AberDon Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thought it might be worth keeping track of the 'ever hard done by' Sevco. Here's a squad list (taken from Sky) with notes for those rejected the switch to newco/out of contract. If there's any errors, please feel free to correct. Goalkeepers Alan McGregor - Rumoured to be rejecting switch to newco Neil Alexander - Out of contract Scott Gallacher Grant Adam Defenders Dorin Goian Kirk Broadfoot Sasa Papac - out of contract Lee Wallace Steven Whittaker - rejected switch to newco Carlos Bocanegra - rumoured to be rejecting switch to newco/on verge of signing for Toronto Ross Perry Chris Hegary - out of contract Darren Cole - out of contract Midfielders Lee McCulloch - rumoured to be staying Maurice Edu Steven Davis - rumoured to be rejecting switch to newco Alejandro Bedoya John Fleck Jamie Ness Salim Kerkar Kyle Hutton Andrew Mitchell Rhys McCable - rejected switch to Newco Robbie Crawford Lewis MacLeod Barry McKay Juan Ortiz Strikers Kyle Lafferty - rumoured to be rejecting switch to newco Steven Naismith - rejected switch to newco David Healy - out of contract Andrew Little - out of contract Sone Aluko - rejected switch to newco Kane Hemmings If I've missed any OOC players, or indeed any other players, feel free to update. I'll keep this up to date as best I can. Aluko is out of contract as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 My opinion is that Sevco should be treated within the rules. So they should be allowed to apply for the third division spot, and their application should be considered alongside any other potential candidates, on its merits. There are rules in place, and they should be kept to. I wouldn't be opposed to them starting in division 3. No higher though. Oh they can apply, but there must be no precedent for letting Walter Mitty led phoenix clubs back into the league. It must be rejected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanmistermustard Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 If newco Rangers were denied the chance to play in the SFL then surely they would have to start at the bottom of the Second Division in the Juniors Central League. Well Maryhill are in that league and i dont want the moronic Rangers fans coming anywhere near the ground on a Saturday at 2pm. We have a decent ground with very good fans and a very pleasant atmosphere and i dont want their polluted filth pouring out wrecking the place. Junior clubs No to Newco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Aluko is out of contract as well. I left him as I'm sure Rangers (oldco) have the option to extend it by a year if they so wish. I'd assume they'll take that option up, considering the massive deal they're making of him rejecting the switch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 you should pit this as a seperate thread,pinned ,and keep it updaterd That's not a bad point actually... Think I might leave it for now, may provide some light relief for us all when we inevitably hit a downer again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovaMan Bairn Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Still think the leavers are another smoke and mirror job from the Walter group Good post. Still think there are more twists and turns to come in this story. Best to keep our feet on the ground at this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Oh they can apply, but there must be no precedent for letting Walter Mitty led phoenix clubs back into the league. It must be rejected. So if Gretna applied? No, I disagree with you here, although I agree that they must not be allowed into the first through some jiggery pokery and rule manipulation. If Rangers apply, they should be considered fairly alongside any other applicants. I see no problem with them having a chance to apply, as long as the rules are all adhered to. Eta, thats the rules from both sides, them AND the SFL. Edited June 24, 2012 by xbl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Court Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Somewhat bemused this afternoon to see about 20 people wearing newco tops, wandering among the graves in Craigton Cemetery before getting back onto a tour bus. Some sort of farewell ritual for the club they used to support? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) So if Gretna applied? Gretna can apply, but they wouldn't stand a chance of getting in. Airdrie United were officially rejected, though it has been said that it was with a nod and a wink in Clydebank's direction. Sevco are no different: their league status will become void, they should not be allowed back in. Fester in the Juniors and, like Clydebank, try and build a new setup. Or just fold and take their cretinous support on a one-way journey to the centre of the sun. If Rangers apply, they should be considered fairly alongside any other applicants. I see no problem with them having a chance to apply, as long as the rules are all adhered to. That would be considering them fairly. Taking into account sporting integrity, their application must not succeed. Another applicant would get the spot.

2THibs Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Good post. Still think there are more twists and turns to come in this story. Best to keep our feet on the ground at this time. A 50,000 debt free hunbrox can still outspend the best of the rest in the SPL by 4 to 1. All the more reason to ensure the punishment fits the crime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoTeamGaz Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 unfortunatley I think a couple of those on RM have a (unintentional) point why exactly are all these chairmen falling over themselves to say no - they have not heard what the proposal is yet - there has been absolutely no mention of what sanctions would consitiute a yes vote & that, to my mind, in highly suspicious. I put it to you all that there wont be a vote, the chairmen already know this so can happily say they'd come out & say no to gain favour with the fans The SFA will steamroller in before the vote takes place & remove both the SPL & SFL from the picture, there will be not voting on it, it'll be like it or lump it (& by god will they f**king love it) Rangers will wnd up in whatever they decide is teir 2 as acceptance of the transfer of their SFA membership, the chairmen will say it was taken out of their hands & they had no choice. read all the articles coming out, they are all hinting at it, a plan is being made, discussions are underway, top level meetings we are having the wool pulled over our eyes and the chairmen are praying enough people go 'ah well, it wasn't my chairmans fault so I can keep going' - ask your self this, before coming out & saying no, when was the last time your chairman was upfront, honest, public facing or seen to be doing something in the interests of the fans? the deal is already done 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 From Charles Green: "Rangers is still Rangers and players, above all, should know that.'' I think McCoist has been saying similar recently as well. Surely this is prima facie evidence that sevco are trying to create a business which is identical to all intents and purposes to the one which has just walked away from £££££££££££ of debt? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is enought time to fiddle about like that. The merger will happen before 4th August and that is all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 why exactly are all these chairmen falling over themselves to say no - they have not heard what the proposal is yet - there has been absolutely no mention of what sanctions would consitiute a yes vote & that, to my mind, in highly suspicious. Because you can't vote a new team straight into the top division of a football league - it's perverse! No sanctions would cover over such a farcical breaking of sporting rules and ethics, and the chairmen know the fans won't stand for it! Even considering such a scenario is the chairmen holding up their middle finger to all their customers, and slowly they're beginning to realise that the customer might be right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 With 3 definite No to Newco statements now, the next club to declare No will leave us in a position where the only way Newco can play in the SPL is if..... Celtic vote yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnesTON Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 He has been full of shit at every turn. Why does he insist in phrasing it 'walking away' could he not say leaving, as he just seems like a comedy figure the only thing missing is he isn't called John Paul Green. The guy just seems too good not to be a parody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
