Romanov attacks SFA over Rangers problems
Nine months after buying out Sir David Murray for £1 Stewart Regan revealed yesterday that the SFA hadn’t been able to get any information from Whyte’s legal team to perform a fit and proper test.
While the SFA sat on their hands Whyte failed to pay income tax and national insurance to HMRC resulting in Tuesday’s move to put the club into administration.
In December Hearts were threatened with sanctions from the SPL about non-payment of wages but other than a 10 point deduction for administration the SPL appears uninterested in the non-payment of income tax from one member club whilst other clubs cut their costs dramatically to stay in business.
Hearts will see a fraction of the £800,000 that they are owed from Rangers for the transfer of Lee Wallace with Romanov pointing the blame at the authorities for allowing the crisis at Ibrox to develop.
“The bankruptcy of Rangers shows again how insolently and arrogantly operate the Scottish football mafia,” the Lithuanian claimed.
“They stole taxpayers’ money, violating the rules of honest competition between the clubs. And for that were not even stripped of second place in the league table.
“And it was all happening while they desperately wanted to push Hearts into bankruptcy through the tax authorities and the league. They plotted conspiracies in our club and tried to spread panic.
“But in fact they needed all this just to distract attention from their own dubious activities.”
Hearts are due to visit Rangers on March 3.
