  1. My understanding os they need 8 clubs to say yes , only 4 to say no for them to be demoted.?
  2. The real concern I think is they will still be in SPL next season. I hope I am wrong , will they get 8 votes they need ?
  3. Now reported in BBC & other media .. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18464359
  4. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2012/06/15/st-mirren-supporters-move-closer-to-club-ownership-as-takeover-group-hits-target-86908-23896379/
  5. I could not go in at the level you did , however chose an amount I felt comfortable with
  6. If justice is to be done Sid , then Div 3 should be the punishment which in theory should appease fans of all clubs. I hope that next week is not the letdown as they are thrown a final lifeline.
  7. As Rangers are on the preverbial life support machine , which will be soon be switched off , should they not be given the "last rights"
  8. NO club are allowed to sign players while in admistration as a rule , however & heres the thing there are* circumstances* where it would be sanctioned. Its simply astonishing how badly handled this has been , bottom line is - the ONLY punishment that will be acceptable is the one Rangers agree to , as anything else will be appealed & they usually get there way. I think as I have said from the start , Rangers will be functioning as normal or as close to normal in SPL next season as that is how it looks to me. I hope I am wrong.
  9. If I was a creditor , I would be saying "Hang on a minute , if you reckon you have £10m guaranteed & claim another £20m is on its way , then throw that into the pot to pay us back" Seems they are operating as normal regardless of what is going on around them. The CVA looks like it`ll be approved according to them , they are in talks about players/budgets , they do NOT fear the SPL or SFA - Rangers are deciding their own fate/punishment , business as usual according to them. Beggars belief !
  10. Strangely enough , I was working in Bradford today & a Rotherham fan I know mentioned this to me in amonst other things we were discussing !! Rotherhams new stadium is stunning btw
  11. Was the case not due to be heard by the appeal panel again today ? I thought they were meeting to impliment new sanctions today ? Of course Rangers will decide if they are suitable as usual but if not today when is new date ?
  12. I will win euromillions this week , buy back Love Street & build us a nice stadium with fans input & supporters bars all stands A nice design , good for atmosphere & a FREE season ticket for every saints fan for 1st season *including Shull*
  13. SFA , AGM tomorrow & appeal panel sit Friday.
  14. So , here we are yet again, another week where the governing bodies & appeals panel will be sitting to discuss this situation. Does anyone think there will be a final outcome this week ? Does it make any difference as it will only be appealled anyway ? What`s your best guess as to the final outcome ? I think Rangers will be in SPL next season , functioning as normal or as close to normal as is possible , with the least sanction applied.
  15. The SPL & SFA have both been found wanting to say the least , 2 disfunctional , incompetent governing bodies , its a wonder they still have jobs ! I wish I shared the positive vibes of some people , who actually believe proper sanctions will be dealt. I still feel they wil be in SPL next season with new players.
  16. Also BBC report ; SPL allow flexibility for 'glamorous and lucrative matches' Both halves of the Old Firm will be allowed to postpone their Scottish Premier League fixtures on the weekend of 11/12 August to play friendlies. Rangers and Celtic will both be scheduled to play at home that weekend. Celtic have announced plans to face Spanish champions Real Madrid in the United States on 11 August. "Any other club scheduled to play at home that weekend will also be offered the same flexibility," said a spokesperson for the league. "The SPL Board is mindful of the benefit to Scottish football as a whole of its clubs participating in glamorous and lucrative matches against some of the world's highest-profile clubs. "The SPL has therefore confirmed that, in line with an SPL Board decision taken in November 2011, Celtic FC and Rangers FC will be scheduled to play at home on the weekend of 11/12 August 2012. "Both clubs will be allowed to postpone their games that weekend in order to play in friendly matches."
  17. Newsnight tonight 11pm ..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-18287971
  18. I`m well upto date with the goings on , it just seems that the authorities are inept at handling their own policies & procedures. Therefore I fully expect Rangers to be functioning in the SPL as normal next season. That in no way means I wish or want that to happen , I am dissillusioned by the lack of sanctions
  19. They will be functioning as normal next season in SPL , any other thoughts I imagine are just fantasy.
  20. I think Rangers will be in SPL next season - the punishment albeit for what it was , is the 10 pt deduction they have had. Thats it , no more to add. Cant see them being demoted or expelled. The fine which they have no money to pay & 10 pt loss was it it seems. The European ban was a seperate issue , but Scottish authorities seem to have done all they wish to do ( albeit badly)
  21. Looks like The SFA cant impose their own sanctions The appeals can be appealed & overturned. The tax avoidance is irrelevant The authorities make an exception so ONLY Rangers can compete without a licence The SPL say its ok they can come back in unscathed Basically its upto Rangers themselves to decide the outcomes. The keep missing all deadlines & being allowed "grace" Terrible news all round. As regards to a possible vote tomorrow? Whats the point ? If its not delayed at Rangers request as usual there seems no sanctions will now be in place.
  22. In simple terms, its basically Rangers calling ALL their own shots ! Not to mention a quick meeting with Celtic for support before Wednesdays meeting.
  23. Sid , simply astounding , really another sad inditement of our game.
