KillkieBoab Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I see from the news that the taxman has returned to haunt Sevco/Oldco or both. Does that give us a chance of the fourth Euro spot if Ceptic win the cup? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44129307 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garvis Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Heard a rumour about a fortnight ago that they were maybe going to struggle getting their European license, as I said it was a rumour. I don’t really know how it works though quite sure some of you guys will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA apparently have yet to confirm They cheated us out of a euro spot in 2012. It would be a bit of karma if we got in this year if they are banned through failing fit and proper finances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The club is unsurprised that it has now finally been accepted by the SFA that the accusations made against the club were groundless. The club questions whether the time, cost and expense of this investigation was justified and was a good use of the SFA’s limited resources. "Disappointingly, and presumably rather than accept that the investigation was a waste of all parties’ time and resources, the club has been served with a new revised Notice of Complaint relating to the monitoring period subsequent to the grant of the UEFA licence. This new Notice of Complaint neglects to properly capture the provisions of prior agreements made between the club and the SFA. "The club will fiercely resist this reconstructed Notice of Complaint. Unfortunately, monies that should be available to Scottish youth and grassroots football will be diverted into another rehearsal of seven-year-old debates on the rights and wrongs of events that the SFA should have prevented at a time when doing so would have served a useful purpose. "It seems that Scottish football is, once again, being directed by individuals intent on harming the Scottish game, Rangers Football Club and its supporters by pursuing a course that has no sensible purpose or reasonable prospect of success." https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-statement-full-club-hit-12541135 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SFA have had to be dragged kicking and screaming to even investigate the matter, they just wanted to sweep it under the carpet. The fact is that Rangers, as they were then called, should never have been awarded a licence for that season, that is an undisputable fact. Either the SFA knews the facts and chose to ignore them or the previous incarnation of Sevco were more than economical with the truth. The court case showed that the tax bill was not 'in dispute' but in fact had been conceded and was outstanding. Compensation should be due to those clubs who suffered as a result of this incompetence / dishonesty (and I know which these I think was far more likely) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we had people with balls in the SFA at the time this situation would not have occurred but the OF centric hierarchy had/has a too cosy relationship with the OF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
