ICTFC CEO has come out in support of RFC with a statement condemning Doncaster and McLennan and confirming RFC statement that they had been bullied and had informed Doncaster of that bullying. They also condemned Doncaster and McLennan of mismanagement at best regards their handling of both votes.

He also mentioned discussions with Doncaster, another club's MD and a person from another club that requires independent scrutiny.

I now think Doncaster and McLenann positions are now untenable and if they are as squeaky clean as they trying to make out then they should stand aside until it is resolved.

PS - It is very very interesting to see acolytes of cfc coming on and defending the SPFL - they definitely do not know their history!



10 May 2020 23:04:52
ICT statement says it all. let’s see what our free press say about it now. The ICT statement is another nail in Doncaster and McLellans coffin.
Also time for the Dundee prat to pipe up, with the names of the big hitters mentioned in the phone calls. SPFL board members are all now exposed to the lies and spin. Press have duty to report and Independent investigation must now go ahead.



11 May 2020 00:40:12
True blue, with ict making that statement i don't think we can be denied the inquiry, by law., . pure corruption, mate. fact.



11 May 2020 09:50:46
it will have to be through the courts mate, we have no chance of winning the vote, just read the mighty jacksons q and a with doncaster it was worse than mclellands, that rag of a paper has no shame as to who is pulling jacksons strings.



11 May 2020 16:08:11
Truebluesotrue, so be it, i think the last thing the spfl will want is this going to the next step, . mate.



10 May 2020 18:52:32
Now that more clubs are speaking out against these charlatans at the SFA and SPFL, hopefully we will get something done about them. These fu#ckers only have their own cronies interests at heart. George Orwell summed it up exactly, in the book Animal Farm, namely:- ALL MEN ARE BORN EQUAL, BUT SOME ARE BORN MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS. AYE RIGHT.



10 May 2020 15:07:02
Quite disappointed in chic Young’s take on the radio this afternoon.
He said the only person that has any credit from this situation is Lawwell because of his
silence and that st Mirren would not be kicking up a fuss if relegated .

Well chic do you think Lawwell would be silent if we went down the Dutch route?
No relegation. no champions and prize monies divided equally?
If they can do it why cannot we?
There are as much legal ramifications in France over their decision ( of which we are copying ) which would point to it not being the best decision.
It suits Lawwell to be quite . As he said as long as they get the champions league spot no natter how they get it is all that concerns him. And that is prob to do with his bonus.



10 May 2020 15:53:08
Nothing that comes from chic young is worth listening to.



10 May 2020 15:58:19
chic youngs a bampot.



10 May 2020 16:23:37
Fair point Mols✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.



10 May 2020 18:29:20
Chic's points of view are not given much thought on BBC and are regarded as funny rather than serious or salient. He is seen as a bit of a joke figure and this latest comment back up this perception.

Chic is always at pains trying to keep up the appearance of being a Buddies fan, when we all know he is a blue nose - not so sure mind you - mibbees he is believing his own lies.



10 May 2020 20:00:19
Is that that fountain of knowledge Chic Young that said Laudrup and Boli were not good enough to play in Europe? He’s never been the same since Walter slapped him down in that interview in the tunnel and Archie’s idea of what to do with his microphone gave him the fear. And Still We Follow on.



10 May 2020 20:39:31
I remember that flounder😂😂.



11 May 2020 15:27:45
He also came on one night and said' Rangers will definitely sign Eoin Jess from Aberdeen tomorrow', and, Advocaat must have thought 'aye that's right', and we didn't sign him, talk about egg on Chic's face.



10 May 2020 14:47:02
Lads I'm a Celtic supporter, I view both Celtic and Rangers pages not much of a poster but enjoy the banter on the pages but I have to say I really think Rangers are clucking at strays with the doissier. Just was interested in your lads point of view.



10 May 2020 15:52:17
The term is 'clutching' not clucking mate and why would you bother visiting the Rangers Banter site on a Sunday afternoon?



