Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but this Scotsman article says that Friday is the (latest) deadline day for Rangers to get SFA registration. SFL rules state a 14 day limit.
http://www.scotsman.com/sport/footba...oist-1-2425462Quote:
More pressing for the new Rangers is the fact that SFL rules state new clubs must gain SFA membership within 14 days of being accepted into their organisation. That means that Friday is the deadline day for Sevco, who have been treated as a completely new club by the SFL in paying a £1,000 application fee and a £1,000 entrance fee to play in the Third Division.
Seems like quite a good article. Says that Ally McCoist has a "confused stance".
When is Ranger's first proper game?
Is it not next Weekend for the Ramsdens Cup ?Quote:

Do the players need to be registered to play in a friendly? Teams field trialists at friendlies all the time but they wouldn_ be registered with that club.Quote:

Fair play to the SFL if that's the case though, and I hope the SFL stick to their guns. Their members were forced to accept Newco and I think it's only fair that they get the opportunity to cash in with a decent TV deal from someone.
The 'big' news overby is that Brian Kennedy is to make a £5.5M bid today for a controlling share in Newco. Sorry if already posted.
This is hilarious...

What's the bid idea?
By jim Traynor on Jul 23, 12 07:34 AM
WITH only days to go before Rangers begin life all over again there should be a sense of anticipation sweeping through a club which has been disgraced, discredited and dumped in the game's basement. At least they still have a pulse but 10 weeks after Charles Green agreed an exclusivity deal with Rangers' administrators, uncertainty and anxiety continue to stalk the corridors of Ibrox and Murray Park.
And I believe concern over the new club's finances has prompted Brian Kennedy to make a £5.6million bid for a controlling interest. Rangers sources insist that bid, more than Green and his partners from Zeus paid for the entire package, was made on June 25 and although rejected, my information is it remains on the table.
It is also understood from within Ibrox that there is growing concern over Rangers' future because Green's business plan was based on his club starting in the First Division at worst. One of the main planks of his model was a rush by fans to buy season tickets but so far no one has been trampled in the stampede to the box office. Yet, Green's own "Financial Offering", the document sent out to potential investors, made reference to raising as much as £15m through season tickets. There is still a wide credibility gap between Green and Rangers supporters. They remain unconvinced by the Yorkshireman and his people and so it seems do investors, even though an English sports agency said last week they want to pay £1m for a 10 per cent share. They didn't have to muscle their way to the front of a queue either, even though Green insisted from day one that attracting investors and money wouldn't be a problem. It was also written in his document that as much as £30m of working capital would be brought in by the middle of July and Rangers fans might want to ask where that money is. Green would say his plan was dependent on gaining control of the club through a CVA but even so, surely a handful, a few even, out of all the investors - I think, Charles, you may have mentioned 20 - he said were lined up might have gone ahead regardless. But where are they? Where's the money Charles? And is there enough to keep Rangers going long enough to survive the season?
The truth is Rangers' financial woes are far from over but any cash-flow problems could be solved if Green accepted Kennedy's offer which remains live. Kennedy, of course, tried to get Rangers on his own, and then by riding with the Blue Knights, but while they and others were left behind when Green made his blindside run, the English-based Scottish millionaire kept up to speed with developments.
He continued to monitor the situation very closely and our sources believe his offer to be substantial and fair. The deal is Kennedy would gain 51 per cent of the club in return for his money which would be used as working capital rather than to fill anyone's pockets and, within two years, Green's investors would get back the amounts they put in, with 10 per cent interest on top. It is understood Kennedy was reluctant to turn his back because he fears Rangers could slide back into administration, or worse. That's why he's willing to boost resources by injecting more than the purchase price paid by Green's group while still offering them the chance to get their money back, and then some.
The bid was dismissed when Green believed Rangers would start in the SPL or, at worst, the First Division but our information suggests attitudes within the controlling group might be softening now they are in the Third.
Understandably, there is acute concern that despite a series of charm offensives, season tickets have not been sold in great numbers. But there are one or two within Ibrox who are beginning to wonder if the fans would be tempted to pile in with Kennedy on board. Anger has also been simmering among the Rangers support because their club doesn't have a powerful voice at the game's top tables. They are asking why Green and club chairman Malcolm Murray haven't been more vociferous in defending Rangers against sanctions but with Kennedy and his management team in place that could be another problem solved.
The SFA, who hit Rangers with a £160,000 fine and a 12-month registration ban, and SFL have said they won't be pushing to have any of their trophies won by Rangers during the EBT years erased from the records. The SPL, however, have yet to tell their own agitators it might be time to focus on more important issues, like staying alive. Kennedy might have delivered that message long ago and he'd probably be warning that if the SPL remain entrenched over the issue of titles they might push Rangers to the point where they are happy to stay in the SFL, rather than return to a league which has made it very clear they couldn't accept them. The rift could become permanent if the SPL insist on further sanctions which would push Rangers even closer to their new neighbours.
In fact, the notion of the SFL and Rangers forming a stand-alone system, which would prevent promotion to the SPL has, I believe, been discussed informally and some think it has merit and possibilities. There are only two massive clubs in Scotland, even if one of them, Rangers, are on their knees. But they will get back to their feet and if they remained in the SFL the game's poor relations could very quickly become the stronger and richer of the two leagues. Naturally, the SPL would laugh at the very idea yet if, because of diminishing TV and sponsorship deals, they lose a few clubs they'd be reduced to Celtic, the game's main power, but perhaps only seven or eight impoverished others. Those clubs could be even less of an attraction to telly companies than now. On the other hand, SFL clubs would benefit from deals of their own because they now have one of the big two in their pack. And having already lost everything, Rangers have nothing left to risk. The SFL, and Rangers, might never have a better chance to grow, while the SPL, who left the others behind in 1998 to set up on their own, would become weaker. The SFA would probably be unable to resist a wish by the SFL and Rangers to stand alone and demand European places because they couldn't rule in favour of, say, eight or nine SPL clubs against 30 in the SFL. After all, haven't the SPL been insisting the voice of the majority must be heard?
First, Rangers have to stay alive and if Green needs the fans to back him through season-ticket sales he just might sell a few more by doing a deal with Kennedy. And Ally McCoist might be told for the first time how much he has to spend on his project: Rebuilding Rangers
Yes, quite right that the SFL should be demanding a European place now that they're so fantastically strengthened.
And for the avoidance of doubt it should go to whichever team finishes in the place that NewHunCo finishes in, in whatever division they are in.
Of course.Anything else would be a conspiracy.Quote:

