none of them think they have, so they obviously don't think they've been punished for it themselves? = ineffective punishment!Quote:

Make No Mistake if The old Rangers are not punished they will keep on doing this until they are still bringing Scottish football into disrepute and will end up going back into Scottish football and because they have not been punished ( a £250,000 fine that's never been paid is not a punishment, it's another sign of their contempt) and it will be everyone's fault on here.

I aggressively put my point of view across that differs from yours but it's ok for you to do that?
So if I offended I will publicly apologise now online ( I sir do apologise for calling you a Rangers fan) even though I said I believe you to be one or a Jambo. Mate I've been a Hibs fan all my life and I go to every game home away the lot but you are the first Hibs fan that has in my knowledge stuck up for them. Also in one of your post back earlier you called Celtic the tims there's not many Hibs fans I know that have called them that in years.

Hibs0666 you may have missed this one but I agree with the above. Our game has got far more competitive and no longer is it just the OF dominating. The tragic thing is we've been down here for two seasons not taking advantage of it (bloody butcher!!)Quote:

I just wish that a small percentage of the effort that goes into investigating/ discussing the RIPFC debacle would go into looking in depth at the dodgy dealings of our neighbours. Nothing bugs me more than hearing a yam taking the moral high ground on this.Quote:

Agreed though.. My yam mates generally know to keep a bit quiet on this topic with me!
House of cards though... enough digging and the spotlight will eventually shine on the Yams. I'm not giving up hope on that yet!
Whenever I see a yam looking for the moral high-ground I just laugh or snort disdainfully. I've given up on explaining that the only difference between them is the old Rangers died during the season while hertz lied about their situation to avoid relegation.Quote:

Again you say they are dead. More than once you've been corrected on this but seem to willfully ignore the fact that they are not dead, just in liquidation.Quote:

a) the old club is now deid - what more can you do to a corpse?
b) the new club has been fined for the failure to disclose side letters - you might not like the punishment, but there is no point in arguing that there has been no punishment
c) the new club has not played in top-flight football for 4 seasons - same as above
And I don't care about your apology to be honest - you shot from the hip without knowing the first thing about me and that is just rank bad patter.
What do you want to achieve by chasing old Rangers through the courts - it is already deid! And the characters involved in this sorry saga will have their days in court soon. Again - what more do you want beyond what is already happening?Quote:

The old Rangers cannot keep doing anything - it's deid! Going forward is much more important. Unfortunately we would all rather focus on the past rather then focus our energies on making Scottish football better.Quote:

Jeezo I'm not sticking up for that mob and, believe me, there is nothing better than sticking it up them. However, this is now a little historic sideshow when compared to the real problems afflicting our game in the here and now, and that need to be addressed with urgency.Quote:

In law and business, liquidation is the process by which a company (or part of a company) is brought to an end, and the assets and property of the company are redistributed. Liquidation is also sometimes referred to as winding-up or dissolution, although dissolution technically refers to the last stage of liquidation.Quote:

This if not addressed will lead to possibly them or other clubs doing the same again.Quote:

As for shooting from the hip, sorry but if you read my post I left a disclaimer. As I have said it was my opinion just as you are giving your opinion about The Rangers. If you don't want to except my opinion or listen to it that's fine but that means that anyone else does not need to listen to yours either.
I've listened to it and don't agree with it but that's my porogitive as it is with yours to either listen or not.
I opoligised if I offended because no offence was meant however I still am untitled to my opinions and point of views as it is yours to except or not.

My issue with 666's statements is the fact that not only do I want the hun dead, I want their hordes to know it too.
Are you absolutely certain that the old company will never trade again? Do you know how the issue of the ownership of the assets will play out?Quote:

No bother. We agree to disagree and nothing wrong with that.Quote:

By ensuring that all of this comes out in the open we have a fighting chance of creating a level playing field in the game for the first time in yours or my lifetime. Painful though it might be I firmly believe that this is our once in a lifetime opportunity to rid our game of a duopoly spoilling the game for the majority. Healthy honest competition is a spectator sport and an entertainment that has attracted tens of thousands in the past and can again. A business run by a corrupt organisation with self interest at its heart may just have brought our game to the brink of extinction and many still do not see that.Quote:

Now if the SFA and SPFL came out and threw their hand up, said that a line was drawn and that they accepted past practice was unacceptable, with assurances that the field would be level going forward, then I think I could move on regardless of whether there was retrospective punishment. Sadly I think we need the present painful process to get us there.

I've never challenged the fact you're genuine hence my continuing incredulity at your stance. You choose to accept one part of LNS judgement, the £250k ( unpaid ) fine, but not his statement that The Rangers are the same club! You can't really rely on part of his report to support your argument but ignore the major part that doesn't! About 3 pages ( seems like a week ago ) back I said I agreed your points 1 & 2, that was a typo, I meant 2 & 3, ie Sevco must pay the fine now & a proper system of governance must be established. I worked in financial governance for many years & our starting point was almost always a look back at prior failures. That's why the same thing should happen with this sorry saga including a review of the cover-up which was the LNS report. It's not just punishment for The Rangers that I want, I think it's essential that the roles played by people such as Campbell Ogilvie, Regan, Doncaster et al be exposed to proper scrutiny & censure/action if appropriate.
PS, The £250k fine was imposed on The Rangers by LNS for failing to declare side letters to what was at that time deemed to be a legal tax avoidance scheme. ( or rather Oldco were deemed to have been in compliance with the rules of such a scheme, which they clearly were not - the loans were never intended to be repaid ). In light of the current status of EBT's would you accept that punishment for The Rangers could & should have been greater? Mind you, as they continue not to pay the £250k, & how do they get away with that?, it probably doesn't matter. As I said earlier true Armageddon occurs when the rule of law breaks down & that's been pretty much the attitude of The Rangers for the last 3 years.
But you're not offering a way to achieve that. Simply putting our head in the sand and saying "well that was all a bit dodgy" then carrying on as before cannot be an option. The beaks have had nothing to say on this and if they say and do nothing then they must be made to do soQuote:
