MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'm just looking for some answers to this mystery.Whilst it's easy to understand why the grubby, greedy, grabbing hands of the SPL clubs are all over the cash, how is that these monies are not directly being sent to D&P as administrators for distribution to the creditors as a whole?Is it a wild guess to assume it was part of the blackmail deal to allow The Rangers to transfer membership and secure the SFA licence? But, even so, does the five-way agreement between the SPL, SFA, SFL, Green & Co and D&P allow them to do this to the detriment of all creditors?Any information as to why the SFA are holding the fee for Davis welcome, too.

El Carpintero 546 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Probably just to piss us off, make life difficult for us, make us sweat, anything to try and affect any plans we want to make. If we are due it then i am sure Mr Green will have best people possible on their case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef 436 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Remind me who it was that said something along the lines of full transparency from now on within the corridors of the governing bodies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMac 1,405 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Think this is a question the Liquidators will ask. Do the SPL have the money, what happens if they dish it out only for the liquidators to ask for it back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart54 218 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 800k I believeThanks mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre 1,663 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Any information as to why the SFA are holding the fee for Davis welcome, too.It's pretty simple, they have no money, they don't have than £800k in an account, the only real reason they witheld prize money was because without it in their account they couldn't afford to continue.

54andcounting 627 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Why no SFA/SPL enguire into this then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glesgabear81 24 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 D&P must have a legitimate claim to the Davis fee. Was the money for Davis paid by Southampton to SFA?Charles Green is rightly peeved at the backtracking of the SPL in relation to paying oldco football debts but has it been confirmed who this letter he has in his possession is addressed to? ie oldco/newco, D&P/Charles Green.ps. Wouldn't Duff & Phelps have a claim on last seasons prize money, if not why not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right_To_Censor 1,951 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Seen a rumour posted on a football site so I don't know if there is any truth in it but it said that if Rangers drew an SPL club in any cup competitions this season then the match programme would be £14 but admission would be £1, thus denying the SPL Club a large slice of the attendance fee.Don't if this is true or even legal but if it is a Charles Green idea.............................Brilliant !!

I remember there was an issue with prices for a league cup game against Kilmarnock in a Monday night (Rangers wanted lower prices, Kilnarnock higher) so prices reverted to the previous SPL meeting of the clubs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdTuBrutus 13 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Surely even if a price needs to be agreed, they can't stop give-away or freebie tickets. Maybe have a meaningless game where buying a ticket gets you a ticket for the next cup game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Don't know about our prize money but didn't we tell southampton to hold onto the money until the paperwork was sorted out so as the SFA didn't get their grubby mits on it.Green is in dispute with SFA over the money owed to united which the SFA agreed to settle but now appear to be trying to show just how much their word is worth by going back on the deal which they never apparently paid anyway. Go on Charlie you got them by the short and curlies IMO, make the swine squeal.I am really starting to like Green but still can't shake this nagging doubt about him, guess it must be a hangover from the whyte era.
