Brown called Green right with only one solution remaining

1082
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Scottish football has gone through months of drama and uncertainty to rescue ‘Rangers’.  Only weeks ago we were told a CVA was likely.  Once this failed the question of today’s SPL vote crystallised.

The SPL met several times to discuss this matter, even doing so before Rangers CVA failed.  Sentiment was firmly behind Newco, to the extent that some were worried they would be allowed into the league without any sanction (if one Ayrshire club had their way).  All this changed when Charles Green and Duff and Phelps agreed to challenge the SFA at the Court of Session.  At the SPL meeting following this decision the mood changed dramatically.

I then had several friends in the media rubbish my suggestion that Newco were far from certain of being voted into the SPL.  To be fair to them, my information was not coming from Neil Doncaster, whereas theirs was.  If Doncaster was so assured when speaking to the media, day after day, we can only imagine what he was saying to Green. His influence has not been helpful to the cause he championed.

Clubs, who were previously weighing up the argument, suddenly had a convincing point to consider.  Rangers going to court was the biggest own goal in their 140 year history.  Terry Butcher, eat your heart out.

After this Green was at the mercy of fortune, and the growing influence of the hawk(s) in the SPL who saw no need to create space for Newco.  In many respects, John Brown is correct.  Having gambled and failed, Green did whatever he could to accommodate but there was no way back.  Underestimate John Brown at your peril, he has his club’s interests at heart and has the fortitude to raise a phoenix from the ruins of Ibrox.  His unconventional style is easy to mock but it is just what needed (I truly believe this).

Where now for the Newco-Sevco-Rangers?  I don’t see a solution.  Sooner or later Mr Green will let his friends know they only way forward is for him to acquire an existing Scottish Football League club, rename it to something like Rangers United, and move it to Ibrox.

The toxic history would be set free and it would be game-on.  Keep your eye on Cowdenbeath.

    James Forrest. Great post this morning, but I would include Ogilvie in that group of shame, the new Gang of Four.

     

    If you are starting a movement to remove this parcel of rogues, include me in as they say.

    Re; The Spreading of the fear factor.

     

     

    That was not the intention.

     

     

    Surely there’s a place for the note of caution.

     

     

    What must be borne in mind here is that, in any given flashpoint situation, the Tim is more often than not outnumbered. imo.

     

     

    I stand by what I said and, wont engage the hun from a bravado stand point.

     

     

    Surely I’m allowed that concept ?

    When I read that sentence I couldnt help but picture the Judean Peoples Front having a meeting.

     

    Was the second line, what have the Romans ever done for us?

    Turnbull Hutton and his ilk should, imo, form the new spearhead of Scottish Football governance.

     

     

    The contaminated quartet of –

     

    Ogilvie

     

     

    Reagan

     

     

    Longmuir

     

     

    Doncaster

     

     

    have to be removed before the game can move forward. imo.

    “Modren concept of non-engagement from bravado stand point is rubbish”

     

     

    What is a modren concept of non-engagement from bravado stand point? And don’t just say “Rubbish”.

  11. The Ghood will prevail on

    Regan’s comments… I’m livid! This is meant to be the game’s top administrator, the man who, above all else, ensures that the rules and articles of our association are applied ‘without fear or favour’. Yet he is taking a position that would mean making a mockery of those rules forevermore.

     

    REGAN AND DONCASTER (and Ogilvie) – OUT OUT OUT!

    I listened to it earlier. I don’t think he does savage him at all.

    Gladly accepted – and the privilege is all mine.

     

     

    I was a block 113 diehard for about 7 yrs…..row F seat 17.

     

     

    I always try and get close to my roots when I return wae the junior Fin75s.

    Cadizzy- well since they’ve found the ole Higgs boson the answer to your very cogent query will be revealed in due course.

     

     

    Clearly the first step is to establish definitions- is ole Custer’s last stand a bravado stand point?

     

     

    Or given the time elapsed since Crazy Horse’s finest hour does it fall outside the meaning of ‘modren’?

    We can’t ‘sell’ them there as the ole GCC are still processing our street-trader application – “Kano Scarves , get yer Kano Scarves here , only # rankers each !”

    Listened to the Sportsound Podcast, apart from interuppting Stuart Cosgrove at every opportunity Jabba suggested that Rangers Newco in the SPL was ALWAYS the Daily Record View and that all of the extreme opinions come from the internet bampots?

     

     

    Maybe evrything that has been cut and pasted from the Daily Record recently on here was written by someone othet than him on that basis?

     

     

    Cosgrove come out with integrity intact as does Jim Spence.

     

     

    Worth a listen but get yourself a coffee first.

    He has his good days apparently. Rumour has it a Tim nurse showed him a picture of Martin McGuinness shaking hands with the Queen and he definitely gave a reaction.

    morning cqn

     

     

    the board done the right thing with the other 9 clubs in voting ….NO

     

    as for killie they have made their bed as they say.

     

    the level of mis-managment from doncaster and regan is truly unblieviable.

     

    the quicker they are removed from ofiice scottish football can move on.

     

    i have no doubt the spl can be a success without newco.

     

     

    as for the SFL with that numptie longmuir.. well ….there is HOPE

     

    all the spl clubs budget every year without a team once called rangers and a newco team called sevco 5088 who would have brought them untold revenue.

     

    this lie being spouted by the sfa.spl and sfl that they need sevco 5088 or they are all doomed and will go bust.

     

    are these people living in the real world like jabba.

     

    when this is pointed out as total shi@te que the next statement.

     

    there will be civil unrest if newco are not playing football

     

    quick call the police and alex salmon…..asap

     

    its a bit too late they have all ready wrecked barca and manchester and robbed £100 million from the tax payers in the uk.

     

    lets get them back as soon as possible so they can visit a few new places in scotland and slash and maim anyone they think is not one of the people.

     

    and we need this mob like a hole in the head

    from DEADclub media

     

    ============================

     

    Duff and Phelps, administrators of The Rangers Football Club plc (in administration) issued the following statement today.

     

     

    “We have written to all shareholders of The Rangers Football Club plc (in administration) to provide notice of a general meeting of the Company to be held at Ibrox Stadium on July 31.

     

     

    “The resolution to be put forward at that meeting is to change the name of the Company to RFC 2012 plc and there will be no other business on the day.

     

     

    “This is a procedural measure in order for Sevco Scotland Limited – which acquired the business and assets of the Company from the administrators on June 14 – to change its name simultaneously to The Rangers Football Club Limited.”
