Just been thinking and this is stupid but

What happens if say 3 clubs obstain from voting? would cloneagers then only need 4 of the remaining clubs to say yes, or would it pull the whole vote into limbo and leave the SPL no option but to reject the newco. This way clubs are not having to vote either way but know fine well what the outcome is. Is there any statute that says they must vote either way? surley in a democracy they can spoil their vote.

If the clubs all refused to vote, would the SPL/SFA just allow re entry of the newco witout the clubs consent. Would they have the power to do this? or would it go to the comittee instead.

I know this wont happen however it could technically admonish clubs of blaim and provide them a route to cop out like SPL clubs like to do on big decisions.

Surely for a team to be voted in to the SPL then they would need 8 clubs to vote yes regardless of how many abstain from voting?

not a rumour just a thought with slyspurts spending as much money on the epl. how much wil they be willing to pay for the very first Celtic v any newco ? im not saying billions of pounds but plenty people around the world will want to see it surley Celtic and the newco could make some good money

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Maybe Sly would be interested provided this newco manage to get by the likes of Patrick Thistle or Queens Park 1st before they can even dream of playing the mighty Celtic in any revamped Glasgow Cup

Mikey Bhoy {Ed007's Note - DisneySports (ESPN) have lost their contract to show EPL games from next season (2013/14) to BT. Maybe a TV deal with them could be negotiated Mikey......}

Agree0 Disagree1

It would certainly generate more cash than normal if they had to start from 3rd div and it was the first game between them if they didnt play for a wee while. If they get back in SPL it will just be business as usual. And gumf about how this will never be allowed to happen again.etc etc etc.

Ed what would happen about the ramsdens cup if zombie rangers are granted permission to join div 3 next season? Hasn't the fixtures already been released? Surely this would have to be addressed ASAP as any ramsdens cup without zombie rangers would be tainted and probably die?

They came from Bonnie Scotland;But bowed to Lizzies crown;It really is ironic cause Lizzie put them down;They tried to avoid their sentence;By threatening other teams;It was all in desperation as they were crumbling at the seams;Auld Liz was getting angry liquidators she did send;But like the years before them they lied right to the end;They're buried now in Govan do you want to know their name;They were born as Glasgow Rangers but died as Scotland's shame........DH

K-Dot and Timalloy, ive been thinking this guy maybe is caldwell himself trying to big up the return. Or a PR guru for his agent trying to stirr up rumour that he is returning to celtic to try and force interest from elsewhere.

Or maybe they are trying cosmic ordering,say it enough and type it on cyberspace enough and it will happen?

either that or it is some weird Gary Caldwell fetish this person has.

Yeah Evingu, I agree with you I think he is Gary Caldwell or maybe Steven Caldwell bigging up his bro?

Keep an eye over the coming weeks at the antics of CG, as I don't think he's as silly as we all think. Announcing transfer pots and targets in the wake of a CVA proposal, when liquidation was always the desire and now telling the current squad they will be in breach of contract if they leave the NEWCO. He seems the master in diplomacy but actually is sending out strong signals to other clubs to "come and get them". He doesn't want overpaid players hanging around. What's next, announcements that Ibrox isn't maintained enough for regular football in anticipation that Tesco can make a better offer than him. The next few weeks will be interesting. Rangers fans are actually believing all this BS coming from this guy. They deserve all they get!

people who believe a newco will be 'debt free' are wrong....what is green using to pay off dumb & dumber & buy the assests of murray park & ibrox...A LOAN ! plus he said he doesnt see himself being there longer than a year so who will pay the loan then ? the fans !

There are lots of posts talking about Rangers applying to get back in via the 3rd division. I think a much more likely scenario is zombie Rangers buying an existing division 1 club eg cowdenbeath in the same way as Airdrie United did to Clydebank. What do you think Ed? {Ed007's Note - I don't think that will happen.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Rangers are fast running out of friends, doing this could mean they would never play again.

