TUPE governs the transfer of employees from one entity to another and will:Quote:

I remember when R*****s were playing in Manchester, remember that? The night their loyal followers smashed up Manchester city centre and each other, anyway I was driving back north on the M74 after working in Carlisle that day. Gradually I started to get overtaken by big BMWs wi RFC number plates and the like. Not who I wanted to be sharing the motorway with, but then I saw an overbridge and some C****c lads must've been out, cause there was a banner hanging from the railings and it said, "Burn A Hun, Burn a Hundred" That's it. Classic. That's what it said :)

I am shocked :rolleyes:
An #SPL source tells me they would have no problem with #Rangers transferring players contracts to a newco company.@BBCchrismclaug 7 hours ago
Now let me guess, that would be Doncaster?Quote:

To be honest if Doncaster reported that Hibs were to play Hearts in the Scottish Cup final I would question if this was true. He is very untrustworthy indeed.
There are ways around TUPE though. eg if it's a transfer of shares then the purchasers can get around the regs. I srate this as a victim.Quote:

This radio interview with Paul Murray (may have been posted already) has lots of very interesting bits...D&P not playing with straight bat if you take from what Murray says....
Also very interesting that Europe income was totaly crucial to thier business plan cash flow...and in effect he is saying any NewCo = none for 3 years (which is why they were only going for CVA) and that in effect he can't see finances working without it.....
It just gets more ridiculous....so not only do they need to be in SPL...BUT they need Champs league income for it to work....they are royaly busted if thats the sand they are built on....
Is it their call? I thought it would be up to the SFAQuote:

Meanwhile, ESPN have denied they are ready to pull the plug on their contract with the SPL.
An inaccurate report suggested the uncertainty over Rangers’ future had prompted the broadcaster to ditch the agreement drawn up for the next four seasons.
PS. So Murray reckoned they needed 'double digit million' (so 10+ million) funding to get past first year with no Euro income....and under NewCo that would be needed for 3 years...Buffalo Bill who was talking about living within their means (I take that as i'm not putting my cash in) won't wear that...so when he realises UEFA won't roll over he will either walk away....or they will be radical running cost cuts...(even if all the other hurdles can be jumped)Quote:

Post CVA / liquidation, as long wages are kept under turnover I don't see how it would be difficult to have them turning at least a small profit.
Another thought on this.Quote:

BTW, I thought there were six members on the board including someone from Celtc. The report only mentions five.
I get the impression that Paul Murray thinks that Rangers need to be strong and competitive, whereas Bill Murray will cut back the squad to the bare bones, anything to turn a profit. The latter obviously doesnae fit in with their perceived place in the footballing world :greengrinQuote:

I think this is the exact template of what Duff and Duffer are proposing the purchaser of Rangers F C in Administration should do. Great when Officers of the Court are actively encouraging fraud.
There is a report suspected fraud Tel Number if anyone on here feels incensed enough to give them a call. :agree:

But that is the point...current spending is way beyond income (without Euro income) so either keeping this income / investing millions to cover this deficit / cutting costs (dumping most of current squad and replacing with cheaper alternatives) are the 3 options...Quote:

But that would suggest that the other clubs are against newco's entry, and they are now getting a vote. And the Rangers fans (egged on by employees of the club) are the only ones who have openly threatened 'sanctions' against anyone.Quote:

In any normal profession, that would certainly be the case. Here's hoping the clock is ticking for him.Quote:

The best way to described Rangers IMO is that they are troublesome keek that just wont go away no matter how many times you flush ,but through time eventually it does go you just got to keep battering it with the appropriate chemicals ,:agree:
