wunfellaff Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Stretford , the vulutres assemble around the lifeless corpse one by one (UKPA) – 15 minutes ago Controversial football agent Paul Stretford is "assisting" Rangers newco, the Ibrox club have confirmed. Gers chief executive Charles Green is using the services of the agent, who was banned in 2008 for 18 months and fined £300,000 for a number of misconduct charges relating to how he acquired the right to represent Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney six years earlier. A spokesman for Rangers told Press Association Sport: "Paul Stretford is assisting the club." Stretford's link with the Ibrox club is revealed as Ally McCoist prepares to bolster his squad for life in the Irn-Bru Third Division next season. On acceptance of Scottish Football Association membership, still to be ratified, the Light Blues' boss will have until September 1 to sign players before a 12-month transfer embargo begins. Rangers fans may wonder about Stretford's remit given the club's new league status and the apparent lack of cash available at Ibrox to bring players in, but confirmation of the Englishman's involvement comes while Green continues to challenge the decisions of the players who walked away from the club this summer. Yesterday, Rangers confirmed that they and Southampton had come to a financial agreement over the transfer of Steven Davis. The two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for the Northern Irishman, reported as £800,000, although that is disputed by the English club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Real Madrid removed the cross from their badge so as not to upset Muslims. Perhaps Sevco could buy that, put it on their jerseys, then claim Real's history. They haven' t taken the cross off the jersey badge, but you knew that, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Did Campbell Ogilvie also want Clydebank's history to transfer to Airdrie United? The SFL list it that way, as HibeeJibee pointed out earlier in the thread. There are not a finite number of SFA memberships. If another club wanted to join the SFA, it could do so without taking on Rangers' membership. If it wanted to transfer the membership of Rangers, then that would require the permission of the oldco, and in that case it would be considered to be a continuation of the old Rangers, and would be liable for the punishments and priveliges of the oldco. Well summarised and as I also noted, it's happened before: Clachnacuddin went into liquidation in late 80s, current ltd company was formed in 1990, but the authorities regard them as the 1886 club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Why would it be considered a continuation of the now defunct club? The sanctions would apply to any club which chose to take on the membership of the now defunct Rangers FC (IA). If they want to keep their history, all they have to do is to get the shares from Craig Whyte, and either pay off the clubs debts, or come to some arrangement with their creditors. There's really no other option. Picked this post at random; Bored bored bored bored bored! Let's play Murder In The Dark! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Over Scotland Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Are Airdrie United the same company as Clydebank then? I don't know what their corporate structure is. But the directors of AUFC took over Clydebank as a going concern and renamed it. The membership stayed where it was, only the name (and the strip, and other stuff) changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itwiznaeme Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 He could walk away, therefore technically not accepting it. Otherwise known as "going in a huff" He has probably been looking for a way out for a few weeks now and finding it difficult after giving it the "WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY" shoiiiite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Airdrie United are the same company as Clydebank. On the Companies House website, it shows their date of incorporation in 1965 with a 'name change' from Clydebank to Airdrie United in 2002. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 To try and cut to the chase - IF Charles Green can get a new 'entity' to start this season... is there any way he can do it and see his new entity completely dodge any SFA imposed sanctions and also dodge any punishments in regard to oldco EBTs? Yes, give up the history and suck some boaby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I just hope the SFL get their rules changed sharpish so any club coming into it for financial reasons is automatically down to the 3rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm just back from a week in Spain and I think I'm finally caught up! It was hard to keep in touch with the news while there - none of the papers or TV channels mentioned it. You'd have thought that with all the crooks involved, the worldwide fan base of the institution would extend to the Costa del Sol, but perhaps not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 What it will boil down to is who can shout their point of view the loudest. As we have seen Sevco fans humph and grumph but when it comes down to getting heard, Sevco are in division three now and all SPL clubs would have had them in the SPL with point deductions and financial penalties if it was not for the diddy shouting. As a diddy I believe Sevco obsessives can jump and up and down and shout, "We're Rangers! We're Rangers" as much as they want...... And we all know the diddies have proved to shout louder than Sevco. A rousing diddy battle cry... However, we will face certain defeat. Ally says he won't accept it, plus, they have a huge fat cnut in a Sevco top who says the big house must stay open. We don't stand a chance when faced with such overwhelming odds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarreZ Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Say it panned out as you suggest. Instead of the Scottish football authorities fast-tracking 'NewCo Rangers' straight back into the SPL to keep Sky TV interested, maybe Sky TV would find it interesting to cover the adventures of NewCo Rangers on TV as they start life at the bottom of the pile and undoubtably rise quickly through the leagues. Think about it. NewCo Rangers, papped to the bottom of the pile, would be playing away in tiny venues with very low capacities. Teams in Divs 3, 2, and then 1 would benefit from sell-outs when NewCo Rangers came to town, and if Sky TV covered every NewCo Rangers away game live, it would allow NewCo Rangers fans who couldn't get tickets to these tiny away grounds to watch their team. Sky might find this more attractive TV than run-of-the-mill SPL fodder. Maybe they could do a docu-soap to run along their live NewCo Rangers games, like 'The Osbournes'.... cameras following the supporters to far flung glamourous locales like Methil and Peterhead. Behind-the-scenes coverage... a whole world of possibilities. If they put NewCo Rangers kits having Irn Bru patches sewn on the sleeves on live TV - I'd pay £15 to see it on pay-per-view no worries. Not a bad prediction from the first few pages Poz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