10 May 2020 15:54:46
The dossier is only a document that asks serious questions of corporate governance.
Now with the ICT CEO saying he will testify to bullying over the vote then the dossier is correct.
We may not stop Celtic thieving a title while people around us are dying but we will change the Celtic placemen that run Scottish football.



10 May 2020 16:02:11
I've never clucked at a stray in my life!



10 May 2020 16:16:10
Bullying/ corruption and telling lies to member clubs? Aye Dennybenny rangers are clutching at straws, NOT!
Hope i spelt clutching correct 👍.



10 May 2020 16:24:13
Lol Denny Benny if the shoe was on the other foot Celtic would be crying from the roof tops. There are so many things wrong with the this whole thing it stinks. The spfl are a bunch of arrogant sly clowns.



10 May 2020 16:25:41
Well Denny, if Rangers were top of the league by 10 points the League would be VOID! You will admit that I hope and then you wonder why we have a problem 🇬🇧.



10 May 2020 16:42:53
It's the like of brown and all the other clowns like Sutton and hartson even rod Stewart the X ranger lover. They say Celtic would have won it anyway you should just accept it lol. If rangers win the game in hand and the 2 old firm games its game on. Celtic are not like Liverpool who are miles ahead. You would think they are in Liverpools position the way they talk. The spfl are Celtic centric.



10 May 2020 16:50:35
Denny Benny why did we not go down the Dutch route? A much fairer outcome for everyone . no relegation. no champions . monies split evenly . Europe placing on current standings? No fear of any legalities

Why did we not?
I’ ll tell you why . because we never got that option that’s why . and that was because it was railroaded thru to suit a specific agenda . People losing jobs and millions of pounds to suit one agenda .

Put the cards back on the table for another vote and I guarantee we have a different outcome .

Doncaster slipped up again today when his only excuse for not making the league void was that it wouldn’t be fair on Dundee untd . ha I noted he never mentioned Celtic .
What a farce.



10 May 2020 18:28:52
Molsgoals you my friend have have hit the nail on the head. Let’s face it we all know who calls the shots at SPFL and he’s not currently employed by them “anymore”

Also a shout out to ICTFC any away game with them they should have our full support!



10 May 2020 19:05:50
Benny, now that mr park has offered to pay for the inquiry the spfl, or sfa (if u like) have absolutely no recuse for the enquiry not to go ahead, do you agree or disagree, mate.



10 May 2020 19:51:58
I remember rod Stewart in a photo with John Greg he had the full rangers strip on arm round Greg and foot on a ball, I know it was a long time ago but it must have took him a while to decide who he was going to follow, and he loves Boris. And he's English, And his bedroom walls are covered in posters of the highly intelligent Buzz Hawkins.



10 May 2020 20:04:49
To be fair Denny, the statement from ICT today further demonstrates the ineptitude of the SPFL. Let’s be honest here, after they chose to write lies to UEFA they needed the resolution to pass as drafted. ICT have now referred to clubs being pressured at short or little notice to accept the proposal - “take it leave it” as they say.

Now, if one club who voted ‘yes’ has the courage to state that they voted under similar duress, then the resolution should legally fail. Now that further information is coming into their domain it would be shocking if all the ‘yes’ voters stick by their guns.



10 May 2020 23:40:36
Oatlander, i'm sure the photo came from john greigs testimonial, mate, wouldn't put my life on It, buti'mwuite sure, mate.



10 May 2020 23:46:20
Is denny benny, united ireland or am I clucking at straws?



11 May 2020 11:22:53
That chic young interview says it all. Mr Knox wasn't wrong.



10 May 2020 12:53:34
Just read Douglas Parks post well put and to the point. I have read a few other articles by other clubs including WhatsApp message seems different outcomes promised to a few clubs. Favours being sought. Indeed even handedness required. Surely there are still true honest men in all clubs who could run a league.



10 May 2020 13:37:42
Now we have Park saying Rangers will pay for the investigation "SHOULD" the other clubs vote to hold one when he knows full well they have already indicated they will NOT support our request.

Is this just more hot air to please our supporters with little substance to back up the damning evidence the board say they have.

How long will this saga be dragged on to make our humiliation ten times worse.



