Regan walks while fans talk.

Stewart Regan, the Chief Executive of the SFA, disgracefully walked out of a meeting with the Rangers Fans Working Group at Hampden earlier today.

Mr Regan was being closely questioned about the lack of practical help the SFA was rendering to one of it’s member clubs in administration.

Earlier in the meeting he had twice threatened to walk out when his point of view was being challenged.

The meeting with Mr Regan fell into two distinct parts. The first was to discuss the mechanisms for ensuring that the record of good behaviour by Rangers fans was encouraged by the implementation of standards and good practice across the board in Scottish football. The second was specifically to do with the treatment of Rangers whilst the club is in administration.

It was put to Mr Regan that whilst the club is effectively decapitated during administration it was unfair that quasi-judicial proceedings were being undertaken when no new owners were in place and the firm of administrators in charge were unlikely to have the knowledge or commitment to ensure a vigorous defence of the club’s long-term interests.

Similarly, it was noted that there was a widespread feeling amongst the Rangers support that the SFA administration was not impartial and that any sanctions taken against the club at this time were likely to be perceived as unfair.

The Fans Working Group consider that our concerns were put forward in a sensible and helpful manner and are therefore both shocked and disappointed that Mr Regan chose to behave in such an unprofessional manner.

Remember guys, he isn't in control of his own actions, he's bound by the strings as all puppets are.

The Slanty Eyed one across the city knows what he is doing.

[Redwhiteandblue]

resignation is in order i think.

What was Mr Regan's point of view then?

[krissg910]

dont let this go and use it as a means of forcing this cunt to up his game or walk.

its a total disgrace the lack of help and/or support the sfa have offered rangers in this troubled time. i would bet that aid and assistance is offered to clubs in a similar crisis as ours is offered in every other footballing country throughout europe.

[4MenHadADream]

What in particular did he take exception to?

He appeared to be annoyed and resolute in his intention to pursue us when interviewed on SSN.
This is weakness, he'll blink when provoked. That will be his undoing.
A complete cunt of a human being let alone man.

Are there minutes available from this meeting? What exactly caused him to storm out?

[RFCstuart]

That's mental. What a wank.

[trueblue68]

If this is true every Rangers fan should be calling for his resignation

[DBT]

Should ask him on Twitter what he took offence to and why he walked out.

Done did, along with a thousand others. The Taigs apparently think it's part of the conspiracy to sweep it all under the rug...........................................................................

[thiepvalwood]

He must be pushed to resignation now.

Simple...if regan stays then we must boycott all away games.

[Shetland]

He's a fucking disgrace, how the hell did the establishment let him get that job?!

[Thermopylae]

It does say a lot about Scottish football that when its biggest club is in crisis the authorities can't wait to press their own charges and make the situation worse

[TheCutch]

Childish behaviour.

Does not surprise me in the slightest.  

[swally]

Unprofessional - time to up the ante on this puppet

Our new owners need to be strong and resolute when dealing with the SFA

[MosesMcNeil]

The Rangers have every right to expect much more of the SFA - that he walked when faced with difficult questions speaks volumes.

A spineless leader. Fit for purpose? Aye right.

[Dennis]

Anyone asks him any serious questions on twitter, he calls them bigots and blocks them. He basically done the same here. What a pointless cunt.
