That was not the case when Falkirk failed the ground requirements in 2002-3.Quote:

I have a feeling that Aberdeen who finished bottom in 1999-2000 should have gone through a play-off with Falkirk (3rd in the SFL1). That was the year that the SPL was expanded from 10 to 12. They got off the hook because of Fakirk's stadium.
Short answer, no.Quote:

Has Ross County not applied to share ICT's ground next yea? I should imagine permission will be a formality.
They have the alterations under way but they will not be completed by the cut-off date but should certainly be ready for next season.Quote:

I don't see an issue with Ross County.
So that's Kennedy finished. Is he going to buy Hibs instead? :devil:
This talked about party in Singapore. Anyone have info regarding how serious they are?
Not sure if already posted but, Duff and Duffer are on course to cost Rangers up to 3,000,0000 quid in Administration Costs. The calculation is based on them being in Administration until July, which I doubt, but if so, it would wipe out totally any savings made by reducing the players wages.
Going by that calculation, they must have cost rangers a good million quid at least by now
Dontcha just LOVE these people :greengrin
SFA hearing adjourned till 17th, 18th and 19th of April at the behest of CW's lawyers. Procedural hearing set for the 6th which CW is expected to attend.
Also D+P seem to be getting panicky. CW won't sell his shares to the Blue Knight/Paul Murray consortium, and they've rejected Brian Kennedy's bid, apparently wanting a buyer in place by Wednesday. **** creek beckons.
Any delay can only add to the uncertainty for bidders.Quote:

The last time he showed an interest in Hibs was just after relegation.Quote:

Just three years later and Rangers are almost down the pan. At the time that he was making these b*ll*x claims, he must have known Rangers were already in trouble, yet the media just all lapped it up, as per usual.
Even the Administrators are at it now!

It's quite amazing what a few weeks can bring!Quote:

If the SFA agree to this and see it as actions of an individual they might as well rip up the rule book?
The SFA have already stated that they have neither the resources nor the time to vet every appointment at every member club, and they have over 100 clubs as members. They rely on each club to do its own checks and then vouch for the appointment, which is why the Huns can't simply claim Whyte misled them.
I'm still astonished that Duff and Duffer (as supposedly serious admins) came out with the phrase "Craig Whyte is irrelevant to Rangers future", he being the owner and majority shareholder of the football club, and the guy who paid to inherit (and then further scam) the broken and bankrupt company that David Murray had already taken to its knees, via HMRC.Quote:
