Back round to Leean Dempster and Rod Petrie ' moving on'. They should have taken this all the way.
I know this has been done to death already but it makes my blood boil.
However, it is nice to know that at least some of the participants are awaiting a call from HMRC.
Reading that article in the Eve Times provides and insight into a non-stop car crash of a club intent on breaking every speed limit out there. It seems they will just do whatever they want and leave the rest up to those taking issue. I'm sure we are in the process of seeing administration or liquidation hence the couldn't care less attitude.
Nothing must be allowed to get in the way of Rod getting that top job at the SFA. No rocking the boat allowed.Quote:

The legal advice iirc was that as there had been an enquiry meant the authorities could not be forced to revisit the issue. If all the clubs had come out for a new enquiry then the SFA would have had to back down.
Good to see this old thread back on it's feet again. :aok:
It's good to see it back bringing bad news for Sevco.Quote:

'Mon then CWG. Tear that one apart or I'm off to pornhub to look up that "orgasm denial" stuff my, ahem, "mate" told me about.
Especially given the narrow terms and evidence that was withheld from the LNS enquiry. The whole thing was a stitch up and unfortunately our club was part of it. The game in Scotland is rigged and there appears to be no way to fix it.Quote:

It was poor presentation of my point on my part. Certainly, I should have added that metaphorically speaking it makes my blood boil. My bad for not painstakingly pointing this out.
Of course there are many things going on in the world which are far more serious and I accept that.
I'm more upset now that you used the term "my bad" tbf.😉Quote:

Pressure building on King as each season passes. Sevco don't have the funds to compete, so look out for some ultra-dodgy financial shenanigans, extra strange SFA/ref decisions over the next 2 years as they try everything legal and illegal to prevent 10 IN A ROW :Quote:

If they really are trying to sign players like Greg Stewart and Hastie from Motherwell then they really are knackered. Decent SPL players but not a chance in hell they are going to elevate Sevco to seriously competing with Celtic.....Quote:

Absolutely - IMHO, the longer Celtc stop Rangers winning something, the better for Scottish footballQuote:

Then we only need Celtic to have a bad season and you'll have 4 or 5 teams capable of winning the league, which is a good position to be in.
I can't see how anyone can catch Celtic without a massive injection of money from somewhere. They are streets ahead on and off the pitch of anyone else in the country.
Rangers can't keep up with them as it is, and so the gap is only going to get bigger.
If that's the case then the SPFL will become nothing but an inconvenience to Celtc as they pursue their dream of Chamion's League group stagesQuote:

The statement from the SPAD said: "The decision taken yesterday by Glasgow City Council and Police Scotland is a clear attack on the Culture and Beliefs of the Protestant people of Scotland and in doing so have created a 'No Go Area' for Protestants.
"The right to assemble in a public place is a key civil and political right, and as such the state has a positive obligation to protect and facilitate and the exercise of that right."

I'm a little surprised that Ashley's team raised the subject. Seems to me to be an open goal for the judge to reduce the amount of damages awarded against Sevco...Quote:

Anyone know what’s going
This appeared today

I'm no expert on this Billy but my understanding was that the only thing to be decided was the level of compensation due to to Mike Ashley from Sevco. If the store is closed then it looks like Sevco have been run over by the Ashley legal team's Armoured Division......Quote:

The Scottish Football Association will make a decision before the end of the year whether to pursue Rangers in connection with "alleged irregularities" in the Ibrox club's application for a UEFA licence in 2011.
Two years ago, the SFA tasked its compliance officer with launching an investigation into the application
Rangers are understood to have had an unpaid tax liability at the time the application was submitted which, had it been disclosed, would have almost certainly voided the application and Celtic would have competed in the early qualifying rounds of the Champions League rather than their Glasgow rivals.
The Light Blues maintain that the "Five-Way Agreement" signed in 2012 by the SFA, Scottish Premier League, Scottish Football League, the old Rangers and the new club set up by Charles Green means that Scottish football's governing body has no jurisdiction in the matter.
Last July, the Association's judicial panel agreed, and indicated that the case would be referred to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Switzerland, if they decided to punish the club.
SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell told The Times: "I would expect that to come back to the board in the not too distant future.
“It [going to CAS] is still under consideration. We’ll come back on that in due course. I wouldn’t want to put a timescale on it... but I don’t think we would let it go for ever.”

It was the SDI store that closed as I understand it, hence I think there has been an agreement reached, albeit I would expect that it cost Rangers dearly. All guesswork on my part though....Quote:
