LordHawHaw Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Just been reading that on Friday past Poppyscotland were added to the list of RFC's creditors. Find that hard to believe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan-bufc Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Where did you read that? Theres a lot of Celtic fans talking about it on my facebook but have yet to see a link yet so would probably guess its bullshit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archie guevara Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) http://www.footballmemories.org.uk/ Maybe a good idea to get some of our memories of Rangers recorded, while they are still fresh in our minds.

L. Brilliant Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Just came back to post that Twitter hing but I've been beaten to it. Not true after all it seems - did mean to imply it was a rumour and nothing more, like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsjfc Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have just realised the worst thing about this. If McGregor is released or takes a 75% pay cut, we will be subjected to an almost daily punishment of him and whatever peroxide-dyed, ronseal coloured, STD-ridden munter he is currently winching appearing in the "lifestyle" pages of the red tops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The SPL share changeover between relegated and promoted club is a neccessary mechanism for promotion between two seperated leagues. It hasn't always been exchanged in seasons like 2002/03 where no relegation imposed by the SPL. Presumably Gretna forfeited their share and didn't exchange it in 2008. Were the number of shares expanded from 10 to 12 in 2000? Does anyone know what the legal mechanism is for the SPL and are they a Ltd? Oddly enough there are 16 shares 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Dogma Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 If you knew you had to pull the plug on the life support of a club who had such militant fans, death threats and bullets and bombs through the post being commonplace these days, would you want to be the one to hold the press conference and tell the world you were killing them off without trying to look as if you had done everything in your power to stop it? Rangers are fcuked, we all know it, but the administrators are making it look like they are trying to save them. i do get that but they are effectively officers of the court with a completely clear legal mandate to protect creditors. the fact that they have thus far acted in a manner which does not seem to be commensurate with that mandate..and that they have previous business dealings with whyte are at best questionable. if they are really concerned about how they appear to the bigots and trogs ( and really if they were they should not have accepted the job in the first bloody place ) they could always forego their £960000 per months fees... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Fair enough, and perhaps it's simplying the discussion to talk about "after liquidation". What if the transfer happens before a liquidation event? Leeds formed their new company at the end of 2006-07, quickly transferred their Football League and I assume FA memberships, then liquidated? It's explicitly not a new club in the eyes of the football authorities though. E.g. in England, Leeds didn't have to come-in down the NLS and didn't have to serve 1 year in the FA Vase before entering the FA Cup. If it is transferred before liquidation that is a completely different scenario. But given that it is an asset it would have to be transferred by the administrators. So there would have to be a company ready to go with a ground to play on and sufficient financial backing. Leeds was 'an inside job' so to speak. Liquidation of Rangers would make that type of transfer a bit more difficult 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
