Prytz tick

He should have a word with Andy Cameron. He's bound to have a few contacts in the music business!!

Disagree totally. It has not yet been shown that we have done anything wrong in relation to the EBTs. We will only have breached SPL rules if there was some kind of second contract entitling the players to additional payments from the EBT. As I understand it, the EBT allowed the players to borrow sums in addition to their contractual pay but they did not have a contractual right to it so there was no 'second contract'. Any kind of points deduction for this or subsequent seasons would be a sanction too far. We have been punished enough already and deserve to start off in Division 3 with a clean slate. Re the transfer embargo, I would be prepared to accept as a compromise that for the next two transfer windows we should only be allowed to sign out of contract players. In other words, no new signings which involve a transfer fee.

It's certainly being talked about but, legally, clubs need to give the SFL two years' notice of their intention to resign from the League. There again, the powers that be don't seem to be paying too much attention just now to the rule book.

He's also the chairman of another football club which is about to get a vote on where we play next season. I can guarantee that he would turn down the opportunity to become involved in the way you suggest.

Sporting integrity in my book means that a team finishing second in the League shouldn't be relegated.

Let's get real here. If you think this week's player walkout was bad, just wait for the exodus if we have to play in Division 3! There's a lot of politics going on in the background. Most of the opposition in the SFL to us playing in Division 1 is actually coming from Division 2 & 3 clubs who are eyeing the extra gate money they will receive over the next two seasons. The Division 1 clubs would be quite happy to sever ties with the rest of the SFL so what's currently being proposed is a win/win situation for them. The threat to form an SPL2 is needed to get the Division 2 & 3 clubs to tow the line.

The company died. The club survives. To regain admission to the SFA the club will probably have to agree to settle the footballing debts. TBH, I don't have any problem with that.

I think you're right, so what sanctions should Green be prepared to accept? I'll throw my tuppence in and suggest that (a) no prize money for the next two seasons; (b) free transfers only for the next two seasons; and © settlement of all footballing debts, might be a reasonable outcome. Anything more severe and we should withdraw our application to rejoin the SPL.

The area around Ibrox is a disgrace. However, it is actually working in our favour just now. If land values were higher in Ibrox/Govan then the possibility of selling the stadium to a developer would make liquidation a far more attractive option to HMRC.

I'd shite on your Englishman, Latchford. I'd shite on your Icelander too. I'd shite on your paddy, McCluskey. I wish I'd the arse of a coo.

I think I can hear a Partick Thistle song!

I know, but there are still a few Jacobites to deal with!

May she continue to crush rebellious Scots!

The release clause places an obligation on Rangers to sell the player to any club which offers the specified amount. However, the player must also agree to the transfer. If it is to a club which the player doesn't fancy, he can always say no. Also, if two or more clubs express an interest in a player, there would then be a bidding war and (subject to his agreement to the move) the player could be transferred to whichever club was willing to pay the highest transfer fee. In short, I don't think we should be too concerned. Many of the players will want to stay at Ibrox and those that want to exercise their right to leave will be (a) saving us a fortune in wages; and (b) giving some of the younger players a better chance of getting a regular game.

We have a 6-8 week break just now between May and July. Are you seriously suggesting that we get rid of that break and have it in December and January instead? The season lasts for ten months so it must either run from July to May as it does now or from the beginning of February to the end of November. If it's the latter, you've got to deal somehow with the World Cup/Euro Championship problem. Also, do we really want the Cup Final and crucial last League games to be in November? Not for me, sorry!
