A group of Russian and Ukrainian clubs hoping to form a joint championship have formed an organising committee and have invited top flight clubs in both countries to a meeting in Moscow on 18th of February to formalise arrangements.
The invitation letter states, “The main goal of our organization is the development of club, national and European football”
“In order to bring football to a new level, we propose to combine multiple national championships in one tournament. Initially Ukraine and Russia will be involved but in order to develop the strength of our game, the league could be extended to all former-Soviet countries.
“We are convinced that this new championship will be a model for other territories; this integration process is the future of football.
“This initiative will create healthy competition, increase entertainment game and increasing revenues from television broadcasts and advertising – just some of the benefits of unification.
“All of this will allow individual clubs to benefit as well as national teams, who will gain from players working in a higher standard of league. This is perhaps a unique case in sport where all participants are able to win.
Soviet Sport spoke to several Russian teams who confirmed they will attend. Sergei Palkin, the chief executive of Shakhtar Donetsk, was cautious, suggesting Ukrainian clubs and the Federation need to act with unity, “I hope this meeting takes place but only after Ukrainian clubs have chosen a common position.
“Then we can decide who should attend. The Football Federation of Ukraine need to be active, they can unite clubs and deal with the proposal appropriately.”
Note their points:
“Main goal… development of club, national and European football”.
“Bring football to a new level”.
“Develop the strength of our game”.
“This integration process is the future of football”.
“This will allow individual clubs to benefit as well as national teams”.
“Create healthy competition, increase entertainment game and increasing revenues from television broadcasts and advertising”.
Amid all the talk about reorganising our game has anyone had the clarity of vision to articulate the above aspirations? Having lived with threats from “the big five” leagues for long enough other demographically-challenged countries are putting plans in place to allow their clubs a sporting chance. It will soon be “the big six” and thereafter, who knows?
Why on earth are we worried about the number of lower divisions we have? Regionalise or wither on the vine – and do your best to ignore any muppet who suggests taking legal action because he got his sums wrong. The only change worth having will be consensual and will benefit all in our game.

Me thinks this is what is known as “The tip of the iceberg” :))
Lived in a few countries
love German beer, but the best I have had is in the Czech Repuplic
they have so many good ones, but Starobrno served in the bar in their
brewery takes some beating
Hail Hail
I’m waiting for them to claim the 400k debt is owed by Rangers Football Club Ltd, Not Rangers International or whatever they’re calling their selves these days.

Well done O.G. I wonder if any other creditors ( I have heard they owe money to the utility providers) who Chuckles owes will now come into play to get any debts.
If the huns ie: Rankers FC/The Rankers FC/Whatever
can swerve away from – £140 mill…I don’t think they’ll
be too bothered aboot – £400k ?
Btw…as long as ibrokes stadium still stands – the huns will
still be playing there in some shape or form. imo
Only saying…
Wanting 400k off them, have they not been punished enough
OG
yes I understand belongs to others
but congrats/thanks to you for persevering with the wee digs and doubters and staying faithful to your sources/info…and sharing with us :-)
HH
The Peter Lawell emerald from Singapore are behind this!
Hearts only pay bills after a Winding up order has been issued. :-)
Killie got issued one the other week.
This 400k bill will be paid and it will be a oversight in accounts Dept at newco.
Mark Hateley says having a winding up petition served on you is like signing a new player!
Just in and switched on TV. Nigeria are playing playing. 2 up. Is Ambrose playing?? Worrisome if he is.

Defo deid mate ;-)
I was paraphrasing Jabba on Snyde the other night who still referring to thems as Rankers
He MUST respond to this latest news
Doubt we will be hearing from him anytime soon tho’ – i bet Challs never told him and he will take a pure hissy fit
Hehehehe
A winding up order has also been served on Abronhill High School, Gergory’s Girl RIP.
Mea Culpa
He released his blog today knowing they are having an online DISCUSSION tomorrow, shoul be good I expect Alex to deal with them the way he dealt with Snottery Keevins,batter them with facts & truth.
I’m sure the non-payment of the £400K bill will turn out to be just a simple admin error. Easily done. :-)
Off oot….
…before the – Daydream Believers CSC arrives :o)))
P.S. 3-0 Nigeria
A winding-up order has been served on my alarm clock.
Are we sure that this winding up order is genuine? What if it’s someone just winding them up?
£400,000 ?
Tis but a fraction of Ally’s warchest…….or………….to put it another way, one weeks pie allowance.
Chico Green laughs at such trifles.
saltires en sevilla
I know you were, sorry if it seemed otherwise.
Yup DEFO DEID and the closer we get to chuck having to pay for them he will make that abundantly clear(IMHO)
Respect to O.G. Rafferty.
Dis to those who attempt to trivialise the news of a winding up petition for the Sevconians.
I almost typed another winding up petition but the first one was for Rangers wasn’t it?

The Rumoured Rangers Winding Up Petition – What Is Mr Green’s Connection With the Alleged Creditor? http://wp.me/p1Adbc-MD
I did say it was from Singapore, the info from my sevco following mate was good.
Alex Thomson
After some days of often feverish
online speculation, I am now able to
clarify the situation regarding the
winding-up order which may soon
be served against the Rangers
Newco over a contract for services
prior to the recent share offer.
Orlit Enterprises, based in Singapore, is
seeking to petition the Scottish Court for
a winding-up order against Rangers.
Sources close to this legal action have
spoken exclusively to Channel 4 News
today.
This claim arises from the club’s alleged
failure to pay two of the four invoices
issued by Orlit. The outstanding sum is
£400,000.
The source has clarified to Channel 4
News that Orlit Enterprises was
contracted to source and introduce the
investors who provided seed capital in
order to acquire the club from the
administrator and to secure the June
2012 payroll.
Orlit did not participate in either the pre-
IPO equity fundraising or the IPO itself.
My sources indicated to me that there
has been no satisfactory answer from the
club as to its non-payment despite
several requests. In the circumstances,
the application for a winding-up order of
the Rangers Football Club Limited – being
the trading company obliged to pay the
debt . Sources close to Orlit say they now
have no other option than to embark
upon winding up proceedings.
We are seeking comment on this from
Rangers. Of course they may well have
very sound reasons and defence for not
paying.
This all sounds dramatic stuff and it may
possibly play that way. But one should
remember that winding-up petitions are
often used as a method of extracting
payment from companies.

@nrk77 I don’t hate anybody. And abuse is simply people choking on the truth. It’s a compliment mate.
Looks highly unlikely that Efe will play against Juve now.
Just remember internet bampots, if they are liquidated again then they must enter junior the leagues :)
