glasgow sheep Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 In all this "we need rangers" bullshit, has anyone ever asked what it would take for these guys to say Rangers should be booted out the league? How far would they have to go before the assorted Scottish media and football establishment felt that perhaps rangers had gone too far? Quote

Kowalski Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 Sandy Jardine has pleaded with football authorities not to cripple Rangers, saying they were a club that paid their bills prior to Craig Whyte's arrival. The Fans Fighting Fund figurehead was speaking the day before an appeal is expected to be lodged against Scottish FA sanctions. A fine and year-long signing ban were imposed for misdemenours following Whyte's takeover of the Ibrox club. "We know we've done wrong, but it has to be measured," said Jardine. "We've been decapitated. When Craig Whyte came in, basically all the senior directors were dismissed and Craig Whyte has vanished, along with his people. Continue reading the main story "Craig Whyte decimated Rangers but also had a big impact on Scottish football. His actions have impacted hugely on Rangers but also on Scottish football. "I realise that the players did nothing wrong, the supporters did nothing wrong, the staff did nothing wrong. "But we have to have some sort of punishment because it has to be a deterrent." Former Rangers defender Jardine on Saturday led a match of thousands of fans to the SFA offices at Hampden to protest at the severity of the punishment after being charged with bringing the game into disrepute. "When Rangers fans get riled, they're a big beast and I've never known the anger from the supporters in all my time at the club, and I'm talking nearly 50 years, at what they term unjust sanctions laid down to us," he told BBC Scotland. "The Fighting Fund will fund a QC to represent the club and, once we hear the actual list of sanctions and how they arrived at that decision and when the appeal date is, then the Fighting Fund will announce the QC who we'll appoint to represent the club." Jardine reiterated the line that Whyte was a rogue element who distorted Rangers' good record of paying their debts to other clubs and eventually landed the club in administration. "We always paid our bills," he said. "We were appalled that we found out that all these bills hadn't been paid. "If everybody says we've never said sorry, I'll say sorry, but the person that should be saying sorry is Craig Whyte. "We're sorry that we took Craig Whyte on for what he did to everybody. "The club had a problem and, to be honest, we were trading out of our problem, but Craig Whyte came in. "He used the supporters money to buy the club, he used the staff's money to fund the club and didn't pay a bill. "It's been so embarrassing and humiliating for a football club that always prided itself in doing the right thing, always paid its bills." Jardine warned that Rangers might prefer to play in Division Three than in the Scottish Premier League should the penalties for doing so be too great. "If they mean that we can't sign any players, they don't understand that our players could leave," he said. "So what they're saying is that they make us non-competitive. "Well, if we're non-competititve in the SPL, there is a feeling now that we'll take our punishment, we'll go to the Third Division. "It'll buy us time to maybe re-group, start to try and re-invest in players and work our way up." So it's all Craig Whyte's fault is it? Away to fuck. Shower of cunts. Quote
BigAl Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 What a pile of utter shite. Paying their bills before Whyte took control....I don't think so. All Whyte's fault....don't think so, Murray couldn't get out the door quick enough with his £1. Need to fund the cost of a QC.......would have thought that such is the loyalty of their support, that there would be some bent Masonic QC prepared to work for nothing for the cause. Sanctions making then non competitive.......M'mmm tough shit Sandy, you've enjoyed an unfair competitive advantage for long enough anyway, welcome to the other side of the coin. Rather play in Third Division than accept sanctions and remain in SPL.....jog on Huns, think we'd all be happy enough with that. Quote

bilbobaggins Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 I see BBC have the official attendance of their match last night at 43,383. From the few minutes I saw on television I'd argue that was shite and that they actually do do walking away. Quote

I get the feeling they added the season tickets holders plus those who gave their giro money to get in. Quote

BobbyBiscuit Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 Liquidation Bye Bye RFC Yip. He'll strip them of their assets and fuck off. Huns are supposedly going to be/have been protesting against him. I do wonder though if due diligence will be done on this guy as all signs point to him being as big a wide boy as Whyte. Isn't it strange as well that he's so keen on buying the huns but hasn't once bothered his arse to visit the place? Quote

He's the one that sai'd be asking for written confirmation from the league that no more penalties would be forthcoming. The vote on penalties was delayed earlier this week, then he gets preferred bidder status? Monday's meeting to discuss financial fair play is gonna be very interesting now... Quote
Penfold Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 Is he "fit and proper"? The signs point to no. Quote
