Rangers Then, Sevco Now, Scotland's Shame Forever....

[mondo_notion]

I know a lot of posters on here aren't North East based and wont be down with the Doric so I ran @NaeMairNeeps post through a translator from Doric - English. (I chose Cockney but other are available on request).

Ah dinna Beans on Toast often, and fan ah dae, it's usually for a giraffe ( and why nae? ... ah get a Robin Hood 'eap o' chuckles oot o this wind ... so cheers ) ... so it winna mak a Hoppin' Pot o' difference fit ah say ... but for fit it's worf ... even if ma tuppenceworf is only worf a 'a'penny ... ah dinna gie a **** aboot rangers titles. before the bleedin' liquidation o the bloomin' auld Rub-A-Dub, ah didna ken 'a many league titles, cups etc they 'ad won ... ah didna gie **** then, ah dinna gie a **** na, and never 'ad the urge nor inklin tae find oot. as somebody previously said ... if we strip pertainin 'onours fae the record books, they will Beechams Pill claim they won them. so tae apply logic, if they 're worthless tae abody but 'them' ... they might as 'eaven and 'ell keep the f**kers ... maks nae difference. only team which 'as Kate Moss-ed oot, in terms o titles/cups is rasellick ... and in real terms, rasellick 'ae a Robin Hood case tae claim they 'ave Kate Moss-ed oot financially ... and would win it if they could be 'rsed .... but that's their problem ... and a problem I similarly dinna gie a **** aboot. i 'ate stewarty milne almost as much as ah 'ate the cheeks ... that's me problem, and wahn that ah dinna ask anybody tae gie a **** aboot.... and tae be 'onest, ah dinna gie too much a **** aboot it masel. what ah dae gie a **** aboot tho, ... is the prospect o the new Rub-A-Dub winnin any trophy atween na and the nickle and dime ah'm nae fit tae mak ma ain cup o' Rosy Lee. so **** the auld titles .... let's focus and 'strip' them o' any/all titles they Orange Peel entitled tae this season .. and the next ... and the .... in me 'humble' opinion .... I fin' it's better oor team, fae whistle and pop tae bottom, concentrates on wot we need tae do .... includin' preventin' sevco winnin their Damien Hirst ever non-diddy trophy/title ...... and we can! coyr.

I appreciate people are bored of the saga, but the fact is stripping the titles does more than just affect the huns, it shows the incompetence of the SPFL and the SFA… hence why it wont happen. However, do we just sit back and say its acceptable, hell no. Lets not forget, those who were in charge while this all happened are still in charge. That incompetence does not just go away, its still there and who is to say they aren’t breaking the rules now?

The only reason there is less of a desire right now is because we are doing well and the huns are imploding. Lets just imagine they won the league last year and we finished mid table… the desire right now would be massive. Don’t let us doing well get in the way of justice, because like it or not, this will NOT last forever and those cuunts will start to finish above us and win cups and titles again. Those who sit back and do nothing now, will regret it later. Time to move on…? Never. This affected all levels of football in Scotland, not just the SPL and sweeping it under the carpet is what they want.

I don't think there is less of a desire now because we are doing relatively well. I generally wouldn't give a **** about them and their dodgy titles if we were pish now

As said above by someone else, the only club probably cheated out of titles/cups was Celtic. Not as if we were competitive during that period.

As I said, fire on anyone that wants to fight the good fight. But to me, at this point, its just a lot of pishing in the wind

[Stavrum]

Estimated total fan spend per club during the 'EBT Years'.

This is money paid into Scottish football by ordinary, working punters who were watching a competition with a club that the Supreme Court has determined was operating illegally, and the club's then chairman has stated they "had players they wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford". The people receiving this money are either still in position or have swanned off into the sunset with it.

But aye, "move on"...

Saw it on Twitter
My guess is that it's season ticket sales for the EBT years for all the clubs.

Absolute nonsense.

Celtic
Runners up 5 times in league
Runners up in the Scottish once
Runners up in the League Cup twice

Queen of The South
Runners up in Scottish once

Falkirk
Runners up in the Scottish once

Dundee
Runners up in the Scottish once

Ayr
Runners up in the League Cup once

Dundee United
Runner up in the League Cup once

St Mirren
Runners up in the League Cup once

But lets not forget about every team they played en route to these successes. Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts, Dundee Utd, Motherwell, Dunfermline, Falkirk, Caley, Livi, Dundee, Partick and Gretna. But that's only the league,

there was the Scottish Cup, Berwick then again in the replay, Hibs, Forfar, Partick, Arbroath, Ayr, Dunfermline, Motherwell, East Stirling, Hibs again, Partick again, St Johnstone, St Johnstone again, Forfar again, Hamilton and St Mirren

Then theres the League Cup where they defeated Airdrie, Ross County,Celtic, Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen, Celtic again, Dundee United, East Fife, Motherwell, Hearts again, Queen of the South, Dundee, St Johnstone, Dunfermline, Killie and Motherwell again

All the above were cheated as they played against illegitimate players that "they couldn't have afforded otherwise".

Wee Barry declared bankrupt, which is a shame. Bet you his wife is minted though.

First of many I'd imagine

Shame. How the f@ck did he manage that. Surely he got a wedge in guffball

[Mason89]

Falkirk, St.Mirren, Q.O.S, Dundee Utd

All tiny clubs that reach finals once in a generation. I'd be suprised if their fans want to move on

Aye, just before Hector chaps the door.
All assets transferred in to a third parties name.
So transparent.

[Pacman1903]

Will Wee Barry get liquidated and come back as the Wee Barry

[Rochead]

Naw, he will still be wee Barry, only difference being he will have four champions league and three World Cup medals added to his kid on collection.

[Aldo1983]

The Poppinjay will be owned by "Harry Ferguson" for a few years then he'll take it over again.

[Redmadders96]

Rangers could face multi-million-pound claims against their assets after Henderson & Jones, who specialise in buying legal claims and pursuing them through the courts, purchased Wavetower, the company used by former owner Craig Whyte to buy the club, and Sevco 5088, who then acquired the Glasgow outfit.

Hope this is true

Sorry - meant to credit it in original post! From 'Inside SPFL' on Twitter.

I assume it's total attendances multiplied by average ticket price - working it back for the Dons seems to loosely add up to me:

£43,000,000 / 10 years = £4,300,000 per year
£4,300,000 / 19 home games = £226,315 per game
£226,315 / £18.50 (guesstimate of average ticket price) = 12,233 average attendance
