Statement from Parks of Hamilton Ltd A spokesperson for Parks of Hamilton Ltd said: “We were not surprised to learn from the media announcement last night that the SPFL have finally acknowledged Rangers legitimately engaged rule i7 in June of last year and thus, vindicated the stance held by the club for over a year. It is not for us to speculate as to why the SPFL leadership sought to ignore their own rules for so long. “The fact that the SPFL prevaricated and continued to stall an arbitration process they themselves initiated in August last year, and which was ruled upon by the court of appeal in October, underlined the weakness of the case they truly had. Were it not for our interim interdict, it is clear their strategy was to try and bully one of their members and shareholders; a strategy which they have employed on numerous occasions. “Throughout the last year, Park’s have kept their counsel as the SPFL leadership insulted us and misled the SFA, their member clubs, their title sponsor, and various other stakeholders in Scottish football. “We have a long standing and proud association with Scottish football, and it was entirely wrong that we were compelled to take the SFA to court because the SPFL decided to abuse the SFA’s arbitration process. We believe that the SPFL and members of its leadership have brought the game in to disrepute and have failed, as have the SPFL as an organisation, to act with the utmost good faith towards their members. “The SFA must carry out an independent investigation into this issue which has cost all parties involved hundreds of thousands of pounds. Despite being awarded expenses in court, Park’s will not recover all their legal fees nor be compensated for the reputational damage caused by the SPFL. “Finally, the glaring omission from the SPFL’s statement was an apology. The SPFL leadership owe their members an apology, they owe Park's an apology, they owe the SFA an apology and they also owe an apology to Rangers. Unfortunately, they seem to lack any accountability and would rather spend their members money than admit their failures.” Well, Munich it ain't. Splendid stuff, and it makes a welcome change from the anodyne 'statements' we have, too often, suffered in the past. I do wonder where Parks/Rangers go from here, as it would be shameful to let things slip now. The problem, of course, is that of ploughing the lone furrow; the rest have been bribed, or blackmailed, or browbeaten, or buggered bow-legged by the fhilth cabal, so it is difficult to gauge support for future manoeuvres. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I disagree. The Club,however, should, at least, remain open to suggestions/approaches from any other disaffected or victimised Clubs, or engage where it sees a clear benefit/advantage to do so. The statement from Parks is really about Parks, subtext: 'You can fuck with Rangers but don't you dare fuck with my family and our business'. On the other hand, I suppose that a separate entity can go in a little harder. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
