question on gers situation

[ray156]

BBC Scotland understands the Scottish Football Association could reject an application for international clearance from their English and Swiss counterparts on behalf of he and Whittaker's new clubs.
Scotland's national body claims it would require both the "old" Rangers, which will soon be put into liquidation, and the newco Rangers to give their permission for such clearance to be given.
The players, on advice from their union, PFA Scotland, rejected the opportunity to have their contracts transferred to the "newco" Rangers being created by the consortium led by Charles Green that has bought the Glasgow club's assets.

World governing body Fifa is likely to step into the dispute and grant international clearance for the pair.

I dont blame the players for leaving because they have been lied to that many times Rangers will rise again its just a matter of when.

Indeed Sevco might rise in time, Rangers are defunct - dead as a dodo!

Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi ! as the old saying goes.

Raith Rovers-Morton-Clyde-Falkirk oppose Rangers newco Division One plan.

[SIMPLY THE BEST]

They must start in the 3rd division if allowed pure and simple but again talk of going into Div1 is all about damage limitation regarding the money that will be lost without 1 of the Old Firm in the top tier of Scottish Football.

Another major faux pas by the people that run the Scottish football authorities and they are not worthy to be running the hiearchy in Scotland.

This whole SPL2 is starting to look more likely. Obviously my key concern is the rejuvenation of Rangers but I do have concerns at the way the whole shooting match is heading.

As soon as the season starts they will pass a vote on shared gate receipts meaning that for example Celtic would be required to give Hibs up to 30% of total receipts even if Hibs only brought 300 fans.

I think Lawell sees it now but the horse has bolted imho. Rangers will take some hit but looks like our Old Firm partners are also being lined up as a cash cow.

Without our vote there is nothing to stop it. Nothing.

It's sad that the hatred has took us to this point.

Nothing to do with the cheating nor financial irregularities that Rangers were involved in then ?

[skegsagypsy]

Any forced change of revenue on Celtic will have a detrimental effect on all clubs in the SPL, Celtic fans will not sit back and see our club punished in any shape or form, I'm fairly confident Celtic will not see any ill effects forced upon them.

Surely the attendances will go down skegs with no rangers.

[skegsagypsy]

John I'm referring to forced changes by the other clubs, not a natural drop in attendance.

what cheating would that be?

[thecelticfan]

what cheating would that be?

Over 100 employees received tax free payments totalling more than ?50M over a period of at least ten years. These included over 60 footballers ? meaning that the club both benefitted from employing players it could not otherwise have afforded and also broke football?s contract rules many times over several years.

Make no mistake ? this was cheating on an industrial scale.

Take you head out of the sand!

you see this is the problem, the club made use of tax avoidance schemes. these schemes were utilised under advice from a financial expert.

mismanagement yes.. but i don't think you could call it cheating..

anyways, why no outcry at the time of this alleged "cheating"?
