LarkieDeek 61 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Is that not "Financial Doping" which is much worse than cheating?They should get a 15 point deduction for that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertz 78 918 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The hypocrisy in Scottish football is just staggering at times, if this happens Hearts, Killie and Dunfermline will have written off near £70,000,000 in debt without much being said about it by the usual suspects. As for LBG writing off £9m Rangers fans should be protesting outside their HQ on mass if such a deal is struck after the way our club was treated by them.

Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I did not know this was possible without them going into administration first . Watch Aberdeen follow suit now .As much as I would like that to happen it won't as long as Stewart Milne is there.They have set up land deals which will build their new stadium and all but right off their debt. At that point Milne will f..k off into the sunset. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapid6 77 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The same banking group which called in our debt. Co-op bank and their unbelievably low interests rates to sellik. All financial doping in my book. Where is the press investigations / witch hunts now?Disgraceful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
choochooblue 342 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 It seems to be similar to a trust deed , legal but morally wrong . My thinking is there will be restrictions until the lesser debt is paid back . This most certainly is a get out clause for clubs with toxic debt .

bubblybear 258 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Excellent find D'art, your back at your best , must have been that bus trip yesterday .we are all the busy reading and commenting about our board, boycotting papers and in fighting we fail to read this! Also notice there is not 1 comment below. wonder what excuses they are trying to make up for this? We need a board that will highlight this and and MP willing to earn his salt, God forbid the RSC might even give themselves a rest and take up this challenge, won't hold my breath though, over to the Vanguard Bears ( rant over) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWR1979 1,987 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 This is a joke. We were put down 3 divisions for our financial problems. Hearts have been in admin for how long. The double standards is shocking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxfanalex 113 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Fear not, the mighty SPFL will ensure that all " football debts " will have to be repaid.

GMac 1,405 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I did not know this was possible without them going into administration first . Watch Aberdeen follow suit now .Think Aberdeen have already done something similar, loans for £5.75 million were swapped for shares, but the shares are worthless. In other words they were written off.http://www.<No links to this website>/sport/football/football-news/aberdeen-are-a-club-that-is-down-in-the-dumps-following-1499274 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helicopter Sundae 6,197 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 This is actually hard to believe.We now have to get our heads around the fact that our club was trashed in a conspiracy.They must have thought we were a supine bunch of blowhards to try it, and you know what,they were right.

The Educator 1,572 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I would be very surprised if Lloyds go for this as they have been caught up in a new scandal as well. It has been alleged that they were forcing healthy businesses in to administration/liquidation by withdrawing their overdraft arrangements. They then bought the companies for pennies and sold them on for a profit, and there will now be an investigation into a number of cases where this seems to have happened.One paper reported a story where they called in a businessman, told him they were withdrawing his overdraft arrangements and as such his business would be wound up. On leaving the meeting he ran in a fellow businessman that he knew going in to the same branch and told him what had happened only to be told that the bank had called the other the other chap in as they knew of a business that was going to go under and if he was interested in purchasing it. I didn't take them too long to realise whose business they were trying to sell to him.This story has had coverage in the press down south, but to date I haven't seen any coverage up here. Could it be because it sounds very similar to the way they forced a sale of Rangers to Whyte? If and it is a big if at the moment these stories were found to be linked there would be hell to pay. Don't forget they had two men on the Rangers board, one of whom is reported to have strong links with our biggest competitors at a time when our then manager Walter Smith said openly in a press conference that it was the bank who were running Rangers.