hi ed. how can a club that owes so much money to creditors be able to sell their assets (ibrox,murray park,and car park) for only 5.5 milion to newco when they actually are worth about 150 million. surely creditors can auction it off too highest bidder . can someone tell me how they can do this please i dont understand. {Ed007's Note - It is no longer DP's (we can drop the & out of it, after all they did actually f**k them twice) company to sell, it is up to the liquidators BDO to arrange any deal. Anyone can bid.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ed does this mean we can expect others such as the BK back on the scene? I'm in Dundee n all utd fans don't want them back in spl. A lot of pressure being applied to Thompson. In terms of gate receipts 2 potential sell outs against Dundee outweigh the money from them. The tv n associated sponsorships need to be taken into account but defo groundswell of fans say no to newco {Ed007's Note - Yes mate. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the other parties linked returning, most likely will be the BK.}

I see the bigot that is Dingwall is agreeing with Green and stating that HMRC should have stated weeks ago that they were going to reject the CVA.

Firstly, how could they reject the CVA if the administrators only issued the proposal within the last fortnight. HMRC were not aware of what the proposal was.

Secondly, can you imagine if HMRC stated weeks ago that they were going to reject any CVA that was issued, no matter what it offered. The cries from Dingwall and his merry band would have been deafening.

There are two main reasons as to why the CVA was rejected:

1. HMRC were not convinced of what they would get paid from the CVA. Remember what happened to Portsmouth. HMRC were promised one thing and only got a fraction of it.

2. By rejecting the CVA, HMRC will appoint BDO as liquidators and as part of the liquidation proces BDO have a legal requirement to carry out a full forensic investigation of Rangers. This will allow HMRC to go after previous Directors to recover additional money and therefore increase the creditor pot to more than what a CVA offers.

If HMRC accepted a CVA the administration process would not allow for a forensic examination and as such HMRC could not go after the directors and get more money for the creditors.

Do Rangers supporters not think it is right that the previous directors should be brought to account, if it is found they acted improperly.

But I guess if you are Green and Dingwall you don't let the truth get in the way. You have to hit out and blame someone. Don't you?

K-Dot. {Ed007's Note - Has Dingwall came out from under his rock to rally the troops again? Oh dear, aren't their enough marches at this time of year?}

Believable6 Unbelievable0

ED007, KDot, I see that Murray has said he resigned 3 years ago this month, and as BDO can only go back 3 years he feels he is in clear, is this right? Timalloy {Ed007's Note - As far as I know Tim that is correct.}

This isn't strictly a celtic rumour but:

According to the B8C:

"Arsenal set to sign Olivier Giroud for £12m from
Montpellier"

They could have bought the whole Renegers squad and all their assets for £7 millions less.

Was in work today talking to a few lads the topic of subject was what Scott brown was saying the other he came I Celtic to play in Europe and against rangers? Does anyone think other footballs will have this opinion and avoid Celtic. My opinion was no and there is Europen football every year! What everyone else think?

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Brown was having to be diplomatic in front of the cameras. He can hardly say anything else.

K-Dot. {Ed007's Note - I agree K-Dot, he was playing against Rangers with Hibs. He could have lowered himself to Slug's level and said something like:

"That's their problem although I cannot say i'm not enjoying what is happening to them at the moment".

But we all know CFC have a bit more class about themselves than that :-)

Agree5 Disagree0

I don't think it would matter.do u think the likes of izaguerre coming from honduras gave rangers a 2nd thought?i would say no,but when you mention playing in europe,that would be a big pull for any player,hooper and ledley both stated this when they signed up

Agree2 Disagree0

How long can Celtic play the Champions league card though? The 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds isn't much of an attraction to decent players. Within the next two seasons you will see the standard of player coming to Celtic drop. Will Celtic be able to guarentee group stage football in the Champions league within the next two years....no.

TTG

Agree0 Disagree3

TTG - it is a while since Celtic qualified for the group stages but have been able to attract better and better quality players to Celtic each season and that is with Rangers winning 3 out of the last 4 titles.

K-Dot.

Agree4 Disagree0

K-Dot,

Exactly, Celtic may have failed to qualify for the group stages of the Champs league in the past 3 seasons, but, there was still the challenge from a Rangers team that won 3 in a row. The challenge Celtic could offer players was retaining the title from their fiercest rivals. They can't offer the same challenge now, there is no challenge other than winning the league before christmas. Where is the attraction in a GUARENTEED SPL league winners medal?

