The notion that Newco is the same as Oldco took a bit of a battering yesterday from two employees of Rangers Football Club PLC, Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker.
Naismith said, “I am extremely proud of the actions we took but I am disappointed and angry that Rangers Football Club no longer exists in its original form.”
“My loyalty is with Rangers, not with Sevco, who I don’t know anything about.
Whittaker got straight to the point, “We owe no loyalty to the new club. There is no history there for us.”
“No longer exists”, “no loyalty to the new club”, “no history there for us”. Ouch.
Sevco chief, Charles Green responded by confirming he had received guidance from the Scottish FA on the transfer of player-employees from one club to a successor club/company. Curiously he didn’t suggest the SFA backed his position that he was entitled to force players to become employees of Sevco, instead confirming only that there was an appeal route open to him:
“The Scottish FA has been considering the issue and has issued a preliminary guidance note on registration issues. That note has made it clear that it is open to the club to challenge the actions of the players.”
Perhaps emboldened by his precedent-making Court of Session challenge to the SFA which passed without censure from the Association, Green threatened to do so again:
“We have no wish to go to court on these matters but the players involved, their agents and clubs who may be pursuing these players should be in no doubt that we will do whatever it takes to protect the club’s interests.”
This is what happens when the SFA declines to pursue a club for raising actions in the civil courts.

subject: Is corruption and non payment of taxes condoned for member clubs.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have recently being made aware of a club who purports to be a member of your auspicious organisation and who has been forced to liquidate all assets due to non payment of taxes and creditors.
I was wondering if there was a reason why there has been no statement from your organisation as to the termination of this clubs membership as well as voting rights etc? The fact that there has been no statement makes it look like your organisation condones this kind of charlatan like behaviour (which I am sure you don’t?).
I think it would be prudent if someone from your organisation did some investigations into the behaviour of your member clubs as if the actions of this club become linked to yourselves it surely will do serious collateral damage to your reputation.
Ps The clubs is now called Sevco5088 and used to be known as Rangers PLC.
Yours Truly,
HH
Lets keep the pressure on, especially with impartial organistations not influenced by ex oldco directors.
I have always found in business if you did not follow or carry out policy and procedures in a situation and took some short cuts or deviations to help out a ‘pal’ is comes back to bite you to in the ass.
Sticking your head in the sand can hoping the problem will sort its sel out usually has the same effect.
The SFA have only themselves to blame for not dealing with this situation promptly. The have let D&D, McCoist and now Green push them about so I have no sympathy for them they are either, stupid, inept or just compliant or all of these.
Scottish Football has been allowed to become a even bigger laughingstock by there inept performance.
Awe Naw,
You were’nt the guy on 5Live a few years ago complaining about the lack of England caps Ryan Giggs got.
ICT they say NO
Grant Russell@STVGrant
Via @TyroneSTV, Inverness CT will vote no to a newco Rangers in the SPL http://sport.stv.tv

How many ” No’s” is that now????
Hail hail
The Men from the Highlands, they say NO….

You got it wrong …. not me
I said Celtic beat a better Italian team. AC Milan are an Italian team. You cannot dispute that because you volunteered to demonstrate your stupidity publicly
You then in your casually racist way pointed out that Seedorf and Kaka were not Italians … which if you were smart enough would realise that was irrelevant
That what you do …. get things wrong …. regardless of what name you post under today
Did you know that Ryan Giggs father was black ?
HAil HAil
ibleedgreenandwhite1 – Hearts, Hibs, Dundee United, St Johnstone, ICT, Aberdeen (Probably)… That’ll be that then.
That is 4 No’s now….

Thanks

Craigy’s trial

On a charge of murdering RFC I would have thought he’d go for Donald Findlay …
Four No’s now. Whoever declares next, condemns the huns to oblivion. St Johnstone will beat us to it, they will announce this afternoon.
FF

Many Tims favourite retweet at the latest bad news for hundom…
Chris McLaughlin @BBCchrismclaug
Craig Whyte will give considerably more cash to Ally McCoist for players than first pledged. Source close to the deal tells me.
Oh Dear Chris…
ASonOfDan,14:45
do you have a link?
ASoD
Good, I’d prefer that the others killed them off.
Think that Chris McLaughlin should just have a time out from speaking or communicating (2 year)
Dead and Loving it on 25 June, 2012 at 14:48:
If the trial’s in Edinburgh, the jury could join in, too …
Awe Naw,
You’re getting my dander up now.
They’re coming to take me away!!!

There was an excellent documentary on TV a couple of weeks ago about the man who painstakingly tracked down Capone’s accounting. He found a cache of books that allowed him to track down an accountant that had kept books for the organisation for two years. He finally broke him and got him to testify. I can’t remember his name now, it may have been Wilson or such like. However, in spite of his work, most of the glory went to Elliot Ness, who to be fair, never claimed he had done the spadework.. They both had quite unhappy ends to their lives, as did Al, of course. Great article, by the way.

To be fair to Terry Butcher (og specialist) he returned his brown brogues years ago.
His autobiography is very candid about being caught up in all the hatred and that his wife saved him from himself. He sees the sectarian problem as coming more from Rangers than Celtic and for an ex Rangers player that puts him on the FF banned list.
There will be a few worried people out there now , I think…

Boradrooms up and down the country have Chairmen and board members gnashing their teeth, theyve been forced into making a decision (the correct decision imo) by their own fans, all the while waiting patiently for Peter Lawell to make an announcement and take the heat off them, make no mistake if and when Lawell makes an announcement on behalf of Celtic FC the usual media frenzy will begin.

No, article has gone now.

Rangers are the true Pariahs of world football
Scottish Premier League side St Johnstone have been drawn against Turkish side Eskisehirspor in their Europa League qualifier.
The Saints, who qualified through the league thanks to Hearts’ Scottish Final success, will join the European competition at the second qualifying round.
And they will face Kris Boyd’s former club Eskisehirspor over two legs although things could change as the Turkish side’s participation remains subject to a Court of Arbitration for Sport decision.
