We have been crippled by the SFA & SPL
The SPL have kept ALL the money we were due for 2011/2012 season, they also blackmailed Rangers into adding Our TV games to their TV deal, or they wouldn't agree our Football licence. This means our games in Div3 have been shown the most by far, than any other team, including the SPL. But Rangers get £700 a match TV money (Fact), kick offs have been moved to stupid times for TV, affecting our Gates.
The SFA have also kept all the money due to Rangers for the season 2011/12, they also stole, money coming in from UEFA to us.
Our administrators kept £3million owed to us by Everton (for Jelavic), But Rangers have paid foreign Clubs to settle deals not fully paid for, before crash ( Including nearly a £1 million to Rapid Vienna as last payment for you guessed it Jelavic)
They also slapped a transfer Ban, that meant, with little money we had to buy some players in a couple of weeks just before of this season, Aug 2012
The transfer embargo will not be lifted until Sept 1, we only agreed this ban, in the belief of being in the SPL and selling other players to raise cash.
Of course the SPL voted against us and we went to Div3, but the transfer ban still came into place.
Selling our main assets , Our Top Players
Nope like RATS deserting a sinking ship, they used a players Union option of refusing to join new holding company and signed for other Clubs, pocketing the cash themselves.
One player we hold no grudges over is Sone Aluko, just about out of contact and who left with our best wishes
But Steven Whittaker, Steven Naismith, Rhys McCabe, Jamie Ness, Kyle Lafferty, Steve Davis and Alan McGregor
They're no better than the stuff you wipe off your shoe, while walking in most streets these Days
It is also of note that most haven't exactly moved forward in their careers
---------------
No one tried to help us, from the media, in the football authorities or our Politicians, in fact most gloried in our pain and came back to kick us again and again.
Hearts FCs parent company have went bust and over the last few weeks, loads of people including Alex Salmond have gave them support, all over Scotland ,politicians, media and others Clubs are talking about changing the rules, brought in to harm us, be lessoned to protect, Hearts & Dunfermilne (also in trouble)
WE have the 5th biggest home attendances this season in the UK, we have viewing figures on Sky, up with most EPL matches and that dwarf all other Scottish games combined
On some Saturdays we have more at Ibrox than are at ALL other Scottish games, Sat & Sun, added together
BBC Scotland say as a 3rd Division club we are not worth full coverage, all the while, there is a waiting list of the Worlds media trying to cover the Rangers story, with interviews and documentaries.
We have been inundated with messages of support from Clubs all round the World. We are constantly in the Worlds sports press.
The SFA & SPL etc have been holding meetings on the future of Scottish football, we have not been invited. At the same time we are invited by UEFA and the European Club Association (ECA)to all their meetings.
Am I bitter Yes
am I exaggerating NO
Just go and check
