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 Smith just running scared of EBT questions? Because HMRC will want to know Walter. Unlike you, they’re not walking away from the mess.
Just reading back……if there are any mods around there is a post at 13.29 which needs pulled.

Re Walter Walking Away,
Just had a text stating “This Rangers saga has seen more old men entering and leaving than one of Max Moseley’s parties!” :-))

Green holds the aces. He’s a Yorkshireman and by default stubborn. If the late Mr Smith and his chums want their new football club to play at Ibrox then they’ll have to meet his asking price for the facilities.
Putting pressure on Green will just make him dig his heels in further and possibly go down the property development route – I’m sure he has many contacts in that area. He faced much more hostility when he plundered Sheffield United – so he will not be intimidated by chunky queen’s like Dingwall.
Richard Wilson at the Herald will be pure beelin’! all those puff pieces for nowt! oh my aching sides!!

So did the polis cancel Dingbat’s Sir Walter Rally because of expected hordes, or because they knew Smith would do the un-hun-like thing and walk away?
I was wondering how long until one of our bright sparks in the MSM worked out Mr Green may have significant legal obstacles to calling his new club Rangers….
Smith must have got some bad news before it gets out……….

I really don’t think that will apply. Playeres will want to be with us as we will give them a chance at champions league football every year. What’s not to like?
And btw I never tire of seeing Celtic win and score goals so if we do romp the league every year then so be it. I really do believe that scottish football will prosper again IF the sfa has a complete overhaul and be there to apply the rules fairly to all parties. Without the need to keep the huns on life support this is a distinct possibility.
I also believe that eventually the epl bubble will burst and that Celtic will be in a very very strong position when that happens.
Off out now so will not be able to reply

Worst. Rescue bid. Ever.
Can anyone explain why Duff and Phelps are still running things rather than BDO? Why the delay in moving from administration to liquidation?
Denmark’s Nicklas Bendtner has been banned for one match and fined 100,000 euros (£80,000) by Uefa for his goal celebration against Portugal.
He lowered his shorts to reveal the logo of a betting company on his underpants after scoring the second of his two goals in the 3-2 defeat.
“This suspension applies to the next 2014 Fifa World Cup match for which Bendtner is eligible,” said Uefa.
Bendtner has three days in which to appeal.
Denmark play the Czech Republic in their first World Cup qualfying game in September.
After the Portugal game on 13 June, the Arsenal striker said: “It is just a pair of lucky boxer shorts that I used in the first game as well and have used before the tournament.
“I didn’t know I was breaking any rules but I am aware of that now.”
– just off the top of my head but is that punishment not more severe than some clubs and NTs have had for the racist behaviour of their fans?

I think it takes 28 days to complete the liquidation process.
alex thomson @alextomo
Says: “how on earth was Green ever allowed to buy the assets like that under liquidation – you can’t do that. Not surpised Smith left.”
By the beard of Zeus!!!

It is indeed and makes a mockery of the whole situation regarding punishment for racist offences. Quite clear to see that UEFA think more about their sponsors than the abuse of individuals.
DBBIA
Yes it is,by a fair margin too.
Maybe UEFA/FIFA put more emphasis on money than they do fairness.
As do some other associations,it seems.
Watty and co now running down the copland road shouting ” run Campbell…run!…run like the wind!”…..
Or UEFA don’t like Paddy Power! He should have worn Billy Hill boxers… the main sponsors of these tournaments are far too powerful.
Alan Stanford got 110 years for fraud – who thinks Whyte and Murray will get a slap on the wrist
The long wait is over.Don’t have a favourite phrase but I enjoyed watching the drunken hun,outside some orc den,stating”there’ll always be a Rangers”just before the interviewer told him of their liquidation.
Àth Bruic “badger ford” I never knew that Ibrox was an abbreviated Gaelic word.
Amazing what you can pick up on a quiet day at work.

Something in between those – but prison time for definite.
Probably an open prison for Murray, he’d have trouble in a Victorian establishment due to his disability and will be shown some compassion – but not nearly enough compassion to escape with a slap on the wrist.
