Or in the case of Steven Davies who is on £28k per week, that'll reduce his basic wage to marginally over £350k per annum. Steven Whittaker will be on a mere £250k per annum......fucking tough life isn't it ::)

 

Probably is if you look like Steven Whittaker.

It is when you are the kind of muppet who spends their entire pay-cheque every month on crap rather than living on the real world.

 

Not so easy to pay for that massive house you dont really use, that bentley which doesnt suit anyone, or that tab at the casino when your pay wont even cover the gas/lec/council tax, insurance/service/petrol, or medical bills when big Del breaks your fingers & legs

The idea of any sort of justice being done was always just a nice delusion.

 

The Scottish Football League (SFL) has no current plans to investigate allegations of 'hidden' contracts at Rangers, STV understands.

 

The club are facing a probe from the Scottish Premier League (SPL) over claims not all payments to players were declared in playing agreements, as per league rules. The Scottish Football Association (SFA) are also looking into the accusations.

 

The SPL's investigation dates back to the inception of the league in 1998, prior to which the Premier Division was controlled by the SFL.

 

Former Rangers director Hugh Adam recently claimed former players were paid using Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs) from the mid-1990s, potentially pre-dating the SPL.

 

The Ibrox side are accused of having used EBTs to play players over and above their contracted salaries, leading to the SPL investigation and a similar SFA case reviewing whether its articles of association were breached.

 

It is understood that, as Rangers are no longer a member club of the SFL, no investigation will be carried out at the present time to establish whether rules were broken leading up to the club's resignation from the league in 1998.

 

Discussions over any possible look into the club's dealings during their time in the SFL are not believed to have taken place, with a preference to allow the SPL and SFA cases to play out before any future inquiry is considered.

 

It is also understood no concerns were raised to the SFL over any allegations of the non-disclosure of payments during Rangers' time in the league.

 

Former Rangers director Adam, who stood down as a director at Ibrox in 2002, insists those in power knew about the extent of the EBTs and even suggested they were being used in the mid 1990s. It was previously thought the trusts were used from 2001 to 2010.

 

"They weren't included in the contracts," Adam told the Daily Mail. "They definitely weren't. That was the whole point of them.

 

"If they'd been included in the contracts, they would have had to have paid tax on them.

 

"I don't think a lot of the other directors knew an awful lot about it. David Murray kept everything to himself.

 

"People never really asked serious questions about them. 'It's perfectly legal,' was what they thought.

 

"You knew it was cheating but some of them not only hoped but believed it was above board.

 

"I don't think they were making a fortune but they weren't costing a lot of money, so no one bothered.

 

"They [EBTs] were always regarded in my time as a bit of a joke. They were getting away with it but nobody really thought they'd get away with it forever."

Apparently Doncaster has made comments on the radio that the Sky deal doesn't infact require there to be 4 Old Firm games a season, which is the reason he gave for the SPL staying at 12/reducing to 10 teams instead of increasing like all the fans polls showed was the fans choice.

BBC saying he (and a number of other players) have asked to be released. Must have clubs lined up (can they even sign for anyone else before summer?)

 

I would guess you can sign for a club if you left a club that's in administration?

 

Otherwise sign on as an amateur or something.
