Ross County the latest not to side with Lawwell

Been away & couldn't get into new site. Catching up anew now . This cretin really needs to be brought down a peg or six. Glad to see there's a few( hopefully many more) clubs starting to distance themselves from the filth.
 
Lieswell is a sleekit calculated snide cnut, for him to get this so wrong smacks of arrogance on a whole other level or are we are missing something.
who leaked the letters ?
 
You'd have to think the other clubs in Scotland must be tired of their behavior. These days they're the face of Scottish football in Europe. It's one thing when they're causing controversy by holding up ira banners and singing ira songs. Fans from other countries and even Scotland wouldn't see or know what this is all about, so it probably wouldn't phase them.

When you're watching a game from Europe or even the US and you see/hear about fans attacking players and see sellick players making arses of themselves up against Neymar, you're starting to make Scottish football look like a big(ger)joke. (no laughing at the back)

ROY McGregor, the Ross County chairman and major shareholder, has appealed for “peace to reign” in Scottish football following the SFA’s decision to reject the SPFL’s call for an independent inquiry into the financial collapse of Rangers.

Stewart Regan, the SFA chief executive, defended the governing body’s refusal to support a review into the events which led to the liquidation of Rangers oldco back in 2012 on Monday.

Regan revealed that Celtic - who have called the move a “failure of transparency, accountability and leadership” - were the only one of their 108 member clubs to have contacted his organisation asking them to look into the affair.

The Parkhead club would like to see the Ibrox club’s extensive use of Employee Benefit Trusts during Sir David Murray’s reign examined further in the wake of the UK Supreme Court judgement on their legality.

The SPFL board, who announced back in July that no further disciplinary action would be taken against Rangers and none of the titles they won between 2000 and 2011 taken away from them, had called for an independent review into the saga. They will discuss the latest development in the ongoing stand-off at a meeting next week.

However, Stewart Milne, the Aberdeen chairman, last week called the bid to pursue the matter further “unhealthy” and urged other Ladbrokes Premiership clubs to move on and stop “dwelling on the past”.

Hibernian released a statement on Monday revealing they did not support the SPFL board’s appeal for a judicial review and questioning the merit in spending “significant sums of money and huge reserves of time and energy to challenge already lengthy and detailed legal advice”.

Now McGregor, whose Dingwall club only won promotion to the top flight in the 2011/2012 season, has admitted he would like to see the leading clubs in this country concentrate fully on ensuring a prosperous future.

“I don’t have any particular stance on it one way or another,” he said. “It’s a matter for the clubs who were involved at the time. We weren’t in the Premier League when it happened so I don’t have a particular view.

“I’m not one to judge one way or another. I don’t know the rights and wrongs of it. It would be wrong for me to make a judgement on it as we weren’t there at the time. We got into the Premier League after it happened. They (the SFA) have gone through the process and taken legal counsel.

“But I do think we have had so much pain and so much distress in Scottish football that it is just time to move on. I would like peace to reign. Scottish football has been through enough turmoil.”

Rangers were fined £250,000 in 2013 after an independent commission chaired by Lord Nimmo Smith found they had failed to properly disclose side-letter payments to players contrary to both SFA and SPL rules.


Regan this week expressed doubt the handling of the Rangers financial crisis by the SFA, SFL and SPL five years ago would ever be accepted by everyone in Scottish football even if the SFA agreed to an inquiry.

“I think it would be really difficult to convince those who believe in conspiracies that there isn’t a conspiracy at play,” he said. “Some stakeholders won’t ever get closure.”

McGregor, a successful Highland businessman who is also the chairman of the Global Energy Group, also feels that an independent review would be expensive, time-consuming and would ultimately achieve little.

“We could argue about this for another 10 years and I’m not sure one side or another would be satisfied with the outcome,” he said. “It is not going to heal anything.”

The fact the SPFL board called for an independent review when it has subsequently been shown that only one of its 42 member clubs – Scottish champions Celtic – has been in touch with the SFA about the matter has raised eyebrows.

However, McGregor revealed he had no issues with the board, which comprises Les Gray of Hamilton Academical, Ann Budge of Hearts and Stewart Robertson of Rangers from the Ladbrokes Premiership, acting on behalf of every senior club in the country.

“I wasn’t involved in this decision even though I am involved at a club,” he said. “It was decided by the SPFL board, it wasn’t decided by the clubs.

“The clubs are there to play football. These are governing body issues. This is a matter for the powers that be. That’s why they (the board) were voted in.”

The fat Japanese is out on his own and he's looking more and more like a total f.ucking bellend
 
Doncaster always maintains he is just a servant to the will of the clubs. When it is now obvious he meant servant to one club only.

Not convinced that County are motivated by the travelling support, as tremendous as it was.

No, like the rest of the sane world, they just want to move on from this pish.
 
There is reason behind this by the tims. I don't think they are getting the support expected from the clubs, so are pushing the small tax case investigations by other methods. If we have proof that this is weighted by the great unwashed, then I would expect all out war by our board.

I suspect many of the lower league clubs do not back the Celtic stance either.

On Wednesday 26th July, I sent the email below to every Scottish senior club indicating that their club logo was displayed on the website dedicated to stripthetitles. I used the email addresses listed on the SPFL website. Five addresses may have been updated and emails were bounced back from Motherwell, Forfar, Albion Rovers, Berwick Rangers & Raith Rovers.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Club Intellectual Property Rights.


On the following website, a copy of your club logo is prominently displayed.

https://twitter.com/1stripthetitles?lang=en

I wish to draw this matter to your attention and ask the following two questions.

Has permission been granted to use your official club logo?

Does the appearance of your logo on this website indicate that your club endorses the view presented on this site?

Both internationally and at club level the future of the Scottish game looks bleak. Engagement in a form of open civil war within the Scottish game seems, to me, to serve no purpose.

Yours faithfully

Many thanks for drawing this matter to my attention.
Clearly there is no endorsement or indeed permission given to carry our logo.

In the first instance I have forwarded to our governing body, the SPFL to ask them to address the matter centrally.

I will keep you apprised of developments.

Kind regards

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. For the avoidance of doubt Dumbarton Football Club has not and will not give permission for the use of the Club logo for the purpose stated on this website, nor do we endorse the view presented.


It is our view that this is a matter for the football authorities to address in accordance with SPFL and SFA Rules.

Brilliant avatar, bud.
 
The SPFL board meet soon to discuss a response to the SFA for turning down their request for an enquiry.
Surely to God they will now drop it and say subject closed.
I look forward to Doncaster's press conference afterwards, wonder how he will spin things to justify the initial request ever happening.

Well done for this pal
 
Did MacGregor not stand up to them before on one of their crusades against us not long after our takeover? Can't recall the details but have several friends who are county fans and vaguely recall MacGragor giving liewell a pasting before?
 
And another thing...

Given Hibs, Ross County, Sheep, Kilmarnock and obviously Rangers are against this, why isn't one of our intrepid press pack following up with the rest of the top flight to gauge appetite for this letter? Fairly sure Gollum has done that kind of thing before when it's against us. It's an open door and would place Doncaster under extreme pressure.

And yet - nothing.
 
It's nice to see some clubs (and growing in numbers) are happy to just move on and not support the Celtic ideals. More clubs are coming around to the fact that Celtic just want to run Scottish football and Celtic now even just assume they speak for everyone on every matter. Clearly they don't and it's about time this was made incredibly clear.

Well done GD as well. Good to see these other clubs are not happy about that stupid "strip the titles" shit that has been banding about.

What is disappointing is that despite these clubs doing the right thing and saying the right things their fans appear to be generally right behind Celtic. I know that means nothing with regards to the actual attempts from Celtic but poor that Scottish football fans just can't move on from their hatred of Rangers - especially since most would probably struggle to give you a reason other than "just coz right" to the question.
 
Just thinking out loud, but maybe the way the Jamie Walker deal went they,re all worried we can out wait them now. In stead of just caving in.
 
I cant imagine a time when we will get back to purely football matters in this country.

With most clubs it is simply football rivalry, but the dhims are hell bent on our destruction
which will never happen.

Which brings me right back to Doncaster, again.

He wrote to the SFA on behalf of ALL the SPFL clubs. Who gave him that authority? Why did he believe he had the support of all SPFL clubs?

He's put himself right out on a limb for someone, and that limb is being slowed hacked away right under his feet.

You just know If this was the tims in our position the bombardment of Doncaster to explain his remarks would be relentless.

I bet no journalist asks him to explain it.

I can't back this up, but I have a feeling that our board are making their mark on clubs outwith the filth. I'm beginning to see a move away from universal hatred, (at board level at least), and maybe a new view towards Rangers possible power surge.

Maybe a bit of charm being worked in the background?
Either way, at least it looks like a parting of the clouds to a point and there might be a bit of sunshine peeking out now.

It took long enough
 
You'd like to think with more and more clubs coming out that Doncaster should explain publicly why he has lied and misrepresented SPFL clubs.
 
Celtic revel in this us against the world pish, probably lawells game right from the start....he knew nothing would happen around this enquiry but he has made the sizeable and vocal group of lunatics in his support think he was on there side all along.
