It's called FIFA heard of it?
"The Glasgow giants were subsequently reformed as a new company..."

It happened on the 14 of June but who cares FIFA confirm you died
I'd question the legitimacy of that source when they can't look at a league table for something so simple so, nah.

From FIFA today
Rangers go under
14 June
Rangers' perilous financial position had been an open secret but there was still shock when, after 140 years of history and a world record 54 league titles, the club was consigned to liquidation in mid-June. The Glasgow giants were subsequently reformed as a new company and granted entry to the Third Division, Scotland's fourth tier, which they currently lead by nine points with a game in hand.
:lol:
Slight problem here, how could that come from today when you've quoted "14th June" right there? Also, if that's from today it's also wrong, as we are 12 points clear . So it's just a wee bit, well, iffy.

£150M will not buy you the CL, Messi alone would cost you £250M and £30M+ a year wages, in fact this was turned down.
Football at this level is a truly fucked up place.
Well they could always bribe UEFA...

Ye Gods RFT, you have almost used up your yearly allowance of posts in one day
''Early release'' + ''good behaviour'' spring to mind
Haha aye I'm feeling very post-happy right about now!
Hey...he got what was coming to him *stabby stabby stabby*

Think it was about he has resigned in order to take up the same position in the new 'International' Company........no biggie.
I see! Shame that, thought we were on to something there!

Rumours over Malcolm Murray passing on the reigns of chairman to Walter, anyone read anything substantial on this?
Can't say I've heard anything about that, got any links to anything about it yourself?
I've always found it odd that Green sits at one end of the directors box and Murray sits at the opposite end. You never really hear of him in the media or anything, he seems to keep very quiet and lets Green do all the talking.

Found the thread on RM that it was from lol.....
That's...erm...aye retarded.

It mentions much more than that. Rangers International FC will forever be a tribute club in comparison to its cheating deceased parent.
Almost certain it doesn't say that.

That is what sent your little acquaintances on a hissy fit earlier, they ran away from it like the good little sheeple that they are and went into deflect mode.
I don't really see how it would, it mentions that Green was being, well, Green, and that in Keevins' opinion, he should give it a by. Then talks about how the fans have been loyal with a share issue and gave a few million quid, how controversial eh?

LINK.
Well I read that over twice, and I'm not really sure as to where that takes your argument. If you'd be more specific that might actually help! Not ripping the piss or anything.

Hughie Keevans may have pointed out that many folks won't be happy at Chucky's boasting about having money after they lost out on the **** going bust. But he didn't mention all those debenture holders from the Club Deck that lost their "investment" too. Chucky stiffed some **** as well as Hector and the rest.
There was a meeting with all of the shareholders, where they were asked if they wanted to transfer the shares, and as I recall it, the mast majority (if not all) didn't want to transfer the share, to help the club out. So he's hardly stiffed them when they were asked.

^^^Agree. though wish I could dig out the post I made months ago re what an orcs views were on the word, it was hilarious ''bi god'' or something ie it was the Papists who made them 'bigots'
Sounds like as if he was a very smart guy...

The thread has not enjoyed a good day today.
When has it ever had good days?

Lord Kincardine Leader of the Orcs has spoken, do what you are telt little bigoted orcs!
You do realise that every person on this planet can be said to be bigoted against something, so to tar all "orcs" as you so crudely put it is somewhat idiotic, yes? As you yourself could be said to be bigoted, due to the literal definition of the word "bigot"?

Anderson always seems to make it much harder for himself than it should be, how Scottish of him!

So is this a happy thread tonight? I am still intent on the idea of festive peace on the BRAL thread.
I want to say that there's...well..not much happiness here. Not much anger either, just a bunch of folk typing stuff that reminds me of this guy.

I'd say rarely, rather than never..
I'd say never. To actually wish that decent people who work behind the scenes at clubs, as well as players who will have families to support losing their jobs, is wrong.

Ryan Mccgowan, John Sutton, Andy Webster and Andy Driver would be my guesses.
To address just a couple of other points:-
The dual contracts investigation is still being carried out. If that is dismissed then we can say that cheating (however people have different views on what can constitute that) didn't happen, if it comes back as proven then in the authorities eyes, that is cheating.
Sectarian signing policy was an issue for Rangers and one that was not denied for most of your history.
Intimidation is on-going. Turnball Hutton would testify to that. Ally's "who are these people" statement, when he knew exactly who they were. The Montrose programme editor. There were threats to disrupt the Scottish cup final last year. The list goes on and on. It is a moronic element of your fan base, mainly, who do it.
To the first two, I'll concede them, the second one being a bad policy to follow.
I wouldn't say we are exploiting intimidation in any way to somehow increase the level of our performances on the pitch or anything like that. Me personally, I wouldn't have made much of a gripe with the program thing, was a bit of a stupid thing to print but I could see how people would get their jolly's from it. I don't really remember any threats to the Cup Final last year at all, doubt it would have came to much anyway.
Yes there's a moronic element of our support, every support unfortunately has it.

They'll need to get players off the wage bill quicker than that, in January. They still have a funding gap. I think they will make it to the end of the season though.
It really has to be severe cost cutting and surviving for a good while. They also have the £500,000 for tax to pay from May for 3 years as well as at some point dealing with the Main Stand, which desperately needs upgrading. Then there is the debt.
I don't want Hearts to fold (I even made a, small, contribution), I would like Hibs to be better on the park than them for a considerable amount of time though.
Who can second guess though, when the owner is a complete space cadet. It also looks like he is not quite as rich as he once was.
(I expect a Hearts fan from the SPL forum to suddenly appear and reply to this post with, "5-1") :-)
You might be correct on that one, who would you suggest would be one of the first players to be sold? I've not been following the SPL that much this year, caught a game that's been on TV here or there when I've not been at the football myself, but I'm not quite sure who the star performers would be at Hearts.
Romanov has completely torn apart that club, I'm sure I read at one point that wages were at 120% of turnover. Seeing as wages of a club should roughly be 60-70% of turnover to make a profit, it was only a matter of time before they had to cut back drastically.
Jane Lewis @JaneLewisSport SPL have extended #Hearts transfer embargo after club informed them they've not paid a number of bonuses + appearance payments to Players.
Yeah I just read that, it's not looking good for them, especially since it's near Christmas. It's not a nice thought to think of families struggling at this time of year, which some may very well be if they aren't massive earners at the club.
Surey all nice people would rejoice in seeing the death of a club whose success was built on the exploitation of sectarianism, bigotry and hatred? A club whose success was based on cheating and intimidation?
I'm not quite sure how they've exploited sectarianism in any way, considering a fan was arrested on Tuesday night for such. If they were exploiting it they would encourage him to do so, as opposed to letting the police do their job and rightfully arrest him.
Also the success wasn't based on cheating, due to the EBT's being found to be, on the most part, lawfully administered. Intimidation I'm not even sure how to answer, as I cannot really think of a moment in time where the club has, though I'm sure you have all of these things bookmarked as, when I lurked here a lot in the past, I'm sure you made the same point.

On the contrary, it was great to see Rangers go under.
Would love to see Celtic follow suit.
Oh I can see you are a barrel of laughs and are such a nice guy...

I'm sure that, at the time, the agreement was to pay off domestic debts, as there was a big point made that all of those debts were supposedly paid off, at the time anyway, though I could be wrong. Regardless, it's still the right thing to do that the debts are paid off to the clubs, regardless of whether or not the club had to or not.
