It's simple for me; if there's eff all to hide, have a full, independent review of ALL of the facts.

Really surprised that the club that lay down to Rangers on Black Sunday is against a judicial review.

More than 40 senior Scottish football clubs played in at least 30 stagings of the highest level professional football tournaments in this country over a 10 year period where one club deliberately did not pay PAYE and NI taxes totalling £40m on salaried income paid to players and other football staff. To be clear, a benefit denied every other club taking part in these tournaments. The amount of unpaid tax in some years alone is greater than the combined annual turnover of about 20 of these clubs put together.

These payments were concealed from the national governing body, invalidating the registrations of all players with earnings provided by EBT, and all games in which these players played over that 10 year period.

They won 14 of these tournaments. Who knows what the aggregate total prize money for the stagings of these 30 tournaments is, and the associated financial rewards with qualifications for the Champions League and Europa League. It clearly runs to over £150m, a figure which does not take into account the expenditure by fans on several million separate transacted payments to sit and watch these tournaments where one team did not pay any tax on a significant portion of player salaries.

This happened despite the SFA registration rules being in place and known to all football club administrators. This also happened despite SFA knowledge of HMRC investigating alleged RFC tax avoidance as early as 2004.

The only reason we are five years on from 2012 is due to the conclusion of the myriad legal cases culminating in the Supreme Court upholding the HMRC's successful appeal to the CoS and the end of the Craig Whyte trial. These prevented calls for a review at an earlier date.

The time for Scottish football to move on is at the end of a fully independent, impartial and transparent review which has powers to investigate all of the Scottish football authorities.
An excellent condensed summation that brings out all of the relevant detail, succeeded in getting my blood pressure to a dangerous level.

After seeing PLs letters i'm positive that we're going to go after them, regardless of whether any other clubs support us or not.
i would, if possible recall Ryan Christie from his loan spell at the sheep :lol:

Celtic cannot back down from this. If this means go it alone, then we go it alone.

I suspect Hibs fans are not happy with their board, just as it seems neither Aberdeen nor Hearts fans are happy with their boards. Fans need to take the initiative here. Protests and boycotts may be the next step.
Going by their forums the majority of them are really not happy.

They are really worried, aren't they? Why this charm offensive all over the media and the circling of the wagons? It is no coincidence Hibs have released this tonight. There is clearly a lot of people in officialdom - be it the SFA or the clubs themselves - who have plenty to lose if the lid is prized off this can of worms. Good news if you ask me.

So when Craig Whyte withheld tax it was judged one step down from match fixing but when Murray, King, Dickson, Ogilive et al did it (whilst actively lying and concealing) it's just one of those things?

Not surprised at Hibs. They weren't challenging for many honours at thee time of the cheating. They will have lost out on prize money. Still better to move on. :o

Am I reading right that they have two fan representatives on the Board yet the decision was unanimously carried? That means the Hibs fans didn't care enough to intimate their position or have been shafted themselves.

Please correct me if I'm reading this bit wrong, but:
If Oldco, for a decade, submitted contracts to the SFA which covered only a false percentage of what they were actually paying their players, was there not one person at the SFA who thought "Hold on - Rangers are paying their players only half to two thirds what Celtic are paying theirs, yet easily competing with them...what's going on here?"
Hear no evil, see no evil.

Frank De Boer's contract must have interesting to look at as he apparently received all his salary through an EBT.
Right. So an investigation might reveal the name/s of whoever looked at that contract, thought "De Boer's playing for Rangers for nothing, that's nice!" then stuck it in the back of a drawer.
No wonder they're stalling

Turnbull Hutton, rest in peace, is sadly missed and fondly remembered for prizing truth over convenience. A legend. Oh that someone would fill his shoes.

So Hibs, Hearts and the sheep. Cheated out of money, trophies and Europe but wish to move on. Is there something in it for them to move on?
In Petrie's case, votes for the Presidency.
