Traynor is a fat idiot. Fact. End of.
Thank f*** we aren't paying him through the TV license anymore!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would say Jabba slandered this company in his rant so maybe grounds for damages against the sevs. I'd be instructing my lawyers to sue them for full payment, damages and costs.

The Scottish Football Association is suing former Rangers owner Craig Whyte over a £200,000 unpaid fine for bringing the game into disrepute.
Whyte, who was banned for life from any involvement in Scottish football, has ignored requests to pay the penalty that was imposed in April.
He had failed to notify the SFA that he had been disqualified as a director for seven years in 2000.
Whyte was initially fined £50,000, with three identical penalties added.
The additional fines were for separate counts of failing to follow directions from an SFA tribunal, while a charge of acting in an improper manner and against the interests of football was not proven.
At the time of the verdict, Whyte dismissed the fine as "a joke" and said any notion of him being impelled to pay up was "farcical".
And he has previously suggested taking legal action against the SFA on the issue.
Whyte bought Rangers from Sir David Murray for just £1 in May 2011 and was at the helm when the club plunged into administration almost a year ago.
Need to wash my mouth out with soap but excellent article in the Sunday Mail today. They can't finally be twigging whats happening with The Rangers

Of course, they could claim they have been punished enough !
If I were Green, I'd get rid of Sally for not towing the party line. I've never understood their diametrically opposing views of where their club is heading but the boss is the boss ( even if he is a bampot ) and if he has decided their future is abroad who is Fat Sally to disagree?Quote:

apologies for the DR link
Every time I glance at the DR lying about at my work it has a Rangers or Charles Green story on back page or quite often the front, it really is turning into a Rangers fanzine and is largely an irrelevant newspaper imo.
A quick look at this article and I had to laugh at the "whopping" £22m raised in particular reminding me of the "wealth off the radar" piece on Craig Whyte.
These days, honestly, who cares what happens in the Sevco boardroom?
I can't stand the DR either - a paper which has consistently defied the laws of physics by plumeting lower and lower than the absolute zero of balance and objectivity in sports reporting.
But amazingly they are outdone by the ultimate trumpet Charles Green - a "personality" so grating he almost makes me feel physically sick just reading about him! Things like truth and integrity seem to be complete anathema to this guy and, frustrated at his inability to force his fantasy world down the throats of most of the population (Naive Loyal excepted) he seems to be taking out his frustrations on his boardroom colleagues now - toys out of pram is his style and this story is no exception :blah::yawn2::crazy:
Hands up, used tae get the daily record as its also really the only scots newspaper you can get doon here. No any mair. Absolute rubbish and it has quite literally turned tae a sevco fanzine.
"turned in to..." is an interesting choice of words...Quote:

Only around 15 Scottish clubs would have the support to hack it in the Football League. The PL clubs are not particularly keen on Celtic (or even Sevco) coming in. The likes of Hibs, Aberdeen, and the future Sevco West might have something to add but the travelling costs would increase. Even travelling within England is a strain for some League Two clubs and more so for Conference Clubs.
How about Exeter or Plymouth travelling to a mid-week match in Inverness? There are a lot of mid-week matches in the English lower divisions (46 League matches to fit in!).
Me too. There is now no way anyone but the NewHuns could ever bridge the gap to Celtic. Their wage budget is at least 6 times that of any other SPL club. Yet they can't compete in Europe because the Scottish tv audience is tiny. UEFA need to realise that the small countries can't compete and merge things into regional leagues: Germany-Austria-Switzerland, France-Holland-Belgium, Spain-Portugal, Scotland-England-Wales-Ireland with an appropriate regional pyramid underneath each top league.Quote:

Can you expand on that?Quote:

That is certainly not true. Hibs, for one.Quote:

Hibs are consistently losing £1 million a year and need to flog at least a player a season to balance the books! If the SPL started with 12 teams and 2 folded, the league would become a total farce.Quote:
Originally Posted by CropleyWasGod
No they're not. The loss in the accounts was £900k, the majority of which was depreciation. The club operates a break-even policy, which means we spend what we take in. That is sustainable, in my book.Quote:

It would also be the end of the Scottish national side, we would have to support a UK side with 3 lions on the shirt and probably the Lion Rempant on the Subs tracksuits.
If Green thinks its a good idea its because there is money in it for Rangers, and ,most importantly, for himself.
Touch nothing Green advocates, he is poison. Ask any Sheffield United fan !
Well, over the last five years, I'm seeing a club with an operating loss of £7.7 million (that has been offset by £8.7 million in player sales) and a debt that has increased by £3.6 million as a result. I still don't see that as a sustainable situation.Quote:

Green doesn't seem to comprehend that any chance of a league merger down south went when the cretins he plays up to made a mess of Manchester city centre a few years back. That's the average confusion of the Hun. Make a shame of themselves when playing in England and then expect the English leagues to welcome them with open arms
Unfortunately that model doesn't work any more.Quote:

That's not nice for the punter, of course, but if all of our competitors are doing it then Hibs are well-placed to be relatively successful.Quote:

Looking forward to this immensely.
It has been very queit about this decision. Makes me think CG knows what the result is and it's favourable to them (i.e. a bit of a telling off, but no trophy loss) - otherwise I'm sure he would have been mouthing off about them being victims etc etc ad nauseam.Quote:
