FSM 20,892 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Finally being put out of it's misery. Quote Plans for an independent review into the way Scottish football handled Rangers ' use of EBTs will be scrapped by the board of the SPFL today. It appeared certain that a new probe into the EBT saga would take place when SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster sent a letter to the SFA earlier this month asking the game's governing body to take part in the planned investigation. The SPFL board had previously held talks over the potential of a review in July following the Supreme Court verdict that found against Rangers in their long-running legal battle with HMRC over their EBT payments to players. However, the SFA refused to take part, with SFA chief executive Stewart Regan claiming that celtic were the only club who were keen on a review and that “raking over the coals” would only damage the image of the game. Doncaster then came under fire for headlining his letter to the SFA as: “Independent review of use of tax avoidance schemes at Rangers FC and actions of Scottish football authorities”. Rangers are believed to have been angered by the letter while other member clubs distanced themselves from it as they were under the impression any review would not solely focus on the Ibrox club and the events that led to the financial collapse in 2012. It was thought the review would instead look at processes aimed at avoiding future financial traumas among all Scottish clubs as well as how such events would be handled in future. celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell then waded in to the row by writing to the SFA. He wrote: "I am disappointed to note the position of the Scottish FA board in relation to our request for a review and indeed the request by the SPFL, on behalf of the 42 clubs in Scotland, for a review.” The Premiership champions said they were merely adopting the stance of the other 41 SPFL clubs and that a lack of a review would be a 'failure in transparency, accountability and leadership'. But the weight of opinion now appears to have moved behind Regan's stance with Doncaster and Lawwell left isolated and the plans for an SPFL review now in tatters. Premiership big-hitters Aberdeen , Kilmarnock and Hibs have already publicly stated their desire to move on from the contentious issue. Now the Daily Mail reports that the SPFL board – which includes Hearts chairwoman Ann Budge, Morton's Warren , Hamilton's Les Gray and Iain Dougan of Stranraer – will today draw a line under the long-running saga by ditching plans for a new probe.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 dead in the water. Turns the spotlight directly on Doncasters and Liewells agenda now. We know Liewells - but Doncaster has been found out here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Can we now have a 'probe' into the blatant lies spouted by arseholes with a clear agenda against our club? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza2258 478 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Lawell fucked up by asking for a Judicial Review into Rangers and the SFA, which means further sanctions if necessary. If he had kept it to a simple review of what had happened, he would have got more support, as the outcome would have only been process / rule changes etc to ensure it didn't / couldn't happen again, and penalties if it did happen again. No one could have really argued against that. But his lust for blood distanced every normal cunt. The SPFL fucked up because they are useless.

WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 RFC should issue a statement to the SPFL & SFA as a request on behalf of the 42 clubs in Scotland, for an independent review into the way Scottish football handled celtic's ' harbouring and re-employment of known paedophiles. Now that's a fucking scandal - then, now and forever more - no need to change the rules for that - immediate demotion, fines and stripping of titles during that horrific period.
