Final day to appeal Lord Glennie decision set to expire

1163

Charles Green, like Whyte and Duff & Phelps before him, is asking for admittance to the SPL on the basis that Rangers FC is a distinct entity from its legal identity.  While this theory has been strongly advocated by SPL chief executive, Neil Doncaster, by necessity, if you claim the football benefits of being ‘Rangers’, specifically player registrations, you also inherit Rangers penalties.

Although Rangers clearly won their challenge to Lord Carloway’s 12-month ban on player registration at the Court of Session last month when Lord Glennie referred the matter back to the SFA Appellate Panel, as the full ramification of the decision became clear to Green, who then had an irrevocable contract to buy Rangers or its assets, he floated the idea that he might appeal.

The SFA, correctly, decided not to instruct the Appellate Panel until the 21 day period when an appeal can be raised, which elapses today, has passed, just in case Green tells Lord Glennie he’s got it all wrong.

All this has been terribly confusing, not to mention expensive, for Scottish football, but with yesterday’s news that Rangers have a prima facie case to answer for subverting Scottish football for over a decade, the obstacles before Green are clearly insurmountable.  There is reason to believe we can quickly reach some clarity.

The SFA must, without delay, convene the Appellate Panel to consider Lord Glennie’s instructions and apply an appropriate penalty on the various legal and ethereal bodies which claim to be ‘Rangers’.  If the Appellate Panel suspend or expel what is left of the football club from the SFA, as must surely be expected, all questions about fan pressure, morals and votes become moot.

In this case, history will record the folly of Green’s appeal to civil law as the act which finally killed off any chance of ‘Rangers’ surviving, conveniently letting the SPL off the hook, while Green would be obliged to dispose of the stadium for a modest return to those capable of forming a genuinely new football club at some point in the future.

    Was just wondering in the event that they get voted back in so that we will know exactly who voted for what.

    When I swith my PC on, the screen remains blank. I swith off then back on again and am offered to click on Start Up Repair. I do this and my PC starts as per normal but the next time I try to switch on, I have to go through the same procedure. Any ideas?

    See if Chick Young came out with that one then we’d know we were through the looking glass.

     

     

    I’m surprised none of the hack pack have said something similar (unless they have and I’ve missed it).

    ha!

     

     

    Image-enhancing not performance-enhancing treatment.

     

    Interesting thought.

    no way that performance last night was enhanced….though I only saw the first half so maybe he got a wee jag/pill/whatever at half time

    Guys, if that is not correct you are leaving Paul and yourself open for a lawsuit.

    can we lay off Rooney and stick to the wild crazy speculation about the Huns – which always turns out to be true.

    Gordon Smith set to star in another remake of Disney’s “The Parent Trap”. (thumbsup)

  12. As is normal now, the ‘ifs’ continue to pile up. If Green is goosed (either because he has no money, or he’s forgotten he needs a bunch of players to form a team), and another bunch of optimists come in, how long will it take them to organise themselves and submit another SPL application? Best case has to be a week, so then 3 weeks to call the meeting of minds goes into late July… If they get a ‘no’ then it’s apply to the SFL… How long does that take to reach a decision. Looking less and less likely a team playing home games at Ibrox next season to me.

     

     

    Any turf accountants offering odds on the possible outcomes?

    Have you tried restoring to a previous restore point?

    I think that that is what the Start up Repair does. I`ll give it another couple of days and try the System Restore. Thanks anyway,

    I think it’s a misinterpretation regards Rooney.

     

     

    It was a random dug test he failed; couldn’t tell an Alsatian from a pitbull.

    Check the small print on this one mate :} I know what you mean though.

  21. I am confident that this Rooney story is absolute nonsense.

     

    Now, what about sorting my PC for me? o:-)