10 May 2020 14:05:51
If cost isn't an issue then what reason do clubs have to say no? That's what they were hiding behind before.



10 May 2020 14:08:31
Bluebilly, rangers must keep full throttle on this mob, even IF they don't get the required 75% vote from the other 41 member clubs on tuesday! Douglas park and john bennett have given in-depth, terrific interviews, over the last 2 days and i certainly back and believe them! If its a marathon to take these useless f*****s down then so be it! We've got our feet on their throats, now let's take the air out their windpipes! Doncaster, mclennan and chubby checker mckenzie couldn't run a sunday morning youth league.
Lets take these 3 OUT! They're absolutely out their depth, there's no question of that. We're by far the biggest football institution in scotland and very capable of squeezing the life out of these f******s, let's do it! We are the ESTABLISHMENT, of the scottish game!



10 May 2020 14:53:12
SGL well said. As I posted earlier in the week Rangers must go for the jugular and get rid of these people. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.



10 May 2020 15:03:13
I don't think there's any 'humiliation' in what rangers have done.



10 May 2020 15:23:45
I'm definitely not defending Doncaster, McLennan and co here as I want them gone but the SPFL clubs should never accept one club offering to foot the bill for an inquiry.

If anybody disagrees then please tell me hand on heart what they would say to Lawwell offering to do the same.



10 May 2020 16:06:28
just read inverness caleys take on it, that should answer your question for you, more crap to hit the fan yet.



10 May 2020 16:18:36
Hi Steven G L.

I will be over the moon if we can get rid of the corrupt SPFL board members .

Only thing is, I feel like a few others do on here that if we do have damning evidence it should have been made public before now surely.



10 May 2020 16:38:02
So bluebilly, you don't see any foundation in our dossier, no blatant lies from the SPFL, no panic from them, been on the tabloids every day pleading their innocence, and trying to belittle our Club, without I may add, giving any contradictory alternatives to what we have stated. There is a growing discontent amongst these other Clubs now, and the SPFL Board know it.



10 May 2020 16:57:50
You don’t get it do you billy . you have swallowed all the hype that the spfl have been spitting out about smoking guns and corruption and of them bullying ( quite clever really ) non of which was ever claimed by rangers .

The inquiry is the vehicle for finding the corruption and factual wrongdoings. If we had that evidence we wouldn’t need an inquiry 👍.



10 May 2020 17:08:25
Iv'e not seen any dossier Irvine ger.

All I am saying is surely the damning evidence should have been made public long ago, not that we Do not have "any" evidence mate.

Where Have I said we do not have any evidence although I have said I have my doubts we have enough to topple Doncaster and his sly cronies.



10 May 2020 17:25:34
you've lost me Mols,

So now you tell me we don't have evidence of wrong doings the enquiry is to "find" evidence of wrong doing and if we had the evidence we would not need an enquiry.

As I say you have lost me mate, or are you just at your one upmanship game to your fellow supporters.

Your Quote.
(The inquiry is the vehicle for finding the corruption and factual wrongdoings. If we had that evidence we wouldn’t need an inquiry)



10 May 2020 18:20:06
Blue billy have you watched John Bennett interview and read Park Q&A then the Falkirk ICT and Partick thistle statements you read them if you can’t see there’s an issue not much point in trying to argue.



10 May 2020 18:38:04
Geronimo all it’s doing is closing an avenue they (SPFL) were attempting to use to by once again using financial fear to try and control the vote
Does it not show how seriously we’re taking this?
Doncaster still using project fear again today
So again as I and many ask if you’ve nothing to hide why so vehemently attempt to obstruct the granting of one
All the Tim’s worry about use the tainted 9iar and the fact They potentially lose their leverage by losing the 3 Lawell stooges.



10 May 2020 19:05:22
Bluebilly I don’t mean any disrespect but you don’t seem very well informed it sounds to me like you are reading headlines from red top rags and coming up with your own conclusions. At no point did anyone at ibrox say they had proof of bullying nor proof of corruption that is why we need the inquiry what we did say is we have proof of poor governance witch I think was proven in the dossier the rest has been hyped by said redtop rags. I believe an independent inquiry would prove bullying and corruption and that is why the SPFL spin doctors have been working overtime to try and discredit us in the media and you one of our own, and your not the only one on here, have been sucked right in your calling your own team embarrassing and humiliating if that’s still how you feel maybe you should just stick your head under the duvet till all this blows over, we’ll give you a shout when all this is cleared up 👍.



10 May 2020 19:06:11
Geronimo, mr park is offering to pay for this inquiry, he is not asking for walter smith, derek johnston and ally mccoist to do the inquiry, he is willing to pay whoever the authorities would use, ie, qc, and sll legal bodies, what's the problem with that mate.



10 May 2020 19:33:57
Highland. put a lot better than ever I could and exactly what I was trying to say .
Blue billy . sorry my friend no attempt at one up manship
The mistakes I have made during this episode are embarrassing including phoning Clyde about votes being changed . when it is allowed under company law .
I didn’t even know the spfl were a registered company and thought they were an independent body . so we have all learned a lot during this episode.
The fact that the spfl are bound by company law is their downfall right enough . and every point we have put forward, and other clubs for that matter, is that they are evidently not representing all members fairly. This is the smoking gun . not corruption . bullying. cohesion etc which are all deflection tactics put into the call oark by them .
Stuart Robertson is duty bound by company law to whistle blow from the board room if he sees infallibility.
Cheers blue billy no offence meant my friend.



10 May 2020 23:00:06
Bluebilly, I wasn't having a go mate, there are transcripts of the main points against Doncaster and McLennan and Mackenzie in the papers, and also 19 pages of summary points somewhere in this Banter section. You may have a point on the timing of the release of our information, I felt the same, but, it is having some positive vibes from other Clubs now.



11 May 2020 00:54:13
Irvger, the club can't announce what we have just yet, telling them the story only gives them time to get there side of lies ready, just like a court case, you don't know rhe evidence until the last minute, giving the accused less time to try getting an out for it, fact, mate.



11 May 2020 12:04:02
all evidence that will be used in a court case has to be declared beforehand to both sides FACT Park will pay for investigation will it be Nimmo Smith again.



11 May 2020 12:31:02
highlandbear you claim no-one at ibrox said they had proof and that the investigation was to uncover the proof yet they called for Doncaster and McKenzie to go before any proof is it not innocent until proven guilty in this country.



11 May 2020 13:25:38
Sporting integrity Douglas Park suggested they should be removed for poor governance and also as their were accused of bullying and coercion, you are correct in a court of law you are innocent until proven guilty, however if you’re accused of wrong doing in a work place quiet often is the case that you will be suspended pending an investigation. If no wrong doing is found you would be reinstated and paid in full for your time off, if on the other hand you are found to be guilty then you would probably be removed from your position permanently. Hope that’s cleared things up for you 👍.



11 May 2020 16:12:12
Sporting int, i know that more than most on here i'd imagine, but the courts keep the accused guessing for as long as possible, that is why they must give an accused person 30 days notice, of the evidence, if the accused is in custody. fact.



10 May 2020 12:37:42
So since 1888 everyone has been out to get the Tims!
The SFA, SPL, SPFL, UEFA etc.
We've had the Masonic referee conspiracy theories as well.
And Leon goes on about Res12 And the 5 way agreement as well?
And they've all asked their club to stand up for them and every time Celtic have shirked their responsibility. Bottled it big time.
And yet look what Rangers are currently doing not just for themselves but the whole of Scottish football - taking on the aholes of the SPFL head on.
That's why we are the Establishment Club!
Proud to be a Rangers Fan. 👍.



10 May 2020 14:12:03
Here here MrTupacman, no time for weak kneed rangers directors/ fans here! let's take them on all the way and defeat the corrupt persons! I back our club 200% to keep the fight going against them, however long it takes and victory against this mediocracy, that's trying to run our game in scotland!



