    I don't see how any individual or consortium can even contemplate buying them when they don't know exactly what they're buying, who'll be left to play for the team, what league they'll be playing in or even if they'll be allowed to play at all?!

    They don't even have a bank account ffs.

    It's like paying a pound for a lucky dip at the shows knowing damn well you'll probably end up with a penny chew!

    So, if I've got this right, the "no to newco" decision renders any future footballing punishment related to the EBTs/dual contracts redundant...i.e. the SPL share is not being transferred to SevCo...therefore SevCo can't be punished by SPL for crimes attached to a football share they do not hold. So if they join SFL they are free from EBT investigation?

    However, the SPL's Independent Commission should still sit to determine culpability and determine historic punishment, i.e. stripping of titles/honours they cheated their way to whilst an SPL club?

    Talking of things that should be stripped of titles, where the hell is Doncaster at the moment? Hiding under his Rangers duvet? He has got to be emptied at the end of all of this....

    We must now as individuals and as Clubs put pressure on the SFA not to bend their own rules and allow a club with no history or accounts to become members. Particularly in cases such as this where bona fide football club(s) and existing member(s) would suffer.

    A criminal investigation is to be launched into Craig Whyte's takeover of Rangers Football Club in May last year.

    The Crown Office asked Strathclyde Police to probe the purchase and the club's subsequent financial management.
    The investigation into alleged criminality follows a preliminary examination of information passed to police by administrators

    That would be perfect - they then would have no where to go / play!

    Who decides if it's a 11 team league or if Dundee get promoted ? (I still think it should be Dunfermline - even if JJ is there manager!)

    Going to be interesting to see who else applies for an SFL place from lower leagues.
    Surely the team without a fixture could play a friendly against Newco Disunited?
    Gives the Huns a game to watch and would be a good way for the SPL team to try out new players.

    To be fair, there's not a lot he can do at the moment. No vote has been taken, therefore no action can be taken.

    Only one problem. Newco aren't a football club, just a property portfolio.

    Sir David and Craigy boy better start running.
    My money would be on Craigy running faster than Sir David, still wouldn't put it past him to tighten up Sir Davids nuts just to make sure he has duped him before you know.

    On a serious note, here's hoping that there'll be a significant reduction in domestic abuse

    Shameful behaviour from the Kilmarnock board. I hope that all away fans will observe a boycott of Rugby Park.

    Here my theory

    Rangers newco as it exists won't get in the spl, green sells it, the next owners take a year to finalise the club, by that time the SFA put in plans for an SPL2 and at the beginning of next season they walk into that.

    @JimDelahunt: Defo no Gers SPL next season. Will they be in position to even apply for SFL? Increasingly likely year out minimum. Loads more to come out.

    Maybe thats why she is speaking to Martin Mcguiness this week, he might know a way to punish Murray.

    Could see that happening

    Don't want this saga going on throughout the whole season but think it will with all the legal proceedings.

    If they are out of football for a year and manage to get into an SPL 2 this time next year it's still a farce
