Itwiznaeme Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Rangers escape punishment imo, they should be stripped of all titles won when cheating even though they are a newco. Clubs have crucial say in Rangers' future as SPL prepare to take disciplinary action: http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/sport/football/clubs-have-crucial-say-in-rangers-future-as-spl-prepare-to-take-disciplinary-action.17914719?_=58e2b654890229be055a80efe8745262de2e8486 An investigation by the Scottish Premier League has concluded that Rangers have a case to answer over the club's use of Employee Benefit Trusts. Disciplinary proceedings will begin once the status of the newco, The Rangers Football Club, has been established, with all 12 SPL clubs voting on the application to transfer the oldco's league share on July 4. The SPL's investigation, by the law firm Harper McLeod, was delayed for almost three months after Duff & Phelps, Rangers' administrators, failed to supply all the relevant paperwork. However, the SPL board meeting at Hampden yesterday concluded that further action is justified. The SPL will now await the outcome of the vote to transfer the league share before initiating disciplinary proceedings, with the likelihood that other clubs would make it clear that any vote in favour would only be granted if Charles Green, the Rangers chief executive, agreed to a number of undertakings, including any sanctions applicable for rule breaches made by the oldco. "The SPL Board heard a report from its solicitors following the investigation into payments to, or for the benefit of, players allegedly made by Rangers FC outside of contract," said the SPL in a statement. "The delay in concluding the investigation was caused by an initial lack of co-operation from Rangers FC. The investigation has now been completed and, in the view of the SPL, there is a prima facie case to answer in respect of its rules. Disciplinary charges will be brought when the future status of Rangers FC is clarified and prior to the start of season 2012/13." The Rangers Football Club made their official request to transfer the league share yesterday, and the vote on July 4 requires an 8-4 majority, with oldco Rangers able to vote. The issue continues to divide all SPL clubs, with supporters applying pressure on their boards to vote against the newco, despite the financial consequences, with the television deal and other commercial contracts being diminished. "The newco issue is often portrayed as a straight choice between preserving sporting integrity and clubs accepting a reduction in gate money together with potentially a significant amount of commercial revenue," said a Motherwell statement. "In reality it is far more complex than that. We are fully aware that an overwhelming majority of our fans and most others are totally opposed to newco being allowed immediately back into the SPL. "The consequences of five or more clubs voting no to newco do also need to be fully taken into account. In addition to lower gate receipts, we are likely to lose an as yet un-quantified amount of commercial revenue with a specific risk around TV payments. "The lack of clarity on what the actual impact of newco not playing in the SPL will have on these revenues is a major problem for the board." Green has begun the process of negotiating with other SPL chairmen, although the future ownership of the club remains unclear. The consortium led by Walter Smith, Jim McColl and Douglas Park formally submitted a £6m offer to Zeus Capital, owners of The Rangers Football Club, yesterday, while Dave King, the former Rangers director, held a meeting with Green and said afterwards that he wasn't unhappy with the talks. Earlier yesterday morning, he had strong words to say about the club's owners. "My understanding from Mr Green is that he sees this as being a financial opportunity," said King, who has not ruled out financially backing Smith's consortium. "I really don't believe Rangers represents a financial opportunity for anyone other than an asset stripper. There is a structured financial deficit and unless the club gets access to funders who are willing to put money in on a non-commercial basis, for at least three years, then I don't think the club will go forward. "If Mr Green does come up with the money, then I'll be one of the first to support him. We have to avoid another situation where essentially someone has come in and acquired the club and is going to use the fans' money." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AES Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I thought Lucas would have burned that footage from existence. Well done for finding Sebastian Shaw as Anakin. I just hope New Rangers goes the way of the New Starwars. Quite right. I've still got the real Anakin on my vidoe box set. I never understood why the digitally b*****dised version has Anakin as a young man, when he died in middle age, and Ben as old as he was when he died. And Yoda was still as wrinkly as a scrotum after a three-day bath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castilla Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Rangers Website Article The SFL must remain steadfast, and decline any invitation to joined SPL 2. Thereafter Regan and Doncaster should be sacked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beermonkey Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Remember - "Bomber" outlined all that needs to happen... Newco just need to pay £5000 more per season than their competitors and they will win the league Didn't bomber also say he had the paperwork to prove sevco will be playing in SFL1 ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 As for Terry over Rangers on Sky Sports News, it isn't really a surprise. Chelsea are a Champions League winning side with Terry as a star player. They're a global footballing institution, Rangers are mere pretenders. They're nowhere near as relevant as Terry on a global level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajohnstone1988 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 This thread should be moved from SPL to Division 3 banter now! Regan has to resign now; his postition is untenable after his scaremongering before the vote. So proud of the SFL clubs sticking to their principles. Hopefully now in the next 2 or 3 seasons we can get the changes needed to transform the game. 42 teams- 2 leagues lead by one body (SFL) Premership 18 teams; 2 games against each team home and away, 34 game season, which means 4 games less as to allow a proper winter break. 1st division 24 teams; 46 games- more games for division 1 as they can then raise more revenue- pithces in division 1 become artifiscial allowing them to play during the prem's winter break harnessing more interest. Id then dissolve the juniors into the SFA and the highland league; and east and southern scotland league and then create a regional system that will allow a proper pyramid system. The power of the Old Firm is now broken for a few years- lets push the reforms through now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monrovianmonk Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 WE ARE GOING TO GET SHAFTED!!! RANGERS STATEMENT ON CLUB WEBSITE"Rangers' future remains uncertain after the Scottish Football League clubs voted against the Light Blues playing in the First Division next season. "At a meeting at Hampden today, the 30 member clubs agreed to accept Rangers into the SFL but voted against the SFL board being allowed to broker a deal with the SPL and SFA over new structures and procedures which would also include Rangers playing in Division One. "It is now understood that on the back of a briefing SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster and SFA counterpart Stewart Regan gave to clubs last week that the SPL will introduce a plan for SPL 2 - which would include Rangers - and invite existing Division One members to join." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
