Maybe the brothers at the sfa can help?
Thing is he hasn't bet against rangers,so surely a similar punishment to black and simonsen would be consistent? We shall see.
At the time he signed I thought it was a good move from a footballing perspective for Rangers. He was excellent with Burnley last season, their player of the year in a promotion campaign but rightly recognised that he was going to struggle to get in their team in the PL, so it looked like a good move for him. I thought he had matured a bit from his past, and last season certainly seemed to provide some evidence of that but now he is back in the limelight, which he wasn't at Burnley, it seems to have caused the old Joey to reemerge!!
No idea about any other Rangers motives behind the signing but not sure he would ever be anywhere near the quality of "name" that would sell more STs, I would imagine them simply getting to the top division would see them sell all the STs they thought they could.
