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.

I’m with you on that, when I was reading the article I started to laugh in the office, getting some strange looks, but I have been doing some serious smiling over the last few weeks.
#sevcotilltheydie
all this is really to much, its like its been Christmas since St Valentines day
I noticed earlier today that a poster described Mr Green as being ‘elderly’ and ‘geriatric’.
Apparently he’s but a sprightly 59 years old!
Unless they were talking about Charles Green the famous balloonist born in 1875, another one who was quite fond of hot air.
Just when you thought duff and phelps were the most incompetent mob youve ever come across,
charlie boys company comes along and takes their mantle

FROM THE RECORD,TRYING TO PUT A WEE POSITIVE SPIN ON THINGS………..
With Smith’s group – which included Douglas Park and Jim McColl – now out of the picture it clears the way for Green and his backers to move the club forward in their quest to be awarded a place in the SPL
Dear,oh dear.

After allowing himself to be seen asa bit of a carpet bagger, Mr Dignity drops out of the running.
Just like Peyton Place, it seems lioke an never ending saga. Hopefully that is.
I always enjoy reading the Alex Thomson tweets about the now-liquidated Rangers as there are always hysterical tweets from deluded Huns in response.
Quality entertainment seeing these jokers getting swatted aside with ease.
WFPLG.demands to know the names of the no names!….. absolutely
Ticketmaster had them up (before it was announced) then took them down again pending the announcement. I’m assuming they got the contract to sell the tickets.
Is the rangers fighting fund still going?
if so i think we should all donate just to ensure this runs along for another few weeks yet,
this has got to be the best close season ever.
ticketmaster clickster type link thing
So will the green consortium become the green brigade

“Can anyone explain why Duff and Phelps are still running things rather than BDO? Why the delay in moving from administration to liquidation?”
I think it takes 28 days to complete the liquidation process.
————-
But does the liquidation process not start when BDO are appointed as liquidators – or have I got this totally wrong?
che
it had better be as there’s lots of fighting still to come.

This is really funny…
With the pesky parachute out of the picture, there’s nothing to impede their progress to their final destination, several feet below an unploughed field.
Does Green have until midnight to put in an appeal to the court or just until close of business?
Cheers

Barcabhoy @Barcabhoy1

There is NO rangers!
Follow, Follow we will follow Sevco…
BBC Scotland has learned that Charles Green’s Sevco 5088 company is not currently permitted to inherit the name “The Rangers Football Club”.
Any attempt to adopt the name “The Rangers Football Club” would require the approval of the liquidators, BDO.
Companies House has said that a name change application has not been made by Sevco 5088, and may not be possible.
The consortium insists the full name will be transferred over to Sevco 5088 in due course.
“The Rangers Football Club P.L.C.”, which has the registered company number SC004276, has not yet been dissolved, but will inevitably be liquidated due to unpaid debts.
BBC Scotland can confirm that the company’s liquidators, BDO, have not yet taken control of the company’s affairs, and may not do so for some time.

The way I read it is Rangers have been going through the winding-up process since Thursday, and this is a formality in the liquidation process (liquidation can’t be prevented now).
I think it was on RTC. Someone explained there is an administrative process. I’m not sure if that means BDO have to wait 28 days to start sniffing around though.
Quote of the day from Walter Smith:
“We wish the new Rangers Football Club every good fortune.”
All change at Aberdeen.
Aberdeen Football Club has announced a number of boardroom changes, aimed at preparing the club “for the greatest challenge in its history”.
Businessman George Yule has been appointed as executive vice chairman, while five directors are also stepping down from the board.
Ken Matheson and Chris Gavin are leaving with with immediate effect, while Martin Gilbert and Hugh Little will depart “following the transfer of Aberdeen Asset Management’s shares in the club to other individuals, predominantly the new board members.”
Former Aberdeen manager and captain Willie Miller is also stepping down from the board.
midfield maestro – it was kelvinbhoy. P67 will pass on your details if you email him. I’ll send a text to kb for you.
Can’t wait till the British Darts Organisation burst through the ole Ibrox doors and shout “one hun dead” in their best bingo caller voice.
Some snippets from VB – sit up straight when you read them:
“Do The Right Thing
As it stands, Charles Green’s Sevco own the club, and have placed a very credible looking chairman in place, in Malcolm Murray [did you see the state of him?], with investment from Glenmuir looking promising.
Other aspects of Green’s funding to both own the club, and drive the club forward may require further examination, but we believe some pragmatism is required, in order that Rangers as a club are secured going forward.
When Sevco acquired the assets, name, history[eh…naw] and goodwill of the club last Thursday it saved the club from liquidation[naw] at the behest of HMRC, and in some circumstances that could be seen as a positive move forward from the last few years uncertainty.”
As this transfer concluded, however, it became apparent that Walter Smith was leading an alternative consortium supported by Douglas Park, and Scotland’s richest man Jim McColl.
I can tell you that when this news broke, particularly about McColl’s involvement then Admin here on VB to a man showed a level of excitement in the future that we have not had the pleasure of for many many years.”[oops!]
“Events will hopefully progress swiftly and allow us to maintain our natural position as the greatest and most successful club in Scottish football.”
