Big Rangers Administration/Liquidation Thread - All chat here!


Recommended Posts

Point well made sir, I know from inside the reason he didn't go to Rangers was, apart from the five bids it took to match the Blackburn offer, Stephen Thompson knew fell well how precarious a financial position Rangers were in and asked for the full fee upfront or no deal. Hence Goodie to Blackburn. I'm sure it's been in his thoughts how he managed to avoid the pitfall and the implications that would have had on top of what they currently owe United.

As an aside, chrismcarab, and as I can't be arsed with pm, are you (due to your moniker) a 'sound' guy. Other readers, I'm not masonic.

For league wins, I reckon it's fair enough to award to whoever was runner up rather than recalculate every league table over the period.

Imo every trophy they won should be declared "No winner", but the other issue must be whether the SPL looks into how much prize money they have deprived other sides of during these years.

Would any team try to recoup money from them via the courts like sheffield utd did to west ham, alledgedly winning £20m in compensation.

Im guessing it wouldn't affect relegation snd top six/bottom six if sides are awarded 9 or 12 points a season or is that too simplistic?

It would've affected european places and the fact that any club finishing below them should have got prize money for finishing one place higher, due to the fact that rangers would have been using inelligible players and would have lost every game 3-0 by default.

Could be hyper complex especially where teams have nicked 4 or 5 points off rangers and hold say a three point gap over the team below them.

Not sure recalculation of the tables a good idea.

Hopefully they're liquidated and it becomes a moot point.

Actually what about recalculating their run to Manchester? And other Euro adventures? They cheated not just the domestic comps.

It ain't gonna happen.

On a purely selfish note;

What are the chances of an open topped bus travelling through Ayr Hight Street with the throngs of Honest Men and Bonnie Lassies lining the route, cheering on the Ayr squads past and present as they take turns lifting the 2002 League Cup above their heads.

Now that would be a good day out and one to remember.

Edit: ..........and the Kilmarnock supporters joining us in the celebration :D :D :D

Rangers planned to sign a "one eyed hot and trot transvestite" but no Catholics.

Watch this classic action to hear the scoop. Its Before Murray take over.

Alan rough has a stormer.

Could you not just have said it's in the last minute of the second clip?

b*****d! :angry:

Good game though. :D

Its ''Hottentot'' :) , a Namibian bushman if I mind right.

Though 'hot to trot' would have been more fun.

Does anyone know who the 5 or 6 members of Charles Greens consortium are yet, there were a few named in the press and some have their suspicions as to who the others are but we must have transparency, who are these people, are they football people ?

This week will hopefully see the end of life as we know it, we may put our affairs in order and make peace with our gods, life without ra peepul will be a catastrophic event and one from which the world will never recover...NOT !

LET'S PARTY :lol:

RFCIA facing multiple threats.

Today can set the tone for other upcoming footballing decisions. No backsliding. Sporting integrity ahead of financial implications. The vast majority of SFA members will be entirely unaffected, regardless of what happens to RFCIA.

Let's hope they f*ck 'em.

I'll have a guess at

Mike MacDonald, Reg Brealey and Stuart Hinchcliffe. Asset stripper partners-in-crime from Hughie's days at the Blades.

I'll also wager there are no Asian businessmen. All smoke n' mirrors.

When Green first mentioned the '20', a name that crept up was Nazim Khan (fairly common name I think) with no other details.

A wee bit of research then gave up the possibility that this is James Caan :blink: , from Dragons Den fame. Its his real name and he is an 'entrepeneur'.........Possible? Pure speculation on my part going by the name.

*he tried to buy a child from Pakistan flood victims whilst filming a charity prog :o

Proportionate……

Todays phrase of note, last week it was Quantum and before that Incubator Company.

Lets look at proportionate in relation to Jim Traynors ludicrous statement that a one year Scottish Cup Ban is an appropriate punishment for Rangers year of serial cheating, tax dodging and conning of suppliers and opponents alike.

Now if Rangers had merely been guilty of an amateur official missing off one of two dates on a players contract then a £100,000 fine and a years ban would have been in line with Spartans, even though the damage to Spartans was financially much more severe

Spartans in 2010 had retained reserves of £10,546. Thats approximately 3 days wages for Steven Davis. The same Steven Davis who has played the bulk of his career for Rangers whilst illegally registered

To put Spartans in context they are an amateur club, dependent on volunteers. As their balance sheet shows they are a tiny operation, however they are a credit in the role they play in their community. They have a Seniors section, a community football academy , a youth section and a women and girls section. Their error was just that….an error. A trivial one.

However RULES ARE RULES as Rangers are keen to point out and Spartans broke one and paid a very hefty penalty. They were fined 38% of the entire value of their balance sheet. They were also denied a tie with Partick Thistle which would likely have drawn a crowd of 4,000 and gate receipts of £60,000, of which Spartans would have received approx 40%

That lost £24,000 was more than double the full retained reserves .

Thats the severity of the punishment the SFA meted out to Spartans.

To treat Rangers proportionately would have required a fine of £27 million. Now whilst that would have been ludicrous for a trivial error, it does emphasize how severely Spartans were dealt with. Rangers of course have not committed trivial errors, they are at the opposite end of the charge sheet from Spartans

For Traynor to suggest the same punishment for Rangers is mind boggling even by the standards he has set in the past. It won’t have escaped anyone that 2 days after Charles Green tells us that a Scottish Cup ban would be a very severe punishment, that Traynor , who is no stranger to Rangers owners setting his agenda for him, trumpets this as appropriate.

Lets be in no doubt here. A Scottish Cup ban is a nothing punishment for a series of offences which are extremely serious in nature and deliberate in execution.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Regan and co. were to apply the same 'proportionate' punishment to the H*ns, I think we'd all be eating hats. :(
