WAR OF WORDS SPFL confirms it has SCRAPPED plans for Rangers EBT review as league chiefs take swipe at SFA for refusing to back the plan.

 

League chiefs had called for an investigation but have dropped the demands following the SFA's refusal to get involved.

 

THE SPFL have SCRAPPED plans for an independent review into Scottish football’s handling of the Rangers EBT saga – and taken a swipe at the SFA for refusing to back the plan.

 

League chiefs had called for a wide-ranging investigation into the handling of Rangers’ tax turmoil leading to liquidation in 2012.

 

The SPFL, led by Neil Doncaster, called on the SFA to get behind the plan to look at how football authorities have handled clubs’ non-payment of taxes.

 

But the SFA rejected the request, claiming “raking over the coals” could only damage the game.

 

The SPFL board met today where it was accepted that a review WON’T happen.

 

A statement from league chiefs said: “The SPFL Board is disappointed in the Scottish FA’s decision not to participate in an independent review.

 

“The SPFL Board still believes that an independent review, promoted jointly by the Scottish FA and SPFL, would have resulted in a better understanding of the procedures and processes adopted by football’s governing bodies.

 

“Such a review would also have enabled any lessons learned to be implemented for the future benefit of the game in Scotland.”

 

SPFL Chairman Murdoch MacLennan added: “The SPFL Board has been clear that any meaningful review would have had to be carried out in association with the Scottish FA and with the full and active co-operation of both organisations.

 

“The SPFL Board has therefore concluded that it cannot, by itself, take forward an effective independent review.”

 

SFA chief executive Stewart Regan had previously insisted Celtic were the ONLY club out of 108 members who wanted the review.

 

Aberdeen, Hibs, Ross County and Kilmarnock have declared a desire to move on from the issue.

 

SunSport Online also revealed Rangers*sent a furious letter to Regan saying they were “angry and upset” over Doncaster’s attempts to hold a judicial review into the EBT issue.

Tims on the articles online are now going on about a judicial review.

 

Sad, lonely, obsessed bastards.

Are we allowed to ask what gave Doncaster the idea to come up with his statement and claims in the first place?

I dont see how he can remain.

The SPFL is just the company that runs the professional football leagues in Scotland.

 

The SFA is the highest governing football authority in Scotland. Since when did the SPFL have the authority to call for this review which we all know was just another attempt by the usual suspects to try & put the boot into Rangers?

 

The SPFL should try to do the job it is supposed to do. For starters try getting a better TV deal than the derisory one Doncaster & Liewell got back in 2012

Both bodies may still be the subject of scrutiny with plans for a fan-funded judicial review apparently progressing.

Oh, I can see lots of money will be gathered by those who usually spend it on charities, hospitals and kindergardens, or their club's UEFA fines ...
