Would be good if they got fined the max : '10% of its annual worldwide group turnover.' Doubt that would happen. Might just finish them off.

Same club in spirit I’m sure, UEFA, FIFA, SPFL, SFA can have any opinion they like. They can’t change the factual nature of what happened in 2012 though. A new club was voted into the league structure. The Scottish member clubs voted democratically to allow a new club to join & that is key in this. They aren’t special, they don’t get to continue where other clubs did not. Governing bodies opinions on the matter is irrelevant to fact.

Governing bodies opinions on the matter is irrelevant to fact. I don’t have a hang up about the facts of the matter. They are what they are and pretty obvious to anyone who wants to look objectively as to new club v old club. What I found astonishing was the lack of action on trophies won during the time that payments were being made that were treated as non repayable loans for tax purposes. This clearly attracted top quality players and sporting advantage achieved which led directly to trophies won. Yet, according to one judge / sheriff, who agreed that the payments were illegal, no sporting advantage had been obtained. Really? Nonsense. Other clubs, including ours, were disadvantaged. Cups could have been won and prize money increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrin Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Opinions are personal and infinitely flexible. Money-making enterprises of all sorts make outlandish claims about their products: fantasy, deception, lies…. If it seduces the simple/gullible into parting with money, the marketing will say that black is white. Facts are chiels that winnae ding. Rangers died 10 years ago. Reality. FACT.

Our opinions as individuals do not count for much, but UEFA's opinion does matter, as they're the governing body for football in Europe. It isn’t opinion that the process for allowing a new club to join the league was followed. The below are statements of fact - teams finishing 2nd in Scotlands top flight, don’t need to apply for membership the following season - the governing bodies had no power to keep a liquidated member in the league, a new member would have to vote to join as we are members led - the professional league being members led & members overwhelmingly voted (10 to 1 with 1 abstaining in the premier) that new members start at the bottom. This was also the view of the other 30 member clubs who voted democratically. - the 1 vote for, was old Rangers who at the time were still a member. They voted on the new entity taking their place which shows a clear break in history. They couldn’t vote on themselves due to conflict of interest rules. - the premise already exists in other clubs that have been liquidated Gretna 2008 for example is not a continuation in anything other than spiritual successor - UEFA don’t have the capability to undo any of the above regarding history & can only give their opinion.

Nor do they need to play in preliminary rounds of the Scottish Cup Nor do they need dispensation from SFA to permit “their players” to play in a friendly. Sevco wasn’t allowed to use Rangers-registered players to turn out against Le Havre nor against Kelty Hearts, (aborted commitments that Rangers had made). sevco had been invented but was not yet a football club. Rangers was no more. Sevco had to do its next magic act of renaming as 2 entities: Rangers International Football Club (a holding company, for…) The Rangers. And then it had to be privilegedly/sleekitly catapulted - high over the existing rules and conditions - directly into Division 4. None of this is my opinion. Simply facts, dear boy….
