Harper McLeod = Pwoppa Nawty Bhoys

On the 25th June lawyer Rod McKenzie, on behalf of Harper McLeod, issued the first draft of the 5 party agreement after a number of round the table discussions from the previous week involving all parties involved in Rangers attempts at gaining a licence to play football from the SFA.

Included in the first draft were SFA EBT sanctions, SPL EBT sanctions and SFL EBT sanctions.

The SFL ones were removal of the League Cup victories for seasons 01/02, 02/03, 07/08 and 08/09.

At no time in the previous discussions was actual removal of trophies ever openly discussed and debated. These were inserted into the agreement with absolutely no prior consultation with the SFL.

As a result, the SFL immediately objected and on the same day, threatened to withdraw from the entire process as a result. The SFL was not willing to be party to a process that set out to convict and sentence a Club who had not even been charged, had the case heard, never mind being found guilty. This is way before even any Commission was ever appointed to look into it.

As a result of this, the second draft had the SFL sanctions removed and they were never brought up again in any future revision or discussion.

The questions that have to be asked are;

Who formally instructed HM (acting for SPL) to insert the sanctions in the first draft?

If it was the SPL then there should be SPL Board minutes available to show their agreement to inserting the sanction clauses. Proof of this would provide the public with clarity about the process. When are they going to issue them to the public for perusal?

If there are no SPL Board minutes available to back up the instruction then who actually instructed HM?

If it was the SFA then that would be a very strange set of circumstances as HM were not acting for the SFA, that was Levy Mcrae. Levy Mcrae were actively involved in the discussions and were directly representing the SFA position in the process and actually provided a few amendment requests to HM on the SFA behalf.

If it was neither of the above then HM have some serious questions to answer. Who did formally instruct them to include all the sanctions?

Maybe they could put forward the defence that they were merely putting together all the previous discussions and debate into a document to move things along however, it is unclear if that is allowed under Law Society rules. And, more importantly, as there was never any previous discussion about removing SFL trophies, that could not be the case.

All firms of Solicitors are supposed to have clear written instructions to carry out work on behalf of any 'client' and also carry out necessary anti money laundering checks on these clients prior to accepting any appointment. No solicitor would carry out substantial works unless they had clear direct authorisation and instruction so that they could allocate and charge the fees for the work. Where were the hours worked charged on their fee ledger?

It is now up to HM to declare publicly, who formally instructed them to include the sanctions. It would surely be in the best interests of HM to provide clarity to the football world.

 

gees the long and skinny of it eh medderz?

 

HM included sanctions they said the SFL agreed to - stripping Gers of League Cup victories.

SFL denied they had agreed to this.

 

I assume you have proof this happend?

Is it in a dossier perhaps?

 

It's to do with a club that's dead, why do you care?

<jumpthedyke>

 

Could say the same to you.

 

And you'd be right. It is about a club that's dead.



Andy's looking for you. Deadline set n everything

 

But did this happen or is it made up pish from vanguard bears?

 

vanguardbears verbatim

 

And what exactly has it got to do with you laddy?

Yeah, it's made up pish. Feel free to jog on.

 

No, if its true you have every right to ask these questions, but is it true?

 

Well you can sit here all day asking if its true or not but you'll believe what you want to believe.

Surprising how many Celtic fans have an interest in this '3rd division diddy team'.

 

Copied verbatim from VB or FF. That tells you all you need to know.

 

im interested

so where is the source?

 

So its an unfounded allegation brought about to sully the reputation of a firm investigating Rangers over allegations of cheating

Dignity

 

And I am a fan of Rangers.

This is on the Rangers board.

Understand.

If you believe it's made up then fine.

Cheerio then.