TTG

Agree0 Disagree0

Ask gascoigne etc. The league is never easy to win when you live within your means. There will be a realignment as in the past. We now know that even with the huge sums from mih Murray still had to avoid millions in tax to fund his rangers. God knows how celtic kept up but the others had no chance. That has changed for ever. Scottish football is at rock bottom now and the only way is up. Maybe not next year but the clubs will see the opportunity.

Pat i will help you set up a farce of a PVA (pats voluntary arrangement) so you can just go on to become a newpat. I will however seek a binding contract where i can by all of oldpats assets for nothing and then will sell them on to yourself when you are set up as a newpat so you can ditch the bad histor but keep the good bits of your previous 'exploits'. Hows that sound?

Ed or anyone. I have read the following quote and cannot fathom out which bit is true if any. Or what the point exactly is and what is hoped to be gained by such statements.

Green said: “Let’s not gloss over things – at the moment, if the CVA does fail on Thursday, and it is looking as if it will on HMRC’s current position, then we are not even in the SPL. Forget about playing in Europe, we might not even be playing in Glasgow.”
But he then added: “The solemn promise I can make to Rangers fans today is that this club will continue as Rangers Football Club and will continue to play at Ibrox Stadium."

im stumped.

Evinguu {Ed007's Note - It sounds like so is he Evinguu, he has tripped himself up on so many occasions I find it baffling that some Rangers fans still think he has their best interests at heart. Whatever happened to the 'agreement' he had with HMRC?}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

This from the man that stated he was too honest! What the hell is he talking about?

DazzaBhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

Im a bit confused by this. Should the Liquidators not be selling of Ibrox etc to the highest bidder so that the creditors receive as much money back as possible?

Agree1 Disagree0

Ed there have been so many agreements surrounding Rangers (should we call them that or anything close to that anymore?) that i dont think they have ever been worth the bit of paper people wish they were written down on. But he had been having meetings with them so he said. But he is wholly inept so is there any chance he was speaking to these guys by accident www.hcmr.gr/en/ ?
There has never been any clarity from this guy other than basically him saying I will own this club, nothing more. How and through what means or whos money he has never said. Now the clubs fate is pretty much decided why is he not under pressure from 'Fans' to release his group of investors list.

DazaBhoy if anyone figures out what he is talking about they could make a killing sadly that man is not me.as i said before im effin stumped.

Other dude, thats what i thought too, i really fail to see how he could make a deal with administrators for the event of liquidation. Surley any agreement to buy assets have to come from the liquidator? I have a feeling the Blue Knights or someone else may launch legal action about this apparent agreement soon enough.

Evinguu

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks Evinguu,I also suspect that the Liquidators might look upon Ibrox as an unaffordable expensive luxury if they are busted down to Div 3 and recommend ground sharing instead, in the interests of the creditors. I am old enough to remember the late 70s early 80s when they were crap and struggling to get crowds of 10 to 15,000 through the gate.

Just been on some rags sites for a laugh and came across an Andy Goram column which starts with the line 'They can rob Rangers of their place in the SPL'

Yes Goram you moron, let's ignore the fact rangers robbed the tax man, the British public and other football clubs in Scotland as well as Europe, not to mention countless other businesses out of a lot of money. Let's not mention robbing several titles, cups etc. No let's focus on how it will be some sort of criminal act if a zombie rangers aren't allowed back into the SPL!

Then you have a man called Charles Green who may set up an entirely new football club in hope of taking the place vacated in the scottish league system by a team that will soon cease to exist but is trying to tell everyone that the SPL will die without this soon to be defunct club. If that is true then why on earth would he try to create an entirely new club when the top league in Scotland is apparently about to die? Surely such a small club with no fan base or history would be the 1st club to go under when the grim reaper comes for the Scottish game

Mikey Bhoy

Believable4 Unbelievable0

I expect that some long established Junior and Highland League clubs have been applying for years to get into the SFL. Is it fair that a newco with no previous history gets preferential treatment over these clubs in regards to the forthcomming vacancy? This is presuming that the newco fails to be readmitted to the SPL {Ed007's Note - If Zombie Rangers need to apply to the SFL then Spartans and Cover Rangers would apply as well, it means that a place is available, any team can apply and will be dealt with on their own merit. Rangers accounts history (there is none) would be a major stumbling block, or should be. Even for SFA/SPL membership a club must have signed off accounts for the last three years.}

ed is it true rangers newco will not have to pay any money (even if the big tax case went against them ) to any of their debtors it does not seem right to have possibly over £100 million owed to creditors and not have to pay a penny so what if they cant play in europe for 3 years and so what if they have to go to div 3 they would not make a hundred million in that time cant be true {Ed007's Note - Why are you posting as a CFC and a Rangers fan?

