Club statement | Resolution not deemed competent

What about if the evidence isn't criminal though but Rangers know an independent enquiry would be enough to show celtic's influence (which also needs addressed) but we can't get the clubs to vote for an inquiry because they are quite happy. Where does that leave us?

Therein lies the rub, the statement from the club makes no accusation of criminality, more of widespread incompetence. The statement is not as strong as suggested, releasing damning evidence can rectify that.

Why were the league 1 and 2 votes joined together? has the vote already failed, are we supposed to believe that Stranraer, Airdrie and Falkirk all voted for this?

Exactly but if Dundee can't prove it was sent (they have so far been unwilling to) it raises massive questions over the timeline they presented 

Quite easy to prove ask their internet service provider

Gordon Smith is another prick.

Another so-called Rangers man with a voice in the media or airwaves who does us no favours at all. 

Add him to the massive list along with the rest of the cunts. 

Asking to dish out the prize monies just now, with us taking a financial hit is only looking after ourselfs? jesus christ.

What an open goal - he went onto TalkSport, national talk radio with the goal at his mercy and a free shot and he comes out with that shite. 

Yet you'll see him walking about Ibrox from time to time in a wee tie with a match day gig. Tell people like Smith he's getting enough money from tarrier funded outlets to push their shite and show him the door.

Would be madness for Rangers to release anything they have. Keep the cards very close to our chest whilst ascertaining who else is on board to challenge this mob. Once we have the adequate numbers then go for them, get the resolutions out to suspend the usual suspects & start the inquiry. Then, and only then present our evidence. We need to play this right, if the evidence is good enough it would be criminal to let them worm their way out this by any means.

Unlike the spfl board who showed the vote before it was completed, our board won't be that stupid.

Our board must have some super compelling evidence from the "whistleblower",  plus calling out the spfl with a politely worded "corruption" plus  demanding an independent inquiry plus 2 heads must roll.  A statement like that would certainly be watertight when you consider the consequences if it wasn't.

With that amount of ammunition, it would be stupid to show your hand anytime soon.

Sit back, watch what your opponent is doing, giving them enough rope etc.

In hindsight you may well be right mate, In fact having had a chance to think about it in a more calm and rational manner I wouldn’t be surprised if the likes of the Ross county chairman were being used to try and get Rangers to show their hand so the SPFL know what exactly they are up against.

It would be incompetent to release evidence without any formal proceedings taking place. We cannot give them any opportunity to work their way out of this.

That's always been the format for voting in the SPFL. It's to stop the lower levels essentially having a veto over the rest of the leagues. It impacts the number of reps on the SPFL board (L1&L2 get one seat between them, Championship gets two and the Premiership get three)

I honestly don't think people are saying that mate (unless I've missed a few posts with people actually saying it) I just think people are curious the level of dirt within the evidence. 

I'm curious as to how we push through an inquiry, depending on what we've got.

What proceedings ?

To a much lesser degree. 

It's being reported down south now that, rather than a £300m+ rebate for the games missed this season, Sky will just settle for  the PL making it up in additional games next season. We aren't being afforded such a luxury as BT's contract ends in the summer and has no way of being made up with extra games.

 

Sorry but this argument does not stack up.

The breach of contract is about the number of games played and shown by the broadcaster.

It makes no difference if we end the league now and call it null and void compared to ending it now and declaring a champion.

In either circumstance, the broadcaster has been able to show X number of the contracted Y games.

Down south, they are talking about making up the number of games next season, so sky are being given the number of games they paid for.

If we end the season early then our contract is has not been fulfilled. Calling the league null and void does no more harm to the contract with the broadcaster than calling it early and naming a champion.

But there might be a point where you have to so, in order to get proceedings started. Like a chicken and egg predicament.

Thought they’d tried to pull a fast one, as I can see 3 possibly 4 clubs who 100% wouldn’t want the season theme end as is

Unless the tv companies have a force majeure/pandemic clause in their contracts, they haven’t a leg to stand on.

The evidence needs to be presented to the police, who would investigate and report to the Crown Office, anything else is conjecture.

That's a potential bundle of evidence lost then.

I think this is the  quietest I’ve ever heard the bheasts and Liewell. .Very revealing eh 

Or maybe we will hear from them in coming hours 🤔

TV companies are in a fairly strong position actually.

They will have been contracted to a certain amount of games in a season. If they don't get all the games they have signed up for, then they could withhold a proportion of the cash in the contract.

What doesn't change a thing in the TV companies favour is calling the league void or calling it early and naming a champion. Either outcome still means that they have not been able to show the number of games in their contract.

You no heard mate, Nothing to do with them apparently 😂😂

[Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,686]

I wonder if we could come out with some of the milder evidence to get the inquiry started and then feed them the truly fuck the Scottish football system stuff then.
