    Basically Ashley telling King to put up or shut up.
    Can't wait for the latest self-congratulatory blog from Phil MacGobsh*** giving us the inside scoop on this.

    Another helping hand for Sevco from the SFA


    http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/r...-from-rangers/


    Seems the SFA have over-ruled their own panel and docked Alexander his £ 84 K.

    Something to do with the other goalie not leaving the Club because he did'nt TUPE over.

    Surely they did not say they were different Clubs !!!

    The spineless bunch at the SFA should be stating that The Rangers must sort this mess out with their dual ownership situation before a decision is made! Like Ashley is saying....Put up or Shut up!

    Seems bloody obvious too me!

    Ha ha! Couldn't make it up...... It was always just a matter of time when they catch themselves out
    Either it's the same club and he's due the money or it's a new club and the contract doesn't stand. #newhun !

    Dave King ruled fit and proper.

    Rangers: Dave King passes SFA 'fit and proper person' test

    Dave King is free to take up the chairman's role at Rangers after being passed "fit and proper" by the Scottish Football Association.
    He led a successful bid to oust the previous board at Ibrox in March.
    However, the governing body needed time to assess King's suitability, given his tax convictions in South Africa.
    The fact he sat on the Rangers board prior to administration and subsequent liquidation was also taken into consideration.
    Acting chairman Paul Murray, who was also on the board prior to administration, had his position as a director ratified by the SFA on 1 May.
    The SFA works from a set of guidelines for all office bearers within Scottish football, with the onus on clubs to provide any information that would require investigation.
    Failure to meet the listed criteria does not automatically exclude an individual from taking up a position.
    More to follow...

    The embarrasment of Scottish football has just sunk to a new level!

    If somebody like DK had applied at any club outside of the old firm....He would of been instantly rejected!

    The SFA statement spells out precisely and transparently how they reached their decision.........the old 'supplementary documentation' defence. Ha ha ha.

    Truly, what is the point of this test if an individual like Mr King is considered fit and proper? What exactly do you have to be to fail the test...an axe murderer?

    Should rename it fit, proper and true Rangers man test.

    Impeccable timing. Massive boost for Sevco 24 hours before one of their most important games for years. The SFA or whatever their name is now, are v****n.

    Am I right in thinking he will have to be an absentee chairman? If he stays here for longer than a specific period he qualifies as a UK taxpayer and will have to pay HMRC? Oh wait a minute ......

    My thoughts exactly.

    It's too much of a coincidence for it not to be a coincidence.

    Not really, but don't know how they could have possibly delayed the announcement any longer. The decision is already about 2 years late*


    * prone to exaggeration, have not bothered dig out the timescales of when his takeover was first mooted.

    Lets be frank, the Scottish football establishment will do what ever is necessary to have rangers in the top division, by hook or by crook. There is no point in beating yourselves up over this issue, its head against brick wall stuff.

    You might be pretty but this is all grist to the mill in the conspiracy to get them back to the Premiership this year. I think you might find we're farting against thunder in the next two games. I'd love to see them fail but in the unlikely event of that happening, reconstruction will happen. If they make it right through on the pitch, with a little help from their friends, reconstruction will be put on ice for another few years.

    It is to be used only when it concerns teams who do not play their home games at Parkhead or Ibrox

    As if this was ever in doubt.


    The only reson it took so long was that the SFA wanted to be seen to be actually deliberating over it.

    Absolute farce. We all knew it would happen though. What is the point in having this test if people like this can pass?

    As someone else said above, they are welcome to him though. They'll be in administration again within two years.

    So, a 'glib and shameless liar' according to a South African judge but a proper person to be running a Scottish professional football club according to our authorities.

    What is it with Rangers and these absolute shysters? They're a constant reminder that sc*m does well and truly attract sc*m.
