  1. There seems to be a strong defence of Rangers/TNR from Motherwell fans. Is it a sense of sporting justice and fairness, or a lingering fear that their club might be retrospectively punished for shafting creditors too?
  2. 2008 pages, so it must be time to list the winners and losers in the scenario so far. Winners: Greg Wylde. Losers: Everyone else.
  3. Ibrox is already a storage facility for a load of sh*te that will never be used again.
  4. Add to that "new mothers", single or otherwise. I don't give a f*ck that your offspring's nappy is full, or that he/she/it gives great cuddles, and regardless of what everyone tells you, your baby is an ugly b*stard, and likely to remain so until their head grows into the right shape at the earliest.
  5. Yes, I agree, anyone who posts with a superior air should be banned due to c*ntiness. If Rangers FC still exist, then they are effectively being transferred to a new owner in the same was as if I bought Dundee United or you bought Motherwell. If either of those situations occurred, we would still be liable for any SFA/SPL/UEFA punishments which were put in place under the previous owners - if the share transfer goes through, Rangers FC are effectively going to be allowed to escape any punishment, which wouldn't be the case for any other club (well maybe their pals from the east end). Or at least that is what they are arguing, since they are a new company. They are effectively arguing that the company and the club are totally separate. If that is the case, why don't you see clubs worldwide following that model? Are players owned by the club or the company? Which pays the wages? Would that not open even more cans of worms? So a simple question - is Rangers FC simply an asset currently owned by Rangers plc or Sevco, or is (was) it a trading name of Rangers plc? If it is the latter, then Rangers FC is effectively dead (yes, they are currently in administration, but there is now no way out other than liquidation). If the former, then that has the potential to be a clusterf*ck of epic proportions. You also raised the point of transferring non-transferable assets. I haven't seen anyone describe the share as such before, but surely if it is a non-transferable asset, there is no point asking for it to be transferred?
  6. So legally Rangers don't exist. Therefore a court action could be raised should they suddenly reappear in the SPL?
  7. Rangers fans well known for turning out in numbers when their club is threatened, are they?
  8. Boot them out then, we need more central belt teams. NOTE TO EDITORS AND SPL: This is a joke, please do not use it as evidence of a groundswell of support for newco.
  9. Fixture lists are always subject to change as a result of TV contracts and teams in Europe - stop being such a cynic!
  10. I know you're taking the piss, but they genuinely need to be bang on with everything now. Rangers (1872-2012) have already shown they are quite happy to go to court over technicalities, so let's make sure they have no excuses this time.
  11. The cynic in me went to see if club 12 play Motherwell on the same days that Celtic play St Johnstone to allow for easy swappage on derby day. THEY DON'T!!!!
  12. On the SFL applications and Spartans saying they won't apply if Newco do - is there a NOTA or RON option on the ballot? Do they actually have to accept someone?
  13. If I started a newco called club 12, am I entitled to bid for the SPL share?
  14. If Dundee or Dunfermline are in the SPL, they would take the RFC (1872-2012) share, I believe.
  15. When did Graeme Souness leave? The BBC clearly stated that the list they had was the people they had proof for. There may or may not have been others - no-one has specifically put this to Walter Smith. All we want is transparency (A.McCoist, 2012)
  16. I can't - my local one is shut. They went into admin and reacted by closing stores and laying off staff. Which it would appear is an unusual approach!
  17. That crest says "THE RANGERS". Newco is called "The Rangers". Totally different, although I can see how you may have become confused.
  18. No. The oldco are in administration and about to be liquidated. The newco have always been solvent.
