Rangers at loggerheads with SFA, relationship may never be fixed – Finance Expert
We’re delighted to welcome football finance expert Dr Daniel Plumley as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Rangers...
Dan Plumley has insisted that the Rangers drama with the Scottish FA does not help with the relationship between the two something that may never be sorted.
The finance expert admitted that “scars run deep” and run back to the demise of the club, although it is not ideal to be at “loggerheads” with the governing body.
It comes after the latest clash between the two from the 2-1 defeat against Celtic at Parkhead with VAR drama taking centre stage with no real end to that saga.
“It doesn’t help is the general message we’ve seen,” he exclusively told Ibrox News.
“You can understand it and obviously the controversy surrounding the Celtic game brought something to a head, and you actually get that with how the club have tried to come at that with the reasons they’ve put forward.
“The relationship doesn’t help with everything else that’s going on and you don’t want to be at loggerheads with the governing body if you can avoid it.
“Again, I think if we track that back further, this also goes back a long way and that goes back to the time and the demise of the club and how they felt wronged by the SFA during that time and those scars run deep and I think that’s also part of the backstory here that we need to be mindful of.
“When you get that kind of big fallout that has happened over the year and that almost becomes irrecoverable and you’re starting to see that with some of the recent stories, and it may never be something that fully gets sorted.
“It does create a problem for the club in some aspects because you are going up against the governing body and you have to be mindful of that relationship.”
