The Daily Record today report: “Record Sport understands Rangers would fight tooth and nail against any move to impose more than the statutory 10-point penalty” in the event “the Ibrox side have to start again under a new name”, presumably if the existing company ceases to exist.
If the Record are, in fact, reporting Rangers’ position accurately, this is the first salvo in their campaign to gain control of the consequences of a corporate failure.
The Record go on to say: “Clubs who can’t exit administration by a CVA must hand over their assets to a new entity and after shares [in the SPL]are transferred to a new company agreement has to be reached with the SPL over a return to the top flight”.
The glaring observations from this aspiration is, of course, that agreement does not have to be reached with the SPL over a return to the top flight, and that clubs who cannot exit administration by a CVA (Creditors Voluntary Agreement) must dispose of their assets to the benefit of the unsecured creditors.
The debate is framed by the newspaper to suggest a range of outcomes of between 10-25 points is possible for Rangers Newco FC to pick-up the SPL shares and league position of the existing Rangers FC, with a 25 point deduction being wholly unpalatable to the new company.
There must be absolutely no presumption that a newly formed company, who happen to own Ibrox, are entitled to parachute into the SPL ahead of the current Scottish Football League members, or ahead of an existing SPL team in a relegation spot. In the event of a club failure the league can and, if necessary, must complete the season with 11 teams only.
Scottish football cannot establish a system whereby an oligopoly can vote on a system which stiffs creditors and prejudices competitors outside of the oligopoly. Football across the world is trying to clean up its reputation, we cannot allow Scotland to become a laughing stock. Let your club know your feelings on how they should vote when the time comes. It’s time for fans of Celtic, Aberdeen, Dundee United, St Mirren, Hibernian, Motherwell, Dunfermline and others to make their voices heard.

Aye but I wouldn’t say The Faces were Scottish either.
…(continued…)
At No. 5 – Proclaimers – very underrated
No 4 – Lloyd Cole – Rattlesnakes album is in my top 20 of all times
No 3 – the wonderful Annie Lennox
No 2 – Paulo Nutini (I know, only 2 albums, etc but absolutely brilliant for someone so young)

Do AC/DC count????
The did wear Scotland tops in a video and at the Apollo….
And they have an exhibition at the Kelvingrove Galleries at the mo…
I think this, and the fact that they shook us all night long gets them in the top ten….
What d’ya think pop pickers???

Too many people get caught up in them being a novelty band which they never where… If you listen to their lyrics since the very begining they are very political and their romantic song lyrics are very beatle’ist in a way they are simple but truthful. They write about what they have experienced …I hope BobbyEvanSuperstar is not looking in or he will get at me tomorrow.
Alright bhoys
How are we all?

This is purely subjective and completely pointless but
good for the Craic.
What it tells us is that most CQNers are in their 30s and 40s
and have exceedingly good taste when it comes to rock music.
Great band and great name. The doobie brothers.
Hurdy gurdy gurdy, oan the windae boxes. (thumbsup)

Good evening all
Why all the positivity today regarding the impending collapse of Rangers fc? Newsnow Rangers has not got one story in the last 24 hours along those lines.
OK.
This lot are definitely Scottish. I suspect they might have been Huns once.
But has there been a better rock’n’roll singer than Bon Scott?

Belle and Sebastian is me wife’s favorite band
Here’s one in honour of our friends across town … if you’re unfamiliar with the song, don’t just listen … check the lyrics.

White roses and misty blue eyes
Red mornings and nothing but grey skies
A cup of coffee, your heart shot clean through
Jacket you bought me gone daisy grey-blue
You’re smilin’ now but you’ll find out
They’ll use you up and spit you out now
Your head’s spinnin’ in diamonds and clouds
But pretty soon it turns out
You’ll be comin’ down now baby
You’ll be comin’ down
What goes around it comes around and
You’ll be comin’ down
Easy street and quick buck and true lies
Smile’s as sad as those dusky blue skies
A silver plate of pearls my golden child
It’s all yours at least for a little while
You’ll be fine long as your pretty face holds out
Then it’s gonna get pretty cold out
Endless streams of stars shootin’ by
You got your hopes on high
You’ll be comin’ down now baby
You’ll be comin’ down
What goes around it comes around and
You’ll be comin’ down
For a while you’ll go sparkling by
Just another pretty thing on high
Like a thief on a Sunday morning
It all falls apart with no warning
Satin sky’s gone candy-apple green
The crushed metal of your little fine machine
You’ll be comin’ down now baby
You’ll be comin’ down
What goes around it comes around and
You’ll be comin’ down
You’ll be comin’ down now baby
You’ll be comin’ down
What goes around it comes around and
You’ll be comin’ down