So he bell has tolled, the end is nigh.

I think this might be the very end of the shame, I cant see the SPL allowing them in due to "sporting integrity" or in other words, a chance for the breakaway 10 to actually get the changes that they have been after for the last few years. Celtic wont be able to hold them back alone.

I also think that there may be rumblings from highland league, Edinburgh East, Borders teams if the newco is allowed to just slip into 3rd division.

Think this is the start of the very end for Rangers

Having found myself popping over to see how our wee pals over "there"are getting on today it's beyond a joke. At least half of that lot Still! Don't realise what has actually just happened today. Some still think the blue knights are due to come in and save the day, it's actually pretty sad I think that some are still kidding themselves on. Crazy stuff which ultimately will effect us in the end so personally I just hope Murray and whyte (and I suspect a few more too) are held to answer in court for what they have done. The effects of these events today will last with us for years to come, slightly at a loss at what to think,beleive or hope for now?

Celtic starlet Victor Wanyama is a target for a host of Premier League clubs and is hopeful of sealing a move to England this summer, Sky Sports understands.

Liverpool, Stoke City, Queens Park Rangers, Newcastle and West Ham United are all interested in landing the Kenyan midfielder.

Wanyama joined Celtic last summer from Belgian side Beerschot AC but his impact has been huge at Parkhead.

Celtic paid less than £1million for the 20-year-old but now a fee in excess of £6million is being talked about for Wanyama.

Clubs in Italy, Spain and France have all been impressed by Wanyama, but he is understood to be keen on a move to the Premier League.

Opportunities

Now Wanyama is ready to move from Celtic and his business manager Rob Moore has explained that he hopes the club would listen to offers if they came.

"That has been a lot of talk which is not necessarily true," Moore explained to Sky Sports.

"But he is like any other young talented footballer in that he wants to play at the highest level.

"He has made the club aware that if they receive an offer from one of the big leagues he would like them to consider it.

"He is not unhappy at Celtic, far from it - he loves the club and everything has been great for him since he moved but should something come in he feels they should listen."


If this is true then get rid of him, no one is bigger the Glasgow Celtic and to be honest he wouldnt even lace Beram Kayal's boots. There suggesting a 6million pound fee? Closer to 10million in my oppinion when you have players like Jordan Henderson costing 20million..!

as a st mirren fan i think all the spl chairmen with the possible exception of celtics should block rangers newco from the spl , celtic would not have rangers to help them maintain that really democratic system of 2 clubs caught up in their own greed dictating to all the other clubs ,so keep the newco out and all the other clubs can vote for a bigger slice of the pie , lets say away clubs get 25% of home gates regardless of season tickets i,e 60,000 at celtic park then 15,000 say at £20 a head = £300,000 goes to the away team , also an even split with any sponsorship money, tv moneys and anything else, so come on you chairmen have a bit of bottle rangers a dead almost buried lets get our fair share as i said earlier its the celtic chairman who wont like this but he cant out vote the other 11 lets do it buddyfe

So why do teams like you're lot deserve some of the gate receipts when you bring less than 200 fans, ict less than 100, st johnstone less than 50 etc etc none of the away support bring anywhere near 1000 fans to celtic park what we should do is celtic fans instead of buying season tickets donate the amount our season tickets cost to celtic then in turn celtic charge 1.00 a ticket for every home game that way we keep all the income that we generate and the rest then get there 10/15% share of the gate receipts be it 50,000 55,000 or 60,000 tickets sold.

How about you split the gates fairly....... each club keeps the money from tickets sold to their own fans!

See it can work other ways too.

