Although Stewart Milne wants to let it be, the Aberdeen fans are not having it and have sent the following to the SFA



EBTs), we issued the below correspondence to the SFA:

We – as Aberdeen FC’s only democratic and constituted fans’ organisation, existing to represent the views of Aberdeen supporters – would like to express our bitter disappointment at your decision not to participate in any review of Rangers’ use of Employee Benefit Trusts.

To decline an invitation made by SPFL clubs appears tantamount to a dereliction of duty.

We also find the statement you issued is close to insulting.

It could be argued that “raking over the coals” is fully justified in the circumstances. Indeed, this is an issue that has not been put to rest for any one of the six years in question and still burns brightly. Turning a blind eye to injustice damages ‘the image of the game in Scotland’ further than any enquiry ever could.

We cannot contest that ‘it will be impossible to satisfy every supporter, every club official and every member club’. In the work we do it is ever-apparent that you cannot even satisfy every Aberdeen supporter! However, our engagement with supporters and supporters groups affiliated to Aberdeen and other clubs would suggest that the vast majority would welcome an inquiry and expect the SFA to be part of it.

It is more beneficial to act on the behalf of the majority rather than drop the case altogether. Indeed, we polled our members (of which we have over 2,000) to find that over two-thirds want an inquiry. In addition, 44% of respondents would contribute financially to fund an independent review. As it is the majority view our members and the Aberdeen support, we have long taken the position that merit of the Rangers team’s success be thoroughly challenged and it is why we send this email to you.

We argue that your flagrant disregard for justice, as sought by the majority of Aberdeen supporters and those elsewhere in Scottish football, represents a complete lack of the integrity you defend at the tail of your statement and we invite you to reconsider your position on the matter.”

We await a response.

Well done the Aberdeen supporters :thumbsup:

In the SFA's own words:

"Lord Nimmo Smith found that Oldco had not achieved a sporting advantage by utilising the EBT Scheme. The report of evidence given by Sir David Murray at the Craig Whyte trial appears to contradict that finding"

But no interest in a review. :lol:
So they admit it themselves... :Bye:
And yet those corrupt fuds need 2 to 3 weeks for every response...
While Celtics letters are sent every 3 days like clockwork. :rocker:

It makes it far too easy to paint it as an us vs them, obsessed timmy type thing when in fact it affects the whole of Scottish football.
It does affect the whole game, and nice as it would be to have the support of EVERY other club, if this becomes an Us v Them scenario , then so be it. We were the ones who lost the most.
Exactly. I don't think Fergus worried about whether any club was with us, just I would imagine, that it was Celtic's right to justice.

Let me be one of the first to offer apologies to our board and PL as I often wondered whether they took this seriously over last six years.

For them to have been as thorough Over the period yet keeping their counsel and professionalism intact by not revealing what they were doing to fight our and Scottish Footballs corner speaks volumes for them.

Reading through the leaked letters, did Reagan mention UEFA license without even being asked about it. I think he is throwing down breadcrumbs. :ponder:

Well done Celtic and well done Peter Lawwell.

Also well done the people who realise that every decision Lawwell makes for us is in our best interests and that the guy will back Celtic up at every turn.

In relation to the license - I have always found that to be one of the less important issues in the whole circus. For one thing, what can the SFA do, retrospectively, to punish oldco for misleading them? As it goes, I don't believe for one second they were misled. They fudged the issue so that the revenue would help keep Rangers as a going concern. But that is already the position they are hiding behind and even if they do find Rangers oldco guilty, I don't see how that helps us in any way whatsoever - the SFA will simply say re compensation, for example, to pursue Rangers oldco.

Regan and the SFA will investigate the awarding of the UEFA license to Rangers (IL) in 2011 because of the new facts available

Regan and the SFA will not investigate the EBT decade at Rangers (IL) even though new facts are available

The SFA stance seems a bit barmy, ok we'll look at this bit if you ignore everything else knowing full well that won't be the case and by doing thus they've only implemented themselves even more as a corrupt shower of scumbags.

Their days are numbered.

Depends who you're asking, SFA are booking flights to somewhere far far away.

Actually would like to hear some other clubs pipe up now, :louder: HIBS are you there? :louder:

If guilt is established re: the UEFA License award, the SFA could say we cannot punish Rangers because they are deid and we cannot punish Sevco because they are a new club, which is of course the UEFA response.

The SFA could, however, punish those individuals who are guilty of misleading / lying to gain that UEFA License, many of whom are still in positions of power and authority, be it at the SFA and, or Sevco
