Stagmaster Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Oh please, oh please, oh please... My link Here is the full team list for Pro Evolution Soccer 2013. Notable changes: Motherwell replace Rangers. Any news on Fifa 13? And why isn't Dundee replacing Newco? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strichener Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The "debt-free" argument doesn't really stand up, taking a logical progression to some of the claims by Rangers fans. I've heard a few arguments around the "fact" that they had a debt of only £18m, which was serviceable (?), and were trading at a profit before Whyte took over. If that's the case, why are they in such shit now, it's only simple arithmetic, surely? It's like me claiming to be debt-free cos I pay off my £2000 credit card bill with my £2000 annual salary, and I've got feck all to live on for the next year, until I go into a £2000 overdraft.

Leepylee Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Those Sevconian cheating b*****ds are one of only a very tiny few clubs in Europe who are indeed actually debt free. They have a 51,000 (all-seated) capacity stadium and a multi-million pounds training ground all bought and paid for by the UK taxpayers (you & i) and 300+ creditors that they bumped. Still they have been punished enough bless em 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tio Pepe Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 We'll go round in circles here! I believe that the "sanctions" for playing illegally registered players is to award the game(s) to the opposition (usually 0-3) and/or remove titles/trophies won where illegally registered players were used. The directors then may find themselves banned. You may be right on newco membership being revoked (i.e. I may be wrong!) but I don't think that's a sanction that is available for this and neither do I think there is a precedence? That may mean that the first season they used incorrectly registered players they would be bottom of the league after their actual results are converted to three nil defeats. This may have resulted in the incorrect side being relegated and a team not playing in the following season's European competitions when they ought to have qualified instead of Rangers. These sides are entitled to compensation. There is also a knock-on effect which delivered false results in subsequent seasons and generate further claims for compensation. Does the level of this compensation get added to the football debts that are carried over in the transfer of a licence? Or will they sweep it under the carpet and hope nobody notices. If I was the owner of one of the sides who lost out I'd be wanting my cash. On a wider scale European opponents may also be entitled to compensation as a result of being knocked out by Rangers (I believe that may have happened periodically) who fielded a side and/or qualified for the competition through using improperly registered players. How far back can the football authorities choose to go to ensure justice prevails? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 And the website says "The supporters of AFC Wimbledon believe that our club is a continuation of the spirit which formed Wimbledon Old Centrals in 1889 and kept Wimbledon Football Club alive until May 2002. We consider that a football club is not simply the legal entity which controls it, but that it is the community formed by the fans and players working towards a common goal. We therefore reproduce the honours won by what we believe was, and will always be, 'our' club, in our community." There's no harm in believing. Lots of people believe, e.g., that - the Earth is flat - the world was created in six days - Santa Claus exists - the Pope is infallible They are all wrong too. You're free to disagree, of course. But I was answering the specific point that AFC Wimbledon fans did not even lay claim to the history of the old club. That's demonstrably bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Airdrie United does not = Airdrieonians,we know that and keep getting reminded of it.So you can sadly keep thinking what you like about us,we know what we are....and it isn't Onians. Okay then, I stand corrected, apparently there is at least one Airdrie fan who doesn't think of it as being a direct continuation of the club in its previous guise. That's a bit odd, but fair enough. (What made you choose to support Airdrie United, then?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Green has been talking to Reagan and Doncaster. I reckon they: wont strip the trophies. spl wont investigate ebts (Doncaster will release a statement saying "we felt it was more appropriate for the proper authorities to deal with this matter") Green has prob accepted the transfer ban, because he's already got half a team of decent players who will walk the 3rd div. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i stated in my previous message...it was my local side.I chose long ago not to follow the OF.For your info if you actually came along and spoke to the fanbase you would be surprised that very few if any consider us to be the old club,so how is that a bit odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killingfloorman 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. Greenie for the blues references. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYrVwGxlcFA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 however the spirit at a later date may reside in another entity that is born. so they're going to live on in another entity - like the whole buddhist thing ? it'd explain the preoccupation with orange, i suppose.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidthebaw Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Sorry to spoil your argument as I want them as deid as anyone else however the spirit resides in a physical entity. When that entity dies the spirit lives on and may be perceived as a ghost however the spirit at a later date may reside in another entity that is born.

Mark Connolly Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Didn't the catholic church have a practice where you could avoid punishment for sins for a fee? I take it you don't mean confession and penance. In the unlikely event of them confessing, can you see them doing 20 decades of the rosary? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