But would you really be happy with having to give away 25% of all your home gates to another club? When they for example brought 9 fans like ICT did for one game last year (I think that was even against you guys was it not?) at the end of the year it would end up working out about the same money gathered anyways apart from for celtic who are essentially being punished. Shared gates wouldn’t work out for the better. Let clubs keep their entire home gate. If clubs can’t attract more than a few thousand then that’s the clubs fault.

The best thing to do from here is lower prices. Get the stadia full every week.

Also the democratic system you mention.. Well it works other ways too. If Hearts + Hibs wanted to block something they could. And so on and so forth. All clubs voted for it in the first instance as the clubs wrote the rulebook. This said it does need to be better. Its not just the Old Firm who have had this power of veto any 2 clubs have had this power.

This said it does need more openness about it. But splitting gates basically doesn’t work. All these ideas serve to do ultimately is punish Celtic for their honestly gained success. That is not fair. Create your own success. Encourage more to come to games and get your teams gates up. Lobby your club to lower ticket prices even to encourage more neutrals along. Build a dynasty of a well supported affordable club for your communities is the message I say to clubs. Success and financial wellbeing will follow. Bums on seats is the priority. Get people back into our stadia by making it bloody affordable to do so on a weekly or by weekly basis!

And what makes you think that any other company has any rights to demand a cut of the revenue of Celtic PLC? Celtic have spent 125 years building up their worldwide fan base but you think that the money these fans put into our club should be dished out amongst the other clubs who can't attract their own fans to generate money? Away you go you muppet

Love all the mathematicians out there who give numbers and percentages. Bottom line is where for EVERY game the number of registered tickets goes to the away/home team. e.g if Celtic register 60% of the ticket sales then they get 60% of the gate money - home or away! Season tickest should count. That way when Celtic play at Inverness and supply 80% of the crowd, they get 80% of the gate fees. Simple and fair. Why do English teams want Celtic for testimonials, friendlies etc...we follow the club - WE DONT DO WALKING AWAY

Agree1 Disagree0

Why should a team who bring 200 fans to Celtic Park despite being less than 10 miles away , get 25% of the gate money for a crowd of 60,000 ? it is unjust , unwaranted , undeserved and totally wrong , i agree that morally the SPL chairman should vote no to a newco Rangers , but all you smaller teams are interested in , is money as you're post proves , perhaps St Mirren will gain some Paisley based former Rangers fans , i subsidise your clubs twice a season as it is , you dont deserve any more .

Each year I payfor a season ticket for my grandson and will continue to do so. By doing this I am investing in the club he supports at home. My contribution to other clubs is made in the form of away tickets as he goes to these matches as well how dare anyone tell me there club should be getting any more of my cash. As was suggested in an earlier post bring the price of your clubs season tickets down promote your club and fill the stadium. Don't come on heare and tell me how to spend my cash.

Agree2 Disagree0

Why don't the home teams keep all the gate money so it doesn't matter if there are 6000 or 60000 there then the club knows that's all theirs to do with as they please?When Celtic fans go to the other grounds then that's where the other clubs earn money.

Stop all this Gary Caldwell bashing! Let's get behind him, People on here will sit here all day and say Caldwell is 'pure pish', but they are most likely the same people who were throwing praise at him when he was playing very well. People try to kid themselves and say he was never a good player, if you can get the best out of him, he is a solid CB. I can't wait for him to put the hoops back on next season.

I will support anyone who wears the hoops, but not someone who DOES NOT play for us,

The only way you'll see Caldwell in the hoops again is if Yeovil sign him

Yesterday was the first day in over 1 week you've not been on here spouting your pi** about that person caldwell but you must have been in the depths of despair that your rotten, bigoted to the core club is going to be no more, no one on here believe's in anyway what so ever that you are a celtic fan

now that rangers are in liquidation what is the point of buying new players.even if we get some new guys in we are not nearly good enough for champions league..mite as well sell half the team we wont need them next year to run away with the league down size bring in young Scottish players build a team for the future and an infrastructure for the future because we will not be able to afford to buy a team that can compete in the champions league ..jc

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Hello ted, getting over the shock ?

Agree3 Disagree0

1. We are NEARLY good enough for champions league, with the correct 3/4 players coming in we would be there. 2. We are already building a team for the future, why on earth you would want to rip that up and start again is beyond me. 3. Get a grip of yourself.
