He was either fully involved or beyond incompetent, neither option leaves him smelling of anything flowery...

That's about the size of it. Doesn't do your credibility any good when your only possible defence against corrupt and fraudulent practices is to claim an almost unparalleled ignorance and stupidity.

Yet another investigation time ...

http://www.scotprem.com/content/defa...2&newsid=11135

Into alleged second contracts going right back to the start of the SPL.

This has been discussed on Twitter over the last couple of weeks - RFC could be more than knee-deep in the stinky broon smelly stuff. Cheating the system for all these years.

All very well, but who are they going to ask and how hard are they going to look. Anything not already shredded soon will and I'm sure all the Ibrox legends will have collective amnesia and the agents will hide behind client confidentiality.

SPL will say that nothing could be proved and write some new rules to show they will be tough on cheating in the future.

It is only a month long proposal. Not sure if this is tied in to potential promises made to players should a buyer emerge on March 16th.

Dunfermline being paid flys in the face of a club in administration surely?Whole thing is beginning to emerge as the 'wriggle off the hook' scenario as expected. Something stinks in the state of Ibrox.

Not be long now till Duff and Phelps declare they found a bag of money under a desk and Rangers are actually in profit. Craig Whyte is legit and the moon is made of cheese.

The administrators have been there a couple of weeks now but very little re-structuring has been announced. Their legal duty is to the courts and to try to ensure creditors get their money, so you'd think it inconceivable that their priority is a wriggle off the hook scheme in the interests of Mr Hun, but they must forgive the rest of us for being wary. "Ra big hoose must stay open", as Big Daddy on crutches said outside Ibroke, and could this be where we are being led slowly and gently by the hand? 'National treasure, it must be saved at all costs for the benefit of Scotland, not just Scottish football'. The inaction so far makes me suspicious, though I'm no expert in this field and can only compare Rangers' administration to what happened at other clubs previously.

20 days on and still no redundancies. This truly is one of the most bizarre administrations I've ever witnessed. It's almost as if Whyte is trying his damnedest to kill the club.

Does anybody seriously consider the SPL caplable of running an investigation competently?

A police investigation might get to the bottom of any illegality but what powers do the SPL have to get relevant information? The sound of shredders in the West coast only drowned out by the phone calls frantically being made by Campbell Ogilvie conveniently freed up at the moment from any investigation duties.

I wouldnae trust them tae run a stall at a jumble sale.

I really hope UEFA are keeping both eyes on this for anything that breaches their rules as I wouldnae trust the fitba authorities in this country (tae do the right thing) as far as I could throw a grand piano.

So that's

an investigation by the stock exchange
an investigation by the sfa
an investigation by strathclyde police
an investigation by the insolvency service
an investigation by the spl

I think they should get on the case right away, probably do a better job than the SPL/SFA

I get the feeling that there's such a tangled web of corruption and mismanagement, the administrators have shat it when they've seen the extent of the damage and don't have a clue what to do next. They are obviously terrified of liquidating Rangers and selling off the ground and the assets, and providing the information that will undoubtedly force the police to pursue prosecutions, but seem to be struggling to come up with a viable solution to keep the club going.

I'll bet there are loads of dodgy behind the scenes discussions taking place with SPL, SFA etc.

There was a rather chilling snippet in the Herald this morning that suggested that some SPL clubs were discussing the sanctions being applied to a 'Newco' Rangers being admitted to the SPL. A 'sizable' points deduction and a reduction in broadcasting income were mentioned. So that's all right then.

Meanwhile the SFA are now on the case. Especially with the President Campbell Ogilvie having inside knowledge of Rangers murky tax affairs when he was Company Secretary from 1978 to 2005. He also served as Operations Director and Managing Director at Hearts from 2005 till 2011. He would have certainly been in a position to stop any money laundering or tax evasion at the PBS.

Mr Ogilvie was seen entering Ibrox with a large bucket of whitewash!

Meeting been held at Hampden tomorrow by SPL clubs.

Deluded beyond hearts fans, which says something. They're apparently just going to go to England "and set up there" so that's all ok then.

Its worth a read that thread, if only to see them simultaneously soiling themselves, crying conspiracy (Regan is a plant by Peter Lawell. I was not aware), and still demonstrating that rancid arrogance we've grown to loathe over the years.

To be honest what has significantly changed for your typical Rangers fan? Same manager, same players, same position in league and if anything slightly bigger crowds. Certainly can't say I feel their pain of administration.

Ok what I meant was the police or the judiciary have powes to get certain info during an investigation. What powers do the SPL have? The chances of any SPL investigation getting to the truth will depend on the good will of those participating in it so in other words no chance.
