporters about the national game, but looking at the current state of play it’s difficult to find many rays of sunshine among the gloom. Currently many fans are demanding that the new Rangers be stripped of the titles that the old Rangers won. This comes on the back of the Court of Session verdict that the club’s use of Employee Benefit Trusts was illegal. The scheme ensured that Rangers could sign players who, as the judgment said: ‘If the bonuses had not been paid might well have taken their services elsewhere’. Many fans of other clubs read this as a clear statement that the Scottish game was rigged by a kind of ‘financial doping’, in the period 2001-2009 when Rangers won titles using a scheme not open to other clubs, because it was unlawful. Now the football authorities must decide whether or not those honours were tainted and whether to remove them from the club. In arriving at their decision they must heed the principle of sporting integrity which underpins fair competition.' Fook me, there are so many gaping holes in that post that it looks like Swiss Cheese. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,761 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Lifted from FF: Scottish clubs which have not paid their debts Debt refinancing has become a common feature amongst Scottish football clubs. Refinancing is really a euphemism for debt being written off. That means the debts do not have to be repaid. Hence what has happened is that clubs have lived beyond their means, spent too much money, but are not required to repay the debt. Interestingly, very often it is Lloyds Bank which has consented to the refinancing, the very same bank which would not cut any kind of deal with Rangers. Can anyone seriously argue that where debts have been forgiven, the clubs concerned have not received an advantage, sporting or otherwise? I don't recall anyone raising thus as an issue for these clubs. Compare and contrast with Rangers Needs to be highlighted. The following clubs have received this advantage. There may be others I have missed.
