It takes a special kind of miserablist (the kind KDS specialises in!) to scratch around for a downside to the best financials in the club's history, and all on the back of an unbeaten Treble-winning season. :lol:
:lol: all jumping over a 33% rise in operating expenses and ignoring the near 75% rise in revenue.

It's looking ever more likely that Doncaster deliberately muddied the waters by referencing Rangers in his letter to the SFA asking for a joint review when the terms of reference of the review within the letter only applied to all clubs and authorities. The media keep mentioning the ebt saga to keep the real issue away from the spotlight. SFA reject it, SPFL say they can't do it alone.

As usual, the fix was in from the start.

The SPFL Board is disappointed in the Scottish FA’s decision not to participate in an independent review.

The SPFL Board still believes that an independent review, promoted jointly by the Scottish FA and SPFL, would have resulted in a better understanding of the procedures and processes adopted by football’s governing bodies. Such a review would also have enabled any lessons learned to be implemented for the future benefit of the game in Scotland.

SPFL Chairman Murdoch MacLennan commented: “The SPFL Board has been clear that any meaningful review would have had to be carried out in association with the Scottish FA and with the full and active co-operation of both organisations.

"The SPFL Board has therefore concluded that it cannot, by itself, take forward an effective independent review."

Seems to me its worked out pretty nicely for the two governing bodies.

Up to us, always was and always will be. Let's hope Celtic continue on and don't use this spineless decision to give them the excuse to do likewise.

Foot on the pedal, Mr Lawell.

Good point, that probably makes more sense.

Not sure where this £18m cash figure is coming from. I am seeing £24.5m.
It's net after taking into account bank liabilities i.e the Co-Op loan of £6.5m.

Yes, one might almost believe it was a bit of a coordinated stitch-up, if it weren't honourable men and women we were dealing with here.

It's almost as if it was pre-planned

Doncaster and some of his cronies have as much to hide as Regan and his SFA brethren.

When did Doncaster and Regan know that Rangers (IL) were heading for an insolvency event?

What did Doncaster and Regan know of Whyte's plans?

Were Doncaster and Regan complicit or culpable in any way?

Did Doncaster and Regan help facilitate the shafting of Rangers (IL)'s creditors?

Did Doncaster and Regan negotiate contracts with sponsors / partners / broadcasters while knowing of and hiding details of Rangers (IL)'s imminent insolvency, which would be fraud?

Why have they not at the very least clarified the issue over the SFA's claim that this was a request by one club? That would have been the very least the SPFL Board could muster. They've opted for the shortest possible statement amounting to "whit can we dae?"

The membership of the SPFL Board has six club officials on it representing all 42 clubs. Strange that they have opted to omit any clarification of that central claim that was given such weight in the SFA's reasons to decline a review.

This is up there with Diligent Rod the Lawyer meekly accepting Sandy Bryson's words of wisdom on all things player registration related during the LNS inquiry. "Whit can we dae?"

Is Scottish football the most corrupt in European football ?

Or is it just the brethren calling in favours ?

Conspiracy ? no chance, it's simply normal practice for the best wee country in the world.

I've always felt the people in charge of our game, did know what was coming.

The inevitable insolvency event, was the end game from about 2008 onwards.

The media just put their fingers in their ears and didn't want to discuss it. Even when a known company liquidator took over, it was all multi billionaire here to save the day. No hack bothered to print what a 5 minute google, would have told them. Did someone put pressure on the editors?

I always remember Walter Smith giving an interview after a draw to Kilmarnock iirc. He was asked about the club and how the future looked for it and if he would re consider leaving at the end of the season.

He sort of admitted in his response that he could see what was coming and it was time to get out of dodge. I wish I could find the interview, but his wording was rather strange at the time.

In hindsight now, I think Murray had already briefed him that, CW was the only hope of dumping the debt.

It's cash net of bank debt. We have bank debt of £6.4m. Presume this is the Co-op loan we were given on highly favourable terms as we're reducing it very slowly.

No doubt a setup.

The SPFL are waving the flag at the first hurdle. If they really wanted an enquiry they wouldn't be giving up so soon.


The Media also falling in line. In comparison the media down here are all over the FA over this Mark Sampson dude. They are now just letting the FA walk away easily. The media want answers and will call for change. That issue is nothing like the illegal actions of deadco but I guess down here people actually want to be journalists.

Celtic won't let it go. There are plenty of other avenues to explore.
