The SPL have, bizarrely, shown integrity. They kept out SevCo and had a democratic vote on who should replace the now bankrupt Rangers.
It's Neil Doncaster as an individual who has shown no integrity. And I reckon that a number of SPL clubs were applying undue pressure to the SFL to admit Newco to Div 1. As for the vote to admit Dundee to the SPL, it was probably the correct decision, because SPL rules state that when a team finishes bottom they cannot reapply for membership unless the club that is set to replace them cannot take part due to ground standards. Dundee of course way exceed these. But due to the exceptional circumstances that the bankruptcy of Rangers this season, I feel that if sporting integrity was to be upheld, then a sporting solution was required. There was IMO enough time to either stage a two legged match at East End and Dens or a one off game at McDiarmid Park between the two sides. This would surely have kicked any argument about this into the long grass. |

If deal cant be reached for Rangers to play, it could put the SFL and the SPL under.
The SPL saying they cant afford to pay the SFL the money they owe them unless they get money from Rangers media rights in the 3rd DIV. Does that mean if the SPL cant pay the bill, they go under? Does that also mean the SFL couldnt afford to run without the money? i dont know, all i know is it aint good for Scottish football. |

Under terms devised by the English FA(as one would fully expect of course....) OK, it's a total p***take, but I feel that stranger things have happened in this game..... Any better ideas??? |

I really want the SFL to get the money from this, it would be great to see some of the lower clubs get a go at some good attendance figures and TV money, build up their stadiums and teams to a higher level.

Depends on whether the TV companies wish to give all their spare buttons and washers to the SFL sorry to say.
Sorry, but this is big money here. |

If EBTs are used to pay employees and avoid paying tax on wages then that is illegal. That is what Rangers did. You don't need a vast knowledge of Scottish Football for that. Was it not Papac who stopped being paid appearance money because the EBT was covering that part of his salary?
Of course once you can do this then the thread can move forward - I trust your googling skills should meet the required task quite easily as you seem to know what you are talking about ... ho hum. ![]() Unfortunately your posts have proved pretty much to be along the lines of a Man United fan posting in a forum that you really shouldn't be posting in ... as your interest for Scottish football is zilch, but you think you can take a cheap shot at Rangers ... prove me wrong ... and back it up old bean.

You really are pathetic to use child abuse as a form of whataboutary. Utter disgrace.
Your club (and fans) have to deal with the fall out of this like adults and not try and start sweeping what happened under a carpet ... it happened - it was covered up .... deal with it. ![]() This is not a point scoring exercise but after some of the shit that has been posted against my club I almost certainly aint gonna sit back and take it.

Sorry why should Rangers fans be accused of this when your club systematically covered it up from the top to the very bottom ... explain please or is it a simple case of sweep, sweep.

Rangers, the football club is now owned by Sevco as the assets were purchased from a company that is being liquidated.
If I sell my car to another owner because I am skint, should I rip up the log book and service history? ![]() ![]() Quote:
But the fact remains his accusations were correct.

Sorry Cantona - please don't post your opinion as fact - direct us to the findings that say Rangers administered the EBT's illegally - that is the gist of it don't try and cloud it.

![]() If I was to retort in a similar way I'd ask you for your opinion about Charles Dougan's wife who sued Rangers after he died in the second Ibrox disaster, the 4th incident in 10 years after incidents in 1961, 1963 and 1969 and was awarded £26,261. The Sheriff said "the accident was due to the fault and negligence of the defenders" with the defenders being Rangers. Killed your own fans. |

All I'm doing is commenting on what i think is a massive story for Scottish football. If I've got any of the story wrong I'm happy to be corrected by you or anyone else, I'm not precious about it. I assumed that getting a large tax bill indicated tax avoidance in the past but again happy to be corrected. I would have thought that the current mess the club (in whatever guise it currently takes) is in was a fairly big indicator of wrong-doing on an absolutely mahoosive scale. You don't go from being the cock of the walk to well, just cocks in the space of a few weeks without some pretty major wrongdoing. |

Im Scottish, i live in Scotland, Ive been to Ibrox numerous times. The last one being the legends game - you should bring Albertz and Gio back, they would rip up Div 3.

You don't go from being the cock of the walk to well, just cocks in the space of a few weeks without some pretty major wrongdoing. However HMRC have found that Rangers have missused the EBT scheme, so from that point of view they have been found 'guilty' for use of a better word, by HMRC. The old Rangers have appealed the bill they were handed by HMRC, they are not appealling their 'guilt'. All we are waiting for is the appeal tribunal deciding how much the old Rangers owe, it may be £5m or it may be £50m, or a figure anywhere in between. The fact that it is taking so long for them to report back suggests to me, without any way of knowing, that there is something much greater going on with this appeal, and the authorities may be looking at certain individuals and at something far more corrupt than just the missuse of EBT's. But that is just me speculating. |