10 May 2020 16:40:00
Agree SGL, instead of run in your final sentence, it should be ruin.



10 May 2020 19:06:27
irvger I see what you done there 😜.



10 May 2020 19:42:41
Mr tupac, yes, let's get this inquiry up and running, what do the cowboys running our football leagues fear?



10 May 2020 11:03:59
Lads it's been a while since I've posted. I hope everyone is keeping well, it's good to know it's still about the Rangers lol. No professor but I think all leagues/ completions should be run by football people not moneymen look at the state lardars3 Ashley has left us and Newcastle in. Who would have ridiculed Platini at the start. Trust is the issue. Why are most clubs not governed by explayers/ managers with a love for their club.



10 May 2020 14:13:06
Walter Smith, say no more pal!



10 May 2020 19:02:53
Add Pat Nevin to the list. On the board that took Motherwell into administration.



10 May 2020 10:58:48
Douglas Park masterclass in the press highlights for me "maybe mr McLennan can ask himself that at his next Q&A"

On possible legal actions For defamation
"Given the concern they have about finances of clubs, I'm sure they will fund this action personally "
At last we're biting back, between this and John Bennet proud to be a bear🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.



10 May 2020 11:09:00
The fix was in!



10 May 2020 11:23:17
Bang on the money Blue blue sea.
Our chairman and assistant chairman douglas park and john bennett handled their interviews very professionally and came across superb. Like yourself they made me so proud! 👏👌👍.



10 May 2020 11:59:45
Agreed
We have lacked a loud and proud leader at the helm.



10 May 2020 12:04:11
As has Robertson.



10 May 2020 12:20:15
John25, I actually think Robertson has represented both our club and the governing body well throughout this unfortunate episode. I have never been his biggest fan but he has equipped himself well in this instance and should receive our support.



10 May 2020 12:27:35
Brilliant from Mr Park, he shoots he scores, never missed a name, beautifully played, we pay for an independent investigation, and the arses fall out of the rogues, delicious, we have these gits on toast, i am sure there are now a few more clubs in our corner, after the debacle of the vote, the offhand way they dismissed the dossier, and that prick MacLennans Q&A with himself, what a riddy, the guy's an idiot. They have all, over the last few days shown their true colours, THEY Do have questions to answer, and they don't have the answers to get them of the hook. The next few days will be interesting, Hearts Partick Thistle and other clubs now deeply unsettled by these crooks supposedly looking after them, being found out day by day.



10 May 2020 13:39:21
Its season ticket time remember.



10 May 2020 14:16:04
Mclennan should have been a cardinal sorry naw, maybe an altar boy, as he knows absolutely f**k all about football! 👍.



10 May 2020 19:43:34
Sweep, what the feck has season ticket time got to do with this debate, there's a cue of 14 thousand waiting on tickets, so again what has it got to do with this instance, mr park has offered to pay for the inquiry, that let's us know we have something not mentioned yet, a confident person is a hard person too beat, mate.



10 May 2020 10:35:49
Douglas Park ripping the SPFL a new arsehole today!
Class, squirm your way out of that one Doncaster and friends! 👍😂👀.



10 May 2020 11:23:58
Two words-'pure quality!



10 May 2020 11:25:23
I’ve already seen the Tim’s on tour on Twitter
Pay your EBT first!
Payback the face painter!
It’s no independent if yous are paying ( note Tim spelling)
Get payment up front!
This mob are hysterical for years SFA/ SPFL corrupt favour rangers etc etc but now?
Can wait to see the hollicom spin on this
Guaranteed there will be some story from years ago about Wee Sean fae Coatbrig who worked for Park will come up with something there will be some form of discrediting of this from Mhedia.



10 May 2020 16:09:10
inverness ripping them a larger ahole with their statement today, absolutely brilliant.



10 May 2020 18:04:35
But I thought we were skint and heading for admin 3.



10 May 2020 18:10:41
Shifty McLennan will come out with some schoolboy reply. 😰😰.



10 May 2020 10:32:27
Good interview from Park this morning. Interesting things in it.
Rangers are willing to fund the investigation into SPFL.
£10m shortfall rangers had has been covered by shareholders.
