Agreed, there has been an incredible amount of bluster from all and sundry since day 1. Topping's resignation is significant I think - May have to give him some credit for being able to see which way the winds blowing and ducking out, think Doncaster is hanging himself out to dry.

Wont be surprised if UEFA step in though I actually think the SFA will finally do their job, no matter what the SPL (Doncaster) tries.

Just have to wait and see, plenty left to run in this though

That clip is the gift that keeps giving. Epitomises the utter lack of self-awareness that so many huns have in their DNA.

Hopefully Miller will get preferred bidder, drag it out for a few more weeks before failing to pony up the cash. The longer this drags on, the worse things look for the Hun. Still hopeful the BTC verdict will be in soon and lead to yet another slew of damaging revelations. The big boy did it and ran away defence could be left looking even more ****** stupid than it does just now. :wink:

I think that's exactly why he wants to go to the 3rd dividion as they'll romp each league in turn with no pressure to beat ra sellic (unless drawn together in one of the cups) plus he'd win the B&Q cup (or whatever it's called) 3 times, something Celtic will never do. :greengrin

It's like the Titanic movie .....
Cast:
RFC as the "unsinkable" Titanic
SDM as the captain "Full steam ahead & forget those weather reports"
CW as first mate (takes over the helm as soon as the captain spots the iceberg)
HMRC as the iceberg
Celtic as the Britannic (Titanic's sister ship who would later sink just like her sibling)
Other SPL clubs as all the other ships in the Atlantic (who were totally blameless but scorned for not helping Titanic)
Duff and Phelps as the band, playing on and on and on and on and .... as the ship goes down
The Blue Knights/Kennedy/Miller as the lifeboats trying to save the cream and leaving the rest to go down with the ship.

Any more? :dunno:

I hope these quotes are repeated to him endlessly when the Newco are washing their hands of any of Rangers debts or punishments."

He's not done his homework very well as neither of them are newco's

Both emerged from Administration through CVA's, albeit with some corporate restructuring. The one they really should be quoting is Leeds United, they were proper liquidated whilst retaining a league place. :bitchy:

Doncaster will now be bending over and taking it up the rear, Newco straight back into the SPL, Fans views mean nothing to that clown. The SPL is tainted a cheats charter has just been created. :agree:

So the biggest stitch up in the history of Scottish football begins.

I am now convinced that the endgame has begun, and Rangers will get off scot free.

We will look back on this as the day the SPL died.

After hearing Doncaster earlier this week and the press statement today from D&P, I'm afraid you just might be right. There will possibly be a token gesture punishment but if Miller wants the takeover done and dusted BEFORE end of season, then the new financial fair play rules that the SPL will vote on next week will not affect them. The SPL board will have the discretion to accept a newco and transfer of membership, which during the statement by D&P, they made perfectly clear would not be a newco as a result of liquidation.

I feel this is back in the SFA's court and the appeal on the judicial panel sanctions will be now very interesting,

Well they won't matter, as they will presumably try and saddle any and all punishments on to the old club. I'd have thought penalties would be attached to the license rather than the company, but I can see that happening.

So old Rangers will have its fines added to the creditors list, and a totally meaningless 12 month transfer ban, plus whatever gets added on for the dual contracts, while new Rangers carry on where they left off, in fact, stronger than where they left off, buying players and splashing the cash as they like.

It reeks, and I for one won't go near the SPL again.

I think an magical part of the timeline was when Hibs signed Claros after they failed to meet his [his agent/club whatevers] demands.

I think that was a huge wake up call for the follow followers who believed before that they were invicible.

I’m still not too concerned that they’ll be in the SPL next season.

Its all too obvious they have cheated everyone and everything they’ve touched. UEFA will be over this like a rash. Assuming Wild Bill Pickup even gets as far as shelling out a dime.

May'be Vlad is the one creditor who could interdict Huns 1872 from shifting the Club assets away from the debts.

Come on Vlad, here is your chance to boot the Monkeys where it hurts. :agree:

Don't worry the new financial fair play laws will stop it....but only when RFC is saved. :cb

Am I missing something? I thought that Topping remains as SPL Chairman and so has a substantial say in what happens to Rangers?

Correct. He resigned a non-exec position within the SFA, but afaik is still the chairman of the SPL.
