Lets put another spin on it though, what if this was a hostile takeover, the fact that he pleaded guilty to 42 counts of tax fraud or whatever it was would and should lead to a thorough investigation into him by any football authority, and the fans of any team in a hostile situation would be extremely wary and possibly outright anti him taking over!!

Cooper, the problem you have is the SFA seem to be all over the place with their rulings on a number of issues, so god knows what they will do in this situation!!!

Trus, Yes you are right about what the SA authorities said, but that was right after he paid his fine to them to avoid jail after his convictions!! And the Court of Sessions are applying a different set of rules that the SFA supposedly adhere to. Sure these can be used as part of his evidence that he is fit and proper, but they don't guarantee his success.

As regards the claim you make about the authorities, Scottish football is a funny business, its a lot more paranoid about all manner of things, so me justified, some not, but the common theme seems to be that others are out to get someone, and multiple teams seems to think the same people are against each of them!!! Someone is right and the rest are wrong, but the lack of consistency in the judgements and ruling they make leads to this complete mistrust in the authorities from all sides to start with!!!
