    I've seen a few places saying Queen's Park are a definite no... Have I missed a statement? I've not seen anything about their intentions at all?

    I was wondering this too, is there any source for this?

    Queen's Park made their statement 145 years ago. It would be a betrayal of their entire history if they were to assist a professional team to buy their way into a position in the SFL which they have not earned.

  2. CHARLES GREEN, who is leading a consortium to purchase Rangers Football Club, issued the following statement today.

    He said: "On behalf of the consortium purchasing the Rangers Football Club, it is my firm view that it is vitally important for the current issue of the SFA player embargo to be resolved and neither I nor my investors wish to see an outcome that would be to the detriment of Scottish Football.

    "Throughout this process, the Club, the Administrators and most importantly the supporters have taken the view that any sanction against Rangers - due entirely to the misdeeds of individuals no longer at the Club - should be proportionate.

    "We and the Administrators did not want to take the matter to a civil court at all.

    "Unfortunately, the route to apply to the Court of Arbitration in Sport was not open to the Club because the SFA's own articles fail to include a specific provision permitting appeals to CAS and the Judicial Panel Protocol contains a rule which prohibits any form of appeal to CAS or any other body.

    "Our position has been endorsed by Lord Glennie in the Court of Session. The Club was prohibited from appealing to CAS by the SFA's own rules.

    "The Judicial Review was not an appeal rather it was the Club exercising its right under Scots Law to have the court review whether or not the imposition of the transfer embargo was within the power of the tribunals of the Judicial Panel.

    "All of the appeal points put to the appellate tribunal relating to the harsh and excessive nature of the embargo were dropped as it would not have been appropriate to have taken those to the Court of Session"

    In one sentence, Green claims it was not an appeal.

    In the next sentence he refers to "appeal points put to the appellate tribunal"

    blink.gif Is he as thick as the average R*ngers fan, or just as slippery as the previous owner?

    The SFA can make this very simple. Just expel R*ngers permanently.

  3. Intresting news at Fratton park, if liquidated Portsmouth have 21 days to apply to league for phoenix club to prove business plan in order to keep their history.

    Thoughts ?

    What's your source for this? I can't find anything. Regarding Leeds Utd and Middlesbrough, it is not the same thing. Leeds were never in liquidation: they were very quickly put in and out of administration, with a new company purchasing all the assets and debts of the existing one. A CVA got them out of 80% of their debts. The Middlesbrough situation was more similar, apart from one major factor. Their debts were under £2 million rather than the tens of millions that R*ngers owe. R*ngers have no chance of repaying their creditors (who are every one of us, via the tax they have fiddled).

    Personally, I think *brox is an excellent site for Tesco Govan. Close to two motorways, the Clyde Tunnel and the city centre, it's a convenient location with plenty of space around it for car parking.

    If a phoenix club does arise from R*ngers, it has to be seen as a completely new club. No history, never won anything. This is the only chance Scottish football and Scotland as a whole will ever have to smash sectarianism. It has to happen. R*ngers must die.
