Rangers were triple champions a year ago with an overdraft of £18m.
Lloyds bank forced SDM to sell Rangers as his own businesses were heavily indebted to Lloyds.
Craig Whyte is given Rangers on trust for £18,000,001 ie pay the overdraft and invest £25m over 5 years. Craig Whyte has kept circa £27m, collected taxes from players and staff and ticket money from fans.....and paid no-one.
Rangers go into administration.
The SFA did no "fit and proper" test of Whyte.
They imposed a 10 point ban on Rangers
They barred Rangers from Europe for a seasom
They fined Rangers for "bringing the game into disrepute"
They banned players from signing players for a year "for bringing the game into disrepute". An illegal ban fgs!!
They started an investigation into whether they could take trophies from Rangers 10 days after administration started.
The SFA have shown bias and hatred towards Rangers. We the Rangers fans will never forget or forgive; Reagan is Liewells puppet, Vincent Lunny is Liewells puppet; Aiden O'Neill is just a muppet.
Rangers have been repeatedly done over; rules changed on us, more rule changes in prospect. The SFA are behaving like a branch of a CSC gone wild. There will be another 10,000 bears outside Hampden when they decide to suspend or expell Rangers; to quote Brian Kennedy the SFA will have "blood on their hands".
Rangers; the story so far and the SFA

Just saying that there are reasons why your club isn't liked................Yes Tim and you do realise that a lot of people with medium range memories dislike your club for more serious reasons.

Dos
I dont want special treatment.....either way....thats why I want 3rd division coz thats what we deserve.
I want 3rd division coz any other club that wasnt being used as a cash cow would get this.
I want 3rd division coz its the right thing to do...no other reason.
I'd take SPL with sanctions, wouldnt sit very comfortably with me though.
Rangers will always be Rangers.....Celtic fans would see a game against a newco Rangers as an old firm game, they'd still hate us, if that never dies, neither does Rangers, history or whatever, tis the same entity
3rd division might also get rid of a few clowns like our friend 54 here....I'm ABSOLUTELY, 100%, HUGELY, MASSIVELY, IMMENSELY in favour of that because its the defiant "dont you say a bad word aboot ma team ya d!cck" clowns like this that bring much of the hate and animousity we all experience
The country comes before the club.....has to...we need a country, a league and opposition to merely play football in the first place, thats what its all about and I cant wait till we get back to that

You have to laugh.Here is an alternative view, one that everyone everywhere who is even slightly objective would agree with.
David Murray cheated british taxpayers out of tens of millions of pounds for yrs sing EBT's and spent beyond his means, running rangers into the ground. The bank, quite rightly, forced him to sell as he owed them loads of money.
Murray sold to a crook who stole even more money from the taxpayer and brought the game into disprepute. He was appointed by Murray who is to blame not the SFA. It was RANGERS who appointed a numpty, you dont then blame the SFA for not catching him in time.Well,you might do if you are a total idiot who can't accept any responsibility.
The SFA let rangers off lightly with a ten point deduction this season followed by a 160k fine and a ban on signing players approved by a high court judge. Rangers then, stupidly and arrogantly go to the court of session despite knowing full well what the consequences might be.
The judge there rules it outwith the SFA's power to enforce a transfer ban. FIFA are alerted and the whole of Scottish football could be punished due to the astonishing arrogance and lack of humility from the despised Glasgow Rangers.
What happens next? Here is what i think.Your arrogance has destroyed you. The SFA are raging and will now be left with the choice of banning you from the Scottish cup or a suspension from the game which will mean the death of Rangers. It is likely to be the suspension due to the trouble you have caused and a Scottish cup ban not being a strong enough punishment.No newco, no nothing. THE DEATH of Rangers. That is what you have brought with your arrogance and inability to accept you had done serious wrong and deserved punished.
Once you lose the big tax case and the SFA look at the EBT's you will be stripped of every trophy you have won for probably the last 12 years. You cheating arrogant *%n%s! And it is no less than you deserve.
If you are an example of the typical rangers fan 54 then I have no sympathy for you. It serves you right. You might want to think about that when you have no club to follow.
