AND the fact that if you read what's said and any of the actual quotes.... Taking out the rags own spin..... You find that their meltdown stories are based on Sky walking away this season.Quote:

It's not bollocks. Just look at some of the 'reporting' of this fiasco, scaremongering, entirely fictitious figures being portrayed as fact, etc. Either you work for one of these rags or are at the wind-up.Quote:

Take your pick.
Albeit not a newspaper, STV had Craig Whyte deducting VAT from players' wages. :greengrinQuote:

Take the Daily Records story on Leigh Griffiths headbutt for example. They were forced to retract their statement and issue an apology to the club after they were informed that it never happened and couldn't provide any evidence that it did happen.
brian mclauchlin@BBCBMcLauchlinCharles Green and Ally McCoist arrive at Hampden for SPL agm
Craig Ewing@CraigyBhoy88Why is Green and McCoist at the SPL meeting, they are an SFL club so have no right to be there
:worried:
The oldco will still have a share in the SPL, until it's transferred to either Dundee or Dunfermline.Quote:

Rangers are being represented at Monday’s annual general meeting of the Scottish Premier League.
STV understands Charles Green is at Hampden with Ally McCoist, as the SPL has so far failed to request Duff and Phelps to relinquish the company’s member share. The member clubs of the league voted against the newco Rangers assuming the old company’s share at a ballot on July 4.
Under the SPL’s rules, the old company should have ceased to be entitled to hold a share on that date, as they had already ceased to be the owner and operator of a club.
Nobody at the SPL was available for comment at the time of publication.

This is unbelievable :grr:
Grant Russell@STVGrantOldco had vote on share transfer. Presumably they'll have voting rights today as well and decide which club, if any, replaces them.
why have they invited them then if it has f all tae dae with them?Quote:

It makes a total mockery of Scottish Football that the owner and manager of a 3rd division team are at the SPL meeting.
I appreciate what you're saying, however for me it's just badly worded (not your post BTW), the meaning is crystal clear though no way back for oldco/newco FC. And that's what really matters.Quote:

It cannot be Inverness or St Mirren because they have much smaller stadia. It obviously is not the reason for Rangers' economic difficulties because the development was carried out many years ago. Nor for that matter Celtic because the 60,000 seater stadium was build 15 years beack before Fergus McCann handed over a debt free club to the new owners.
The only sizable development at Motherwell took place in the mid 1990s. St Johnstone's stadium was built in the 1980s. Dundee United's development largely took place in the 1990s. Finally Aberdeen have had no development since the early 1990s.
The fact that SPL clubs are in financial trouble is nothing to do with stadia. It is all to do with paying too much money for players. So clubs cannot blame the SPL or the SFL for current finacial problems.
Both events taking place today I think. Was in papers over weekend?Quote:

Anyhting less would be a joke.Quote:

As it stands it has all been mixed up and mixed in to various different decisions and proposals. Someone needs to take this by the baws now and make pretty clear what is happening, when and why.
Scottish Sun reporting today that D3 clubs will need to stump up £50,000 to cover the costs of cops of to "baby sit" the Rangers fans on each visit.
Simple answer is then dont invite them, they wont be losing out much anyway.
And does this mean we will save £100K by not playing them, not to mention the savings in domestos and air freshner?
Bet you Regan and Doncaster didnt have this in their Armageddon Powerpoint presentation.
How is it that when lower league teams drew Rangers in the cup it was a nice money spinner for them despite only getting half the gate, yet when they get them twice at home in the league and get all the takings we get stories about them being crippled by policing costs.
More media bull****.
