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.

“It will be difficult to leave Celtic because I have just had a good season here and we are now playing in the Champions League.
“Celtic are one of the biggest teams. I’ve been happy here, and the fans have been brilliant to me.
“But it would not be a terrible thing for me if the club agree to let me go, and they were to get a good offer.
“They are the ones who decide.

Even with the mess CW left behind, there MUST have been a chance to salvage more than this..

SPARKLEGHIRL,
there is little doubt that in the short time you have contributed here,you have been a wee bit of a star-see what I did there?
Your knowledge,insight,and-dare I say it-well developed sense of humour,sarcasm and irony is a welcome addition to the fold,no doubt about it.
However,I really do think that you should think back to a question you asked a few weeks ago,to which I replied MONACO.
Then,put on your tinfoil helmet,think long and hard,and see if you can arrive at a different conclusion from the one I have.
Clue-effed if I’m bailing YOU out,but I’ll take it from there…….

It obviously turns the brain into a gelato
I think that Gattusso , Seedorf and Kaka of 5 years ago would have walked into the Italian team last night based on ability. They were the reigning European Champions in 2007. A level that is way above international level.
And Skippy and Perrier Doumbe and NAylor and Killen showing them what’s what. How it´s done.
That level of bombast is too much for our hun leech me thinks
Hail Hail
The SFA seem to be putting themselves into a hell of a mess over this – seems very strange since they had played with a pretty straight bat up to and including the Appelate Tribunal – even playing a blinder over the whole transparency issue and calling McCoists bluff.
So what has changed since then? – rejection of the CVA and refusal of entry to SPL I suppose. Who is now pulling the strings in all the wrong directions?
Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo – I just realised it was nearly 5 years ago. :(
Doesn’t seem that long.

Rooooooooooney is a GREAT player,you might not like him as a person-that is your choice-but it does not detract from the facts.

A unanimous no to newco vote would sent out a huge message to the SFA and SPL.
The ditherers have time to turn to make it so and even Kilmarnock may vote no if they dont want to look like fools

Both go whoever you like.. And regret it.

There were also 9 world cup winners in the AC Milan team that we skelped … they won the FIFA club competition in season 2007… Clarence Seedorf was one that didn´t have a World Cup winners medal the loser that he is.

AweNaw..,
at least a clock gets tick
Take it we’ve all read the new blog on RTC? It’s very good.
My money is on no Newco playing any football anywhere next season.
Lesson here…
Like asking a top drawer tottie for a date after a less appealing lass has made a play for you. You get the knock-back from über burd then the other one takes the huff and you end up on you lonesome ownsome.
That’s going to be the story of Newco.. Wasting time with SPL when they should have been courting Div3 teams..
I suspect Div 3 teams will feel a bit slighted and take some wooing before they are seduced by NewcoHuns.
They will be playing with themselves next season
…apt, eh?
Very good Phil, keep then coming…

Padlock on the gates Wednesday, once they know for certain they are not in the SPL.

Yer on the ball today,mate-NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
Not taking any prisoners either.
Few typos though,and we canny have that.
You on something that’s getting you over-excited?
I only ask since you yourself brought up-oooooooooer-the proverbial blue pills,and I heard yer having trouble getting yer leg over at the moment.
PS-please laugh at that one,or I’m a dead man……
A wee question.
Are the rankers shops and the superstore at ibrokes still allowed to sell their kit?
I only ask as this is the team kit of a now no longer existing club. Also any sponsorship on the shirts is surely now void.
I would also guess as this is the dead club that all proceeds from sales would be going to the administrators.
Again a question would be is this not deceiving ‘the people’ who are spending their hard earned to pay their debts (or D&D wages)?
Not complaining just think it is a hilarious conundrum for the Stupid, Stupid Huns out there! :oD

If the new huns were to extricate themselves from their criminal-financial-organisational quagmire then we would be the biggest losers in them being accelerated into the new SPL2.
They would be weakened, no question. But they would also be debt free and without the old liabilities.
A one season spell outside the top table would wrangle and cause resentment.
Why didn’t the buffoons in Scottish football not just make them start in Div3 thereby simplifying matters- its as close to a panacea as you can get: everyone would be satisfied as to punishment; the hun horde want to go there; it gives Div3 clubs some cash; saves perceived integrity of our game.
Yet the only wants that don’t want it are: Donkeyboy, the bumbling Regan, Killies Johnstone & Agent Green himself ( it frustrates his quick flip game plan).
