Duffy needs to take a look at himself, then around at what's been said by others this week - what a knob.

He should name and shame the biggest culprits. TBH mate he doesn't need too we all know who should be boycotted its time the Rangers supporter took a stand against the republican mhedia in this hate filled cesspit we call Scotland.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm no fan of King and will prefer it when he hands over the role of Chairman to someone else. That said I think this is a very good response from King in his capacity as a former director and shareholder of Oldco. It may not be the end of the matter though because although the SFA has given its opinion the SPFL has held its powder dry and will doubtless be influenced by the agitators (as he described them) and the other active harm clubs who are seeking to attempt to influence the SFA and SPFL on this. We've now had opening shots from the agitators and an opening shot from King rightly trying to head off any further agitation at the pass (so to speak). The SFA has put its position and we await the response of the SPFL. Will the SPFL buckle to the demands of the agitators and the other active harm lot or will that organisation be independent enough and strong enough and free from inappropriate influence to join the SFA and declare the matter closed? If they can't or won't then King in his capacity as Chairman of Rangers, and his fellow Board members will simply have to get the bugles and banners out for another fight to protect fairly won titles. It's time for the agitators to back down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianferguson 2,619 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The SPFL will never be able to take our titles with a legal battle which they'll have no desire for because they cost money they can't afford to lose .Also they know how vital the blue pound is to a league already on life support.

It's a fair and reasonable question. The reaction would be interesting to say the least.

DrLaudrup 4,606 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 It is a good statement. I like that he singles out the behaviour of Celtic. I don't think there is much else he can say at this point - it is effectively a warning shot for anyone who is considering pursuing this. The comment on the SFA statement is interesting. The only paper that reported it was the Scotsman - the rest just enjoyed trying to stoke the hysteria. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebooler 4,509 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 King is only saying what Vanguard Bears have been saying for years, and actually doing something about it. Maybe he's decided it's time to act as his own bank account may now be affected? Hopefully he'll follow up on this statement and actually do something positive in our fight against the Bheast and their ilk. He could start by telling the Bheast, and all other clubs, to sell their matchday tickets themselves - we don't want any. He could tell the fans the team would rather play away games without a support, until other clubs start to respect the Rangers. He could tell the SFA our players are unavailable for the Scotland team (if we've got any Scottish players left). And he could get our support to bond better in the fight against our enemies by disbanding his club1872 fans group, and come clean with the fans at all times. If he does even 2 of the above, I'll start to trust him more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,825 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The SPL inquiry settled the matter no matter what the eventual outcome of the HMRC appeal(s) and that was agreed to by the SPL lawyer who is also the Tims lawyer. The SPL presented no argument to challenge the decision of the majority of the Tax Tribunal and Mr McKenzie stated expressly that for all purposes of this Commission’s Inquiry and Determination the SPL accepted that decision as it stood, without regard to any possible appeal by HMRC. That was and is the end of the matter (or should be). If the SPFL is just the SPL with a new name then nothing has changed. If the SPFL is a new separate entity then it has nothing to do with them. It has taken 7 years to resolve the BTC and we cannot come to any arrangement with HMRC because Whyte deliberately got us into administration and oldco has now folded. The BTC did not put us into admin that was Whyte. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
