I hope this current punishment, if not added to at appeal on Wednesday is only the starter course. I have said all along that Whyte was not the only one to blame, I said Directors and Senior employees should have made it known what was going on. Legend John Greig stood idly by, having enjoyed the fruits of an EBT and did nothing in respect of all the money he got and all the praise lauded upon him by stupid Rangers fans. People sneered and laughed when I said there were people in place to stop Whyte. That is why Directors get big money and why Senior employees don't have to worry about the price of a pair of shoes. Rangers are in real trouble, they are getting deeper and deeper every day. Thank God.
 
Is is normal to get posts vetted that contain links if you've not had much of a track record here? Or has someone hacked my account
 
I guess it must be normal

I was trying to draw attention to Alex Thompson's latest blog, "Inside the Big Bad Hoose" - definitely worth a read
 
The age-old Rangers defence for years going back past Craig Whyte&#8217;s ownership to Sir David Murray&#8217;s that &#8216;we didn&#8217;t know&#8217; and &#8216;we weren&#8217;t told&#8217; or &#8216;we left it all to the chairman&#8217; is clearly not convincing this panel. That strikes a blow to the heart of Rangers&#8217; notorious culture for passing the buck whilst winning glory with money it did not have and potentially millions which should have gone to the taxman.

Excellent stuff, cheers Tom and Ginger <ok>

There's even better (if badly written)

These are legal brains taking what one must presume is a dispassionate look at a football club which had lost all norms of proper governance under the Craig Whyte ownership and people knew it was happening and did nothing about it. All of which makes the simple and childish scapegoating of Craig Whyte wrong in principle, wrong in fact and wrong in law. Craig Whyte is not the only baddie in all this and the club management more widely, stands roundly condemned here.

And that is why those who say &#8211; and there are many of them &#8211; that the club cannot and should not be held responsible for Craig Whyte&#8217;s actions, are laid bare in all this for what they are &#8211; cowards who refuse to face the facts, the truth and the hard reality that Rangers went catastrophically wrong and that is Rangers&#8217; responsibility and nobody else&#8217;s &#8211; chairmen and directors.
Foremost among those, because of his recent words and actions, must be the current managers of Rangers, Ally McCoist. Who questioned very openly the independence of this inquiry and whose actions in demanding identities be made public were followed by threats from the lunatic fringe. This should be a time for reflection and introspection within at Rangers Mr McCoist, not simply more of the loud, boorish fingerpointing without. Not likely to help Rangers appeal these punishments. Not likely to help Rangers at all.

Ken Olverman, finance officer at Rangers, had his bank authority reduced under Mr Whyte, who would not allow him to sign cheques for more than £100


<laugh>

Ohh this is priceless.
 
The fact that the panelists have been named tells us everything. They will rescind the registration embargo, yet Uefa make it quite clear that the club and the owner/chairmen are indivisible and are the one entity. So if they let rfc off they must by logic let Whyte off.

Tax evasion is viewed by Uefa very very seriously. Dont be surprised if the registration ban is rescinded and within 24hrs Scottish football is punisehd by Uefa or there is a sudden about turn. No matter what Lord Calloway rules, just as the court in the Sion case ruled, Uefa have their own regulations and these have been breached. The whole of Scottish football will be punished, except the perpertrators which brings me to the point that Uefa may well inflict a very harsh ban on rfc or newco in terms of European football. 5 or 10 year ban are not out of the question. If Uefa let this one go, then every club in Europe can avoid tax and know that they will still be elligible to play in Europe.

My advice to newco or rfc...................watch what you ask for cos you might damn well get it. Uefa will not tolerate tax evading clubs walking straight back into a top league with no sanctions. They can certainly impose a European football ban on the club. They can impose a ban on international football and they can impose a club ban on all Scottish clubs, although the latter would give Celtic cause to claim a corrupt league. This may well not end as newco, SFA expect.
