What SPL knew about Rangers' EBTs and why David Murray was a 'pirate' - Roger Mitchell

[@charlestownley981]

For every fiver fergus spent murray moonbeams borrowed a million quid for players they couldn't afford and the rest is history. EBT la la land became extinct.

I get that, but a true story here, I was just about to buy a lotus Europa fibreglass sports car in the seventies, however at the same time David had horrible accident at Longniddry in similar type car I wanted at the same slight bend approaching duel carriageway and same tree my mate hit. I was warned about a fiberglass car not giving same protection as metal and declined the offer. I'm a Tic man but David M was a great guy,and if barriers were in place he wouldn't have suffered as he did.

[@spinozacelt]

Hugh Adam had Murrays’ number when he described him as an “Impressario not a businessman”.IE a flash guy concerned more about his image instead of the health of the business.Hence he couldn’t accept Celtics’ growth without bending the rules to counter it.We all know how that ended.

[@pjmcgoldrick1967]

Mitchell does himself no favours in that chat. A low calibre individual. But it gives an insight into why hundreds of illegal player registrations were deemed only "imperfect" to allow a decade of cheating to go unpunished. It's the smaller clubs deprived of trophies I feel sorry for. Celtic have already passed the trophy haul of both Ibrox clubs.🇮🇪

They refused Rangers football clubs offer to pay back a sum of money which was higher than the figure that HMRC says is the real figure because Dr John Reid MP a cabinet minister in the labour government at the time refused....he was the honorary chairman of that well known sporting institution that covered up mass child abuse St their sporting club....that club was celtic football club!!! The football authorities in Scotland CHANGED THE RULES to punish Rangers...all the other clubs in the premier league went along with celtic bar Kilmarnock because they thought the attendance at their grounds would increase....they did the opposite...even celtics attendance dropped and they shut the top tiers of their ground and covered them in banners!!! The SFA wanted Rangers to just drop down one division....Rangers refused as their fans wanted yo punish the premier league....Rangers had the highest home attendance in Scotland even when playing in the lower leagues...meanwhile Celtic were raking in champions league money because they had no competition...just as they wished!!! Ask those clubs now if they would have voted the same way, knowing what they know now???

Still haunts them - to this day that Walter Smith done 9iar and then came back to win 3 on the bounce with no money , on the back of a European final . Its funny to me , that since 2012 , Rangers have won 3 domestic trophies and reached a European final - Celtic have won everything and done NOTHING in Europe .
