Wonder why they won't give Kenny Miller a contract?

I'm warming to the idea, but would there not be a legal issue here? Restraint of trade, for example?

I don't think so. Professional sport is treated differently in many ways already with the transfer window, financial fair play rules, size of squad restrictions, having to have youth players in the squad, discrimination against females etc.
A genuinely competitive league would be the best thing that could happen to the game here. A two horse race was rubbish but the one horse race we now have will make us an even bigger laughing stock.
The bigger clubs will still have an advantage because they will have better coaches, facilities, nutritionists and the a better academy set up. But there will be scope for Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen etc to win titles. It would reinvigorate the game.

Seems incredible if that is the case as he is their best player by a mile. Would take him here in a minute IMO.

Rumour has it he has been approached by us? Anyone shed any light on it

[Betty Boop]

He's going to be player/manager next season.

He could definitely do a job for us.

If we strap him to the front of the east stand roof in august his big shiny napper should scare the sea gulls away.

Punishment for his Mrs letting the side down in the aftermath of Assaultgate, by telling the truth.

...which begs the question....

Do we...as Hibs supporters...want to be competitive in a poor league? Or nowhere in a league, of whom 1 or 2 teams do moderately well in Europe?

Don't think that's the choice.Why can't we be one of the teams that does moderately well in Europe?

I've asked that question for years CWG. Based on some of your other posts you will remember how much fun it was to be winning near every game the last time we were relegated, and it's a good feeling this season (in spite of the normal online hystericals when we concede to Ayr United). Are you looking forward to a (possible) midtable position next year playing Partick, Hamilton etc etc? I know I'm not........

Meanwhile

Focus on the real issues at ibrox people!!

TBH the first thing I thought when I heard that Barrie McKay had worn green boots was that this SNP/ IRA conspiracy to crush Rangers, The Rangers, their fans, protestantism and their traditions in general must be gathering momentum.

Ironically, it's such opinions which hold the Hun support together. Nasty, paranoid and bigoted pish. The fact it's allowed to remain on the forum is very telling of the mindset of so many of them. They are a poison within society.

Dear oh ****ing dear The paranoia and delusion has well and truly taken over now. What a quivering, pathetic mess they are. As I said before, their "everybody is picking on poor rangers, everybody us out to get us" act was funny at first, now it's genuinely worrying.

They are a shell of their former selves, the club they used to be died in more ways than one. Much like the yams, this live within your means business is taking a long time to sink in. They cheated, stole, used corrupt underhand tactics and lived well well beyond what they could afford for years and years in order to win trophies and gain an advantage and superiority over everyone else. They lorded up the glory years then the moment justice finally came around and they were punished for what they did it was suddenly the whole "oh it wasn't us, the big boys did it and ran away, we're the victims etc" routine came out. Always everyone else's fault. How dare the other clubs vote the "mighty rangers" out of the league, how dare they not let "the mighty rangers" go unpunished, how dare they have the audacity to not bend over backwards and let "the mighty rangers" sweep all their seedy doings under he carpet and carry on as if nothing has happened.

The Rangers, much like Hearts, would do well to shut up, show a bit of humility and realise they are damn lucky to even still have a club (even if the huns got a new one ) after their shameless years of cheating. Instead they are both back, giving it the big un "this heart still beats" and other such crap and basically a huge 2 fingers up to all the creditors they stiffed and the other clubs they cheated.

Outraged by everything, ashamed by nothing.

Eh? Leeds, Millwall and Chelsea are in three different leagues?

While I enjoy the irony of this coming from Sevconians, doesn't mean I don't agree with it. The game in Scotland would benefit from a salary cap set up.

Will never happen Ozy and I'm not to sure it would benefit Scottish football either.


How much would you limit the cap at ?

[silverhibee]

Exactly. It's just not feasible. Far too many questions to be asked on that topic. Huge can of worms imo.

Clubs would still get round the wage cap by putting other things in to a players contract, will never happen.

Finally.

It's not clear from that report, but IMO this will be about the undervaluing of the assets.

Is there any possibility at all that BDO would ever consider a claim against the SFA for any involvement they had during the administration period?

It's not that difficult TBH. Benefits and perks are generally taxable, so by using the same approach, those "other things " would be part of the capped amount.

Only if there was a perceived loss to the creditors. Struggling to see one at the moment, but feel free

Clubs in Australia try it all the time and are always caught and the penalties are severe. There is not a lot a player will accept in lieu of cold hard cash anyway.

What a spider's web of bad behaviour. Ego, greed and corruption all interwoven into an unseemly shambles.

It's nice

The "five way agreement" has been deemed very dodgy in certain circles.

It might be legally, but I can't see how it would affect the creditors.
