Rangers owner Craig Whyte gets lifetime ban from SFA

[KDC]

Guys does anyone know if the sanctions could still be enforced on a newco- If not then for me liquidation is now comming, the inability to transfer players would make it nigh on impossible to continue.

STV were reporting that sanctions would be carried over to any newco.

Sorry anychance you could translate that into the queens english im not getting what you have said.

ok ill phrase it another way do you the newco to inherit the history of the oldco, or do you think they should have 54 league titles? and 1 crimewatch apperance?

If lemmons in charge they would give yous a run for your money anyhow.

Would that be the same Neil Francis Lennon that has just won the title?

Put Rangers into the 3rd division and let Rangers work there way back up the leagues, but all Fans boycott away games for a few seasons and let them see how much money sky and espn and Rangers supporters etc etc put into the game.

Maybe then the other supporters that are wanting Rangers out the game will get a short sharp shock when they have very little finances coming through sponsors and Rangers fans.

Saying that whyte has blotted the name of Rangers forever more by holding money back from the wee teams and not paying the Taxes since he took over and there should be punishments that fit that set of circumstances.

Ally McCoist has demanded to find out the identities of those who imposed sanctions on Rangers which he believes ***8220;could kill***8221; the club.

The Ibrox side have been banned from registering any new players for 12 months, as well as receiving a fine of ?160,000 for five breaches of Scottish Football Association rules.

McCoist has reacted angrily to the decision and has called for the governing body to reveal those responsible for what he believes are severe sanctions.

"Plain and simply, I think it is an absolutely shocking decision," McCoist told Blues News.

"I found out the decision last night and I was shocked and absolutely appalled by the way this supposedly independent judicial panel was coming down on us in this form.

"Who are these people? I want to know who these people are. I'm a Rangers supporter and the Rangers supporters and the Scottish public deserve to know who these people are, people who are working for the SFA.

"Make no mistake about it, this is an SFA decision. They have appointed the panel so therefore they are working for the SFA, but who are they?

"I think we have a right to know who is handing out this punishment to us, I really do.

"Like everyone else involved - our team, our supporters, our staff and a lot of neutrals - I am staggered at the severity of the punishment.

"This decision could kill our football club, simple as that. Make no mistake about it."

I expect after all the gnashing of teeth from the bears at Neil Lennon for questioning the SFA's integrity they will be up in arms at McCoist's latest comments?

Did Celtic play by the rules to win our titles? Yes
Did Rangers play the rules to win their titles? No
Have rangers been charged with bringing the game into disrepute Yes

I rest my case.

A quote from elsewhere tonight that sums things up perfectly for me...

So after a decade of subverting every competition they have played in. Denying clubs who register players correctly the right to compete on a level playing field. Grabbing prize money and the abundant financial rewards of Champions League football rightly due to others, Celtic's title is tainted?

Also i see maths is not a strong point with you m8?

Why is maths not or more importantly does it need to be a strong point for me on a Football thread ?

anyway back on topic? most gers fans seem to be saying the punishment is too severe? so what would a fair punishment be?

Thanks mate i wasnt sure and nothing seems to be getting said about it.

Colin did you miss out the word "want" in there somewhere.

Colin i read a good article in the glasgow evening times tonight, The main gripe that the rangers supporters trust has is that the transfer ban was not put upon motherwell nor gretna when they entered administration.

Put Rangers into the 3rd division if they get liquidated, and fined whatever other clubs were fined for going into administration, and a transfer embargo like the other clubs while they are in administration.

No, not fair just let the Rangers continue as they were, thats the only fair solution, but maybe as a sanction to Rangers they could ban Neil Lennon for life instead of the Whyte knight!
