Football clubs tie themselves in knots sometimes. Newco Rangers fired off with an incorrect rant on the same club/new club debate yesterday, only to be told to withdraw it a couple of hours later – which they promptly did. Dundee United signed Charlie Telfer on a free contract and were due to pay Training Compensation to his previous club, for the player’s development from when he was 13-years-old.
Football operates a Training Compensation system whereby clubs signing players up to 23-years-old have to make a payment for the development of the player since they were 13. The payment is made in its entirety to the club which previously held the player’s registration. The receiving club is then obliged to pay any previous clubs for their portion of the player’s development.
Dundee United contested the rate at which they had to pay for Charlie Telfer, incorrectly, as it turned out. They did not contest that they were due to pay the entirety of Telfer’s development to the preceding club. No mechanism exists to forgive Training Compensation obligations in the event a preceding club no longer exist. Any monies due remain payable, ultimately to the club’s creditors.
Those at Newco who fired off the statement in haste yesterday will now consider that they have collected payment for services fulfilled by oldco. It is up to Rangers’ liquidators, BDO, to recover their portion of the money from Dundee United on behalf of creditors.
A condition which Newco signed up to, to gain membership of the SFA, was that they become responsible for all Rangers’ football financial obligations. This includes paying down Training Compensation, as well as the still-uncollected £250k fine levied by the Nimmo Smith Inquiry.
That £250k fine has become something of a football ‘football’. It is a football debt due to the SPL, which has since folded its liabilities and obligations onto the SPFL. The SPL was not in a position to enforce payment as newco never played top flight football, so the matter was parked until it became actionable. I don’t know the current position of the Nimmo Smith £250k debt but faux bravado can only encourage others to ask the question, “Where’s our £250k?”

Anton lived the dream and loved playing for Celtic…
Anton went out with my cousin for a few years. He was a smashing guy and great company.
He was also a fantastic source for tickets :-)
Barca equalize 1-1
Anton knocked it over and Macca put it in, nice one Macca, nice one son, nice one Macca let’s have another one.
And we did get another one!!

Summa 18.39
It’s a question of timescale. I expect the kind of reassurance I’m looking for to come out during the spring as a consequence of the steps BRTH refers to being taken.
I think my problem is being way ahead of the game if that does not sound condescending.
..
No it Doesn’t sound Condescending but does explain your apparent (To Me) change in Tact towards Celtic
i remember just before the Last Old Firm game (..;-)..) in 2012 Talking to Moonbeams and DIBBIA in BB’s on How we wanted the Rangers situation to Pan out..They both wanted then Dead and Banished to DIV 3 or for good if that was a Option..l wanted the SFA or UEFA/FIFA to rule if they had in Fact cheated..According to Football rules..which would have to be a Definite Yes or No..
Then for them to be Punished Accordingly by Football Authorities..My thinking was if they had been found to have Cheated in Football terms say for 9 Years they should be Tipped of titles and or Punished accordingly my suggestion was something like a 15 point deduction for every year they cheated which would give them very little chance of winning the Title for 9 years just like Celtic in the Asterix Years..
As l said this was Just Pub chat..
But my main Point was it had to be dealt with by Football Authorities..and as You mention Time-scale would have to before the Next Season not a Decade plus of Legal rulings..
I’m not quite sure if this is what happened to Juventus but in Australia Rugby Melbourne Storm were Stripped for Titles for Financial Dopping..about 2 Years ago again ruling was made in House and took months..

VP-Get us a lager,you must be minted fleecin the Christmas shoppers in Force 8 Gales…..:)
If Maribor win at home tonight, it means that Celtic could face them (or indeed Legia Warsaw) come the draw on Monday.
That would be a nice barometer of progress under RD, get one of those two mobs again, this time with 7 or 8 months of games under Celtic’s belt. . .
Over in belfast for a few days. Looking for a celtic pub, near city centre to watch game . Anyone any ideas. Thanks in advance

It’s quiet this week big mhan…..shoppers have their sensible heids on for once.
Would Guidetti be available for the KO rounds of the Europa?
Just on – If my memory serves me right we got put out of the CL on 11 points the same year arsenal went through on 9 – tonight someone will go through in the man city group on 8 points – well my point is – it just ain’t fair
It’s now more than 24 hours since Sevco made a statement.
Blantyre, anton’s love of celtic always shone through. He was a player who played for the jersey.
I first saw him playing as a trialist for us versus st mirren reserves after he recovered from his first fracture.
When he returned to his club, distillery i think, he suffered another fracture. It ‘s good he
Wasn ‘t told thanks but no thanks by the club and we signed him after recovering from the second fracture.

There is a very real chance that the second placed team in Man City’s group will get through with 6 points. . .

Old age and memory – what can I say
I was a member of the Rogan CSC for a year or two.
That’s as far as my liking for Anton went.
MWD said AYE
Dallas
Our mutual friend from Andytown knew Anton well. AR lived the dream that we both had as kids.
Wow Neymar. What a goal!
In the Champions League it is possible to go through to the knockout stage with 4 points.
In other circumstances, it is possible to be knocked out at the group stage with 12 points.
It’s a funny old game. . .
Nice goal from the cheat

One Richard Cranium shouting at me..”Do you know who that is?” that’s Charlie Miller..!! wtf.. actually the only person to tell them to shut it was Craig Moore he was the only one l recognised as l don’t watch or follow A League football..
Imagine my Delight 6 Months Later in my Local Pub in ML4 when who walks in as a Guest of the Owner the One and Only Charlie Miller..
He did seem a Tad sheepish when l mentioned Melbourne..and l agree with most he is Not the Brightest..
