Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!


Recommended Posts

Really, Is this what we've become? If you're not part of the lynch mob you must be one of them.

If you're genuinely interested why don't you go back through my previous posts. I don't have anything to hide.

I will vouch for Pull My Strings, he's an Arab of fine standing for the years i've been posting on here.

We need to move on or get bogged down in an unwinnable battle against a clearly biased system. I intend to refer to Sevco as cheats from now on and will never let them forget it.

Presumably the dual-contract findings will see them expelled regardless of the appellate decision. Won't it? WON'T IT?!?!

I just can't get my head round this - if Rangers F.C. (oldco) are going to be liquidated shortly, and The Rangers F.C. (newco) are coming into being, I can't for the life of me see how you can transfer 'history'.

If a clubs liquidated, it's liquidated, short and simple. how on earth can you transfer anything other than the so-called 'share' ?

I don't get it but probably the SFA and oldco/newco understand it all.

You can't have it both ways though.

If they're a new club [note: not company] then they're not responsible for another club's misdemneaours. Thus no transfer embargo, paying of fines, etc.

Should Juve have been killed following their match-fixing shenanigans? Marseille? etc (it's a long list I'm sure).

Yes. Of course they should have. Any and All individuals / clubs / members of sporting authorities proven to be involved in "fixing" sports results be it by way of fraud & deception, steroids/doping, financial doping, etc they should be banned for life. All trophies/awards that were won by the guilty by way of such cheating should be removed from them and the reason for their removal should be recorded in the record books for all to see as warning.

Green bought the intellectual property of OldCo, which clearly includes the strip, the badge, etc. barring a challenge by BDO as liquidator of the terms of sale or a (as I understand it unlikely) legal argument that using the marks is misleading, they can thus call themselves "Rangers" and wear the shirts.

The history bit is trickier. The Bears will argue that the club was separate from the OldCo, was purchased by NewCo and has continued. Everyone was else will argue liquidation killed the history and the club was not distinct from the legal entity.

The SFA license and SFL/SPL share is separate from, but related to, both the legal corporate form and the metaphysical and legally indistinct concept of "the club" the Bears rely on. By dropping Rangers to the Third rather than making them apply the SFL acknowledged some continuity between OldCo and NewCo, making sanctions possible but also bolstering the Orcs "club not company" line.

As a practical matter, regardless of what happened Bears were going to claim the history (see Juventus and the disputed titles) and the rest of the world would see, at best, an asterix over it.

If, as expected, the SPL inquiry ends up stripping titles then pub quiz questions involving titles won are going to turn into brawls in the years ahead.

Fair enough, you're straight edge. I can respect that.

No8,(nice No8) it must be difficult to support your team (I deliberately don't say 'club')

and at the same time dissociate yourself from a large body of the support.

I genuinely hope that there really exists a "decent" Rangers support, for the future of fitba'.

I have one "rangers" pal, a good friend, who has a similar views to you.

I hope you guys prevail.

Pished, so being honest.

eta he's not my only pal, before any c***s start.

Is that your other pal in your avatar. :lol:

couldn't resist, sorry

Behave yourself. There was no appetite in Scottish football to completely destroy its most successful team and nor should there have been.

I hate Rangers as much as the next man but it would have been vindictive in the extreme to deliberately bury them forever (as much as we might all have enjoyed that outcome). Their crimes are serious and I'm sure there's more punishment to come but I think we need to retain a little bit of perspective here. The reason we hate them (the bigotry, the arrogance, the bully boy tactics) are not related to the current situation and it would be unfair to punish them for the sin of being generally offensive and obnoxious. The last company folded. This new company are trying to keep the football team alive. They've been granted some special dispensation in order to do that but, equally, they have been told that they must also bear some special sanctions if they want to retain the link with the old club. Personally, I think the outcome is entirely fair and proportionate, certainly far more just than what could have been foisted upon us.

Fvck me this is hard. On one hand I want to agree with you and on the other two hands I want to disagree.

I suppose I want them to survive, but on my terms. What chance of that?

None at all considering their attitude. Not just the fans attitude.

Thankfully, it's not up to me.:huh:

Que sera.

sera, whatever will be, will be, consigned to historee, que sera, sera.

Assuming running-up debts leading to administration is also financial doping... presumably you'd expel Morton, Dundee, Livingston, Motherwell, Clachnacuddin, etc. from Scottish football too?

What about MadVlad-style debt-for-equity doping?

From looking at Twitter one thing is certain, Rangers fans HATE the club being referred to as Newco, or Sevco.

Lovely.

Which is why its annoying P+B reverted away from the Celtic v Sevco5088 forum :angry:

I rarely went in but its title was gonna hurt them baaaaaaaaaad.

Shit, I don't want those horrible kunts to survive. I'm just pointing out that, leaving my emotional baggage aside, it's probably fair.

I don't know what you've become, or what you were. You seem a reasonably guy/gal. I hate celtic and rangers and what they stand for. Both were founded for honourable reasons, and have mutated into what they are today. Both clubs and their attitudes embarrass me as a Scot living in a foreign land. They reflect badly upon our society.

Anyway, how do you reckon either

1. rangers, or

2. Whatever Sevco end up becoming,

have been punished accordingly?

In case (1), the point deduction is an automatic sanction for entering admin. The 160K fine was around 1% of what the club stole in ONE YEAR.

In case (2), the new team has been ushered into the SFL ahead of other teams who are arguably more deserving of a place. What is not arguable is that Sevco in no way fit the criteria for league membership, including not even being members of the SFA.

Accordingly? I think not.

Including Livingston in there with the other clubs is a bit harsh as they shouldn't have been expelled for their repeated ventures into administration. Rather they should never have been allowed to exist in the first place.

''Fair''?

My interpretation of 'fair' would include ripping apart Ibrox brick by brick and crushing them to dust, ripping up the turf after copious amounts of weedkiller had killed it so that nobody could regrow it, then salting the earth below so that nothing would grow there for a thousand years. This would stop the neo-orc pilgramages yet allow for daily visits by busloads of Scottish schoolkids to see our countries shame. A ploughed field.

I'm looking forward to seeing the titles and cups that the cheating b*****ds cheated to win being removed from them, and the record/history books recording the reasons why those titles and cups were removed. I'm looking forward to the results of the fraud squad's criminal investigation into the running of the cheating b*****ds club/business. I'm looking forward to the results of BDO's forensic investigation of the mismanagement of the business/club.

There is much more karma to come for them but that big treble is what i am looking forward to most in regards to those cheating b*****ds. wink.gif
