Boghead ranter Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Bump for anyone just re-joining after overnight, this is the best post between page 3000 and 3011. And probably the only one worth reading. not all the quoted stuff, just the word 'Bump'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 It would appear the placing "The" in front of Rangers and "FC" instead of just displaying Rangers that a complete name change has been made . Why not just put "The FC" minus Rangers as the orcs seem to believe that they are the football club or The Fucking Cheats might cover it. The The. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Anyone else hear the hypocrisy on Talkshite this morning? My own fault, I know. Brazil talking to PFA Chairman Gordon Taylor. In a nutshull :- Portsmouth situation - Deserve everything they have coming to them. Will end up playing non league if they are playing at all. Living outwith their means, still playing players too much wages. Rangers situation - SPL clubs have cut off their nose to spite their face. Are we all wrong here or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just put SSN on. Seemingly Tottenham's Luka Modric hasn't joined them on their USA pre-season tour. Guaranteed he'll be spotted in a Glasgow hotel with Ally McCoist later today... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelegendthatis Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 How the f**k does this c**t manage to breathe and type at the same time? You are hitting your head against a brick wall here. You must appreciate that Kincardine has depended on Roughie and the Real Radio phone in for all he knows about company law. The place he learned that there is no need to shut up if you have no knowledge whatsoever on a subject. If we must talk about naming the cheats. What about PKA Rangers? (If good enough for Prince good enough for Sevco). Might make them sound like some dodgy Greek team with no money, which would fit . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Buddie Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 If we are generally in agreement that Captain Green is a bit short of cash, and Brian Kennedy is saying that his offer of £5m is still on the table (the important phrase is "controlling interest"), is there a reason to be (more) suspicious that CG is planning a quick getaway, and can't afford to lose the ability to cut and run on his own (or his investors') terms and timing? I still think the The Rangers won't kick a ball in anger, and CG is just playing a game of brinkmanship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Woke up this morning (no, wait, this isn't a Blues number) with a thought in my head. Which is unusual. Anyway, what if the stand off between SFA/spl/SFL/oldco/newco is a smokescreen? Those here who are more expert on me with these matters, ie, everyone, might shoot this down, but with oldco not yet liquidated, would a transfer of SFA membership to newco then place that newco in the position of inheriting some of the debts of the old company? Then I went down to the station with a suitcase in my hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't think there's an organised smokescreen between the SFA/SPL/SFL/Oldco/Newco. That would require co-ordination and organisation. I think all five parties act independently, each is selfish in the extreme, have their own agendas, and to varying degrees are totally fcuking clueless... hence this being a clusterfcuk of almighty proportions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 You've missed the point. Sevco are trading as Rangers, they don't need to rename the company to trade as Rangers. If they were prevented from calling the company Rangers (which is what has been suggested) then they would equally be prevented from trading as Rangers under the insolvency rules on reuse of company names. There is, however, no problem under those rules because sevco bought the entire undertaking from administrators. The reason for what you have posted above is that the oldco needed to change it's name before the newco take the official company name and because there are notice requirements. Nothing to do with reusing company names/trading names. No they didn't, the entire undertaking would be the old company et all. Sevco only purchased the assets of the company, the use of trading names is controlled by statute - The Business Names Act 1985. This Act imposes certain legal requirements on companies using trading names. The most obvious point is the trading name cannot be the same as or similar to another company or business name in a way that might be confusing. In the case of Rangers transferring the name from the oldco to the newco and treating them as different companies could fall foul of the passing off regulations. It is down to someone to complain though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairn Terrier Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 So can clubs only chart their history from when they traded as a PLC? Did you have some kind of severe head trauma (ie kicked by a horse) in the past? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 In 1900 due to financial and other problems, Dumbarton FC ceased to be and their membership of the Scottish League lapsed. In 1908 a completely new Dumbarton FC was formed and applied successfully for membership of the Scottish League. The new club had no business connection with the old one. However they played at the same ground, used the same crest and colours and assumed the honours (including two league championships and a Scottish Cup win) and history of the old club. People appear to have just kind of accepted that. Aye, and other examples include the "hibernation" of Hibs, and also apparently Dundee wound-up in 1898 and reforming as a new limited company during the season (see some posts in Infowire)... I would argue that people at large generally accept these things, and if the authorities and media do, so will "officialdom" and respected publications etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
