dummiesoot 16,002 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I expect us to have two prepared statements, one covering if the resolution is passed, one covering failure of the resolution which may require tweaking should the vote be close Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would caveat that with the fact that it is Scotland we're talking about, and Scottish football in particular. We have been, and still are, in a bad place over the last few year given the vicious press campaign against us, anything other than 12 or 13 is a good return IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, unless Rangers are very stupid, which they are not, they will have the next steps planned out. I don’t think for a minute they expect to win the vote. I’m certain they always knew it would go legal eventually but there are protocols and procedures to go through. On a positive note I think we may be pleasantly surprised Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, Mike Mulraney, their Chairman sits on the SFA board and is as bitter as they come. He despises us and continually does Lawwell’s bidding. He was mentioned in the Rangers dossier as well as threatening other clubs and was given leaked info from the SPFL to do so. Mulraney is known to be a particularly “aggressive “ businessman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where 10 is full on boasting rights (ain't gonnae happen) , 9 through 7, sticking their chest out and 6 down 1, every excuse that God gave to man. At the end of today, they may claim victory, but it will be a hollow victory and changes will have to be made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands the now the voting is 1-6 in the favour of rejecting due to the clubs who are represented on the board the now. If the only reason an inquiry fails is because of the clubs on the board saving them theb they're fucked Absolutely correct mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenzie Loyal 533 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Charlie Nicholas backs Rangers to the hilt as he makes 'mouthpiece' Rod McKenzie claim. The 58-year-old Sky pundit has been in the Ibrox side's corner having issued several broadsides at the SPFL during an unsavory time in Scottish football history. Former celtic star Charlie Nicholas believes Rangers' EGM D-DAY offers a chance to get 'the league cleaned out' at boardroom level. The 58-year-old Sky pundit has been in the Ibrox side's corner having issued several broadsides at the SPFL during an unsavory time in Scottish football history. All 42 clubs will go to the ballots on Tuesday to vote on Rangers' resolution for a independent investigation into the league body in the wake of the season-ending vote below the Premiership. It comes after weeks of recriminations and statements that only heightened in the aftermath of the Ibrox side's 200-page dossier last Thursday. And Nicholas also shared his own personal experiences with SPFL lawyer Rod McKenzie as called for a fresh start. Speaking to the Daily Express, he said: "The document didn’t have a bombshell impact but it is still very much relevant. "It was more about the small details and complications of what looks like unprofessional behaviour and there were enough points to merit the call for an inquiry. "There has been growing support in recent days with Inverness and Partick Thistle backing the motion. "I don’t see Rangers getting the 75 per cent of votes they need from SPL clubs for the resolution to be passed at today’s EGM, but even 50 per cent would still cast a major shadow over the SPFL board. "There will be a lot of anger and I don’t think things will be fixed no matter which way the vote goes. "If the resolution is passed I wouldn’t be surprised if SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster and some of his colleagues resigned before the investigation took place. "I have agreed with Rangers from the outset that there should be an independent inquiry into the handling of the end-the-season vote. "The allegations against Neil Doncaster, Rod McKenzie and Murdoch MacLennan all need to be investigated. "I have had experience with legal advisor McKenzie and I know how much of a mouthpiece he can be when he goes after people. He tried it with me and didn’t win. "I have always stood up for Doncaster but he has surrounded himself with people who seem to make the wrong decisions at the wrong time. "This is a chance to get the league cleaned out and to make things more transparent because it has not been that way for a long time. "The question is, though, if we do get change then who do we put in the next board? "That is when the squabbling will start over again." Ahm sittin' here tinkin'......... I agree wae Charlie Nicholas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