I had to think about that too.Quote:

Looks like the income from season ticket sales will be drastically reduced according to this statement, will it be enough to cover costs?
Rangers FC (Official)
In response to numerous calls from supporters requesting season ticket prices, the club would like to provide information regarding pricing for season 2012/2013 - subject to SFA membership.
The decision has been taken to reduce season ticket prices significantly - full Adult and concession season ticket prices will be reduced by ONE THIRD and Juveniles will be reduced by 50%.
READ the latest on season ticket pricing on the club website here: http://bit.ly/OiZplw
I was thinking it might be a new share issue. I don't know how Green would emerge with a fixed return in two years though - I suppose there's a possibility that Jim Traynor's got it wrong...Quote:

I would imagine that unless they sell a great number of ST's they will have cash flow problems given those figures and the running costs to operate the club.

I just want to get back to football and supporting Hibs, even if that will undoubtedly be full of the usual angst.

More evidence was then found to implicate the deceased Earl so his corpse was removed from its tomb and taken to Edinburgh Castle and put on trial for treason. Not being in a position to put up much of a defence he was found guilty and all the lands of Restalrig were forfeited by the Logan family.
Legend has it a faithful servant of the Logans, Swally Mac of Oist, defended the family to the end , screaming he would never accept the forfeiture of the Logan's lands but nobody paid any attention to the fool who was interred in the bedlam in a town known as the Dear Green Place. :greengrin

And so it begins. £134m or so unpaid to large and small creditors. £14m PAYE withheld from HMRC. Money not paid to other football clubs. Punishments dodged or ineffectual.
Now they sign players we and most of the SPL can't afford. Something stinks in the state of Scottish football.

For me continuation of the dual contract investigation is even more important for "sporting integrity" than which division Rangers restart in. They've applied for a transfer of Rangers' SFA membership so they have to accept responsibility for past misconduct as well as claiming the history of past success. If they don't then there's no reason for clubs to follow any rules on player eligibility again.Quote:

I'd expect him to concede that as a possible result of the investigation, and if McCoist is so upset that he resigns that will be a bonus, bringing a much needed reduction in the wage bill without a payoff being required. What will worry him is possible other punishments that could have an impact on his financial plans. I suspect that's what he's trying to get an agreement on.

That's simply awful! In all honesty most of what's come out of Ibrox for the last six months has been at the very least somewhat economical with the truth. To be fair Reagan and Doncaster have not revealed themselves to be totally credible or consistent in the course of this saga either.
Nonetheless the issue of possible double contracts is so central to any notion of sporting integrity and fair play that what little kudos the Scottish game possesses, would almost certainly vanish instantly.
What is particularly galling is that non-Hun's supporters seemed to have been content, if not happy to allow the SFA/SFL to conduct their enquiries with all the haste of a condemned man.
Yet still the arrogant cheating Hun's are not happy, I ask you?

I suspect the problem will be with the dual contracts is that once found guilty UEFA will pile in with sanctions that could see the zombiehuns out of European competition for a lot longer than the minimum 3 years they are at the moment.

It's pretty simple Huns; if you want to keep your sectarian history, you're going to have to pay some pretty severe penalties, including signing bans, stripping of titles, big fines and european bans.
If you want to get away without any of those, then you need to start again and confine the history to just that.

IMHO it is increasingly likely that there will be no Rangers playing football next season. In a perfect world I would doubt if they would ever come back at all.
But this isn't a perfect world.

They should be barred from all transfers until that money is paid back if they claim one bead of Rangers Football Club's 140 year sectarian history.
The fixture situation is no clearer from the BBC website.
The Rangers FC have fixtures against Brechin away (Challenge Cup) and East Fife at home (League Cup) but do not appear on the SFL3 Fixtures or League Table.
Even more puzzling is that Club 12 no longer feature on the SPL Fixtures although it still appears on the League Table. No mention of Dundee anywhere.
Dundee still appear on the SFL1 League Table but their first SFL1 Fixture against Dumbarton is listed as Postponed. Airdrie United appear in the SFL2 League table but not in either the SFL1 or SFL2 Fixtures. Stranraer also appear to be in limbo while appearing in the SFL3 League Table.
As I read things the only thing still to be decided is if Rangers will play in SFL3 or if they will be cast into the wilderness. Either way there is nothing to stop the SPL, SFL1, and SFL2 Fixtures being finalized. Not very professional given that the season starts in two/three weeks time.
I appreciated that fixtures will have to be adjusted in some cases to avoid Dundee and Dundee United being at home on the same day but that should not affect any of Dundee's away fixtures including that which should be happening two weeks on Saturday (away to Kilmarnock).
