So Walter DOES do walking away..... had his wee bit of PR and now offski....
Sloppy BBC story:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18503656
The consortium led by former manager Walter Smith has withdrawn its offer to take over the 'newco' Rangers.
Surely that should be newco "Rangers"? Newco they are, Rangers they're not.
I wonder if Super Swally will still be sticking around now that Uncle Walters bolted .
Starting to wonder how long even this Newco can last.

Damn- Club 12 are above us in the league according to the BBC. They are however in the position Dundee would occupy alphabetically-
do they know something we don't):devil:

I don't think its a case of walking away more stepping aside whilst Green and Co fall on their a*rses. Little or no season ticket money, no new sponsorships for the New Club, no players to sell, and first monthly wages due soon.Quote:

Who's monthly wages? Surely the Newco don't have any employees yet?Quote:

ower proddy way of life we all must do what we can to keep it do not let them win"
Managed to spell our as 'ower' not once but twice!!
This is the level of intellegence we are up against. Not exactly a mensa convention is it?
The wording definitely sounds like they expect Green to crash and burn. If he can't even state his funding levels and who is involved with him to a consortium of potential investors, that says it all. Unless of course that is all just a play to keep the Rangers fans against Green, but I can't see the need for that.Quote:

I can see sphincters a twitchin ... how many will try the steer to ensure HMRC do not come a knockin'?
More likely realises he's about to be shat on from a great height by the taxman I would wager.Quote:

Tee-hee. I can't get enough of this.
I'm thinking the same.Quote:

The Green takeover, whilst we're told is "binding", isn't actually completed fully until the end of July (if I remember rightly). If they miss out on either the SPL share/status then I suspect they'll simply pull the plug on the deal. That's when WS and Co. will step in and purchase what they need, possibly from the liquidator(?).

BBC Scotland has learned that Charles Green's Sevco 5088 company is not currently permitted to inherit the name "The Rangers Football Club".
Any attempt to adopt the name "The Rangers Football Club" would require the approval of the liquidators, BDO.
Companies House has said that a name change application has not been made by Sevco 5088, and may not be possible.
The consortium insists the full name will be transferred over to Sevco 5088 in due course.
"The Rangers Football Club P.L.C.", which has the registered company number SC004276, has not yet been dissolved, but will inevitably be liquidated due to unpaid debts.
BBC Scotland can confirm that the company's liquidators, BDO, have not yet taken control of the company's affairs, and may not do so for some time.
Continue reading the main story
“Sevco 5088 would not be able to apply to change its name to The Rangers Football Club Ltd. until either the original company is fully dissolved, a process which can take about a year to complete, or the receivers give the go-ahead for the name change to take place”
Companies House spokesperson
Green's consortium confirmed to BBC Scotland that a purchase of the assets and intellectual property of The Rangers Football Club P.L.C. has been concluded with the administrators Duff & Phelps, which includes the company name.
The consortium insists the full name will be transferred in due course and that a name change is not currently an issue because liquidation of the old company has not yet commenced.
However, a Companies House spokesperson told BBC Scotland: "Sevco 5088 would not be able to apply to change its name to 'The Rangers Football Club Ltd' until either the original company is fully dissolved, a process which can take about a year to complete, or the receivers give the go-ahead for the name change to take place.
"From a regulations standpoint, once the receivers or the liquidators/administrators for the current PLC agree to a name change, Sevco 5088 could then apply to change its name to 'The Rangers Football Club Ltd'.
"If they apply without following this procedure, systems are in place to flag up names which are too similar."
Article 10.7 of the Scottish FA's Articles of Association states that the name of a club cannot be changed without board approval, while Article 74.2 states that a club's name cannot be changed to anything linked with sponsorship.
The Scottish Premier League has no specific regulations regarding the naming of clubs or their parent companies.
Green's newco continues to trade under the name Sevco 5088, which has the company number 08011390, meaning it was registered in England. The sole director listed on the Companies House website is Charles Alexander Green.
The 'Sevco' prefix is a generic company name, often used by organisations which register companies on someone else's behalf. Sevco names can be registered in bulk through Companies House and renamed at a later date as long as strict naming criteria are met.
Companies House is a government agency run by the department of business and enterprise and deals with the registration and incorporation of UK businesses. All documentation relating to limited companies, including information such as company names, directors, accounts and share allocations, must be processed through the agency.
The proposed name for the new Rangers company is 'The Rangers Football Club Ltd'. All UK companies limited by liability via shares or guarantee must end with 'Limited' or 'Ltd.' - only public companies traded on the stock exchange can end in PLC or P.L.C.
Shares in Rangers Football Club were suspended from the Plus Stock Exchange on 9 January.
Other companies currently registered at Companies House with similar names include: Rangers Limited, Rangers.co.uk Limited, The Rangers FC Group Limited, Rangers Football Club of Glasgow Ltd, Rangers GB Limited and Rangers (2012) Ltd.
