I understand that the Serious Professional has some important work to do in the next few days.
Last week he submitted some paperwork to the Scottish Football Association.
This was to enable the Engine Room Subsidiary to play in UEFA competition next season.
However, it was quickly pointed to him that what he had presented was incomplete and unsatisfactory.
My information is that he has until the end of this week to get it in order so that it can be sent onwards to UEFA.
As it stands at the moment it is imperfectly complete.
Dear reader, the Scottish Football Association are doing their job.
I just wish I could call Turnbull Hutton to tell him about this exciting new development.
Of course, I can hear his rich Fife brogue telling me that he was detecting the unmistakable aroma of shite.
However, I’m standing behind this story and I really miss the Raith Rovers man.
Especially, on like days this.

SFA doing what they’re supposed to do. Aye Right !
I fully understand your standing by your source on this one. However I would most surprised if the SFA rejected the hoons the opportunity to display their magnificence and kultur to a European audience. The hypocrisy , after all they are ignorant , nae brained brexiteers.
I would totally agree with Kingsnake ,and Karen Dunbar, there is definitely a very strong smell of shite.
Well we know that their accounts for 12/13 to 14/15 won’t meet the FFP rules but then again it’s the SFA and UEFA that are looking at this so you wound suspect that a blind eye will be turned
I have to wonder if Hearts or St Johnstone – whomever finishes in 5th place – is just going to quietly accept if Rangers are given a free pass into UEFA competition.
who is saying there will be a 5th place hibs can still put a spanner in the works
I remember SFA admitting Ogilvie being compromised, as he was, and that was correct to say, then they forgot he was, this will follow follow the same profile, all will be good by Friday, the top five teams should boycott next year’s Scottish Cup, fk the SFA.
Ogilvie was the go to man for LNS. He provided Smith with all the paperwork he deemed necessary, guided him around potential icebergs, personally gave evidence to LNS, subsequently proven to be a tissue of lies and for his contribution is now swanning around Europe at UEFA’s expense.
I live in hope that the Craigster’s trial may shine some light on our football authorities shenanigans!
One of life’s certainties will soon be knocking on Ogilvie’s door, the taxman cometh for him and all the DOS/EBT recipients.
I’m sure they have all tucked some monies away just in case, though less we forget Ogilvie spent his £96k on one night out in Glasgow……..copyrite his mate Chic Young, thanks Chico.
The Bears already think the SFA are against them – £250K fine, being demoted (sic) and all that – go figure.
If the SFA decide that refusing the UEFA licence is the lesser of two evils, they’ll be needing protective netting at Hampden – on the outside – and a tunnel to/from the M74 for safe commuting.
Next step an independent commission to review sevco’s application for a Euro place. Imperfect applications often allowed. Right Sandy?
If Phil is standing behind this story one wonders if his sauce is Mount Florida flavoured.
I must be on the drink tonight, because that date of April 1 is looking bizarrely like an 11.
The SFA applying the rules of the sport… to The Stadium John Brown Played For???
Well one way or the other, it’s big news. Either the SFA do their job, or The Rangers play in Europe.
An historic first either way!
I also smell Rafael
More like the SFA trying to give the impression of not just accepting what the new club give them .
They have till the end of the week to sort it out ,AYE RIGHT .
They must think we all came down in the last shower ,hell ,I bet they even think we believe theeir the same club
Did their accounts pass ” the fair presentation” criteria required by one of the Annexes to Article 47?
Or is there money owed to employees under Art 50?
Or is their ability to eventually break even that is dependent on being granted a UEFA licence causing UEFA difficulties
Or all of the above.
Not sure I buy this story even one little bit. For starters, the Serious Professional had to have sent in the paperwork by March 31st. If he only submitted it last week he was already late! 🙂
Oh, and doesn’t the paperwork have to be audited rather than on what King scrawled on back of the fag packet?
This story is going to get very interesting…..
Wee arra peepul! Biggest cheats in football.
“…incomplete and unsatisfactory…” ?
Hmm, wonder if the TRFC submission looked something like;
“P&L : TBD
B/S : TBD
Cash Flow : TBD
Supporting docs ? : WATP
Just give us the licence, or else.”
Do you have any ideas as to what information was missing Phil?
Truthful might help.
Truth? Accuracy?
I sincerely hope that the rules are complied with, and this shower of keech do not shame us in Europe. At the moment, the EU is all set to welcome an independent Scotland as a full member. We really don’t need to expose them to the Billy Boys in case they change their minds.
Hopefully Karen Dunbar makes an acceptable standin for the late, great, Mr. Hutton:

Agree wholeheartedly. They know that there’s a spotlight on them over this and that everyone knows they can’t possibly sail through this licence thing. Plan will be to make it look as if due diligence is being followed with the initial rejection.
Bottom line is that if SFA do their job properly then RIFC shouldn’t get a licence…end of the week is a moot point
I don’t usually doubt your articles Phil, but the SFA actually doing their job? just can’t see it
I’d subscribed for new articles before you changed your host site. Can’t see anywhere to subscribe on this new format.
How do I re subscribe ?
Thanks

Me too. And you’re not getting linked on Celticnewsnow.
ditto
Surely it would be great for football if the mighty SEVCO entered the European arena for the first time ?
Their fans could demonstrate their unmatched singing prowess……..surely ?
At the expense of other teams who have played by the rules?
Next you will propose them for the Eurovision Song Contest !!!
