Rangers have been for sale for the last five years , yet when spl announce the changes to their rules and the sfa announce their punishment , it was on the day the club was going to be bought and taken over .

Duff and Phelps have set a deadline to announce a deadline for the final deadline of all the deadlines that have passed without a deadline.
Scum
Every country bar ours would be helping a club in the position we find ourselves
But no , they are chopping off our hands and legs
I'm disgusted, angry and physically shaking with rage
I'm more angry that some fans won't waken up and fight our corner
A boycott of all away games is a must
Any supporter who attends an away game next yr is no rangers supporter in my eyes
You can go **** yourself

"No more impartial punishment"
These guys are ****ing morons.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b01ghftv about 22 mins in. but what about that fenian in charge of the taigs
now its all the fault of the sfa. i don't remember them asking the sfa to step in prior to whyte taking over. back then it was all timmy myths and whyte was the saviour who would lead them to better and bigger things. let's not forget that murray would only sell the club to someone who could take it further
But it is the player registration ban that has caused most concern for the club's administrators Duff & Phelps.
"It is the sheer lack of any commercial sense to this ruling that has shocked us," a source close to the club's emergency regime told the BBC.
"It is a bit like a court telling the administrator of an engineering company that they can survive but they're not allowed to trade any stock"
=====================================================
I don't follow their train of thought.
The analogy is ludicrous.
If the SFA had banned Rangers from playing football matches he may have had a point.
If Rangers cannot buy players then they should simply use the squad of players they have at their disposal for the next year. Buying players is not mandatory nor is it a purely commercial enterprise, when a club buys players it is normally done to strengthen the squad, it has little effect on commerce that I can see.
Besides, if this imaginary "Engineering Company" had run it's business model on the basis of "trading stock" then they are in the wrong business, Engineering companies usually do "engineering work", contracts and the like.
Instead of Rangers "trading stock" to make money perhaps they could - and this is just a crazy idea - play football using the assets at their disposal?
You've got hold of the wrong end of the stick, Dev. They're not talking about trading stocks and shares. They're talking about stock as in nuts & bolts. If they can't restock, they can't build anything to sell.
He's changed his argument now anyway, the guy from D&P now says it's akin to a trading company not being allowed to trade. Anyhoo, plenty of clubs have been hit with transfer embargoes in the past (Sion, Chelsea for example), it's a pretty standard way of punishing clubs so D&P are talking nonsense.

It's not a good comparison as Chelsea had a stable squad at the time with no urgent need to replace players.
There will probably be a mass exodus from Rangers in the summer - whether through players looking out for their own interests, or any new owner looking to slash costs.
If this stands, I seriously think we'll be fielding a mainly under-18 team next season.
but the punishment itself is probably in line with the crime of buying players you haven't paid for, both in wages and transfer fees.
