I'm sure sectarianism, although it wasn't on the balance sheet, was transferred to the Newco.

Asset or liability Bob?

Both no doubt.

Well, I am involved with an SFL Club in my spare time and we have definitely had discussions along the same lines as Rod's "Sporting integrity is beyond purchase"...

We, the SFL Club - not Hibs, cold make a decent sum if we get two games against Newco, which could be very helpful...changes the landscape over the next few seasons, but it's not the correct thing to do.

We have been told to gear up for an EGM in five days time to push through a vote to allow Newco entry into SFL 1, in return for some compensation. No chance...!

Many other SFL Clubs will think the same and if 8 of the 29 reject Newco to both SFL 1 and 3 then there will be a beauty parade with the likes of Spartans and Cove Rangers.

Certainly, as a Director of a Football Club, I am more concerned about the possibility of Newco still having no financial guarantees and possible administration. I would rather have someone like Spartans who will pay their way honestly.

I doubt Newco will be in Scottish football next season at all...

does he completely overlook the main point- the huge debt and not paying their tax?!

[Jim44]

Prolific and eloquant critic of the Rangers debacle and the succulent lamb syndrome of Weegie journalism, has apparently shot himself in the foot by Twittering a reference to the video of the 'walking away' John Greig/Ibrox disaster statue which has been doing the rounds (it's on this thread somewhere). He tried to apologise saying he was unaware of the significance of the statue but evidence has been found in the form of letters/emails/tweets which indicate that he knew full well what the statue represented. Pity, as his work on the Rangers saga. has been revealing and refreshing.

sadly not.

even if this choob had a point, which he doesn't, I love how he completely forgets to mention that the cute wee teddy bears he luvs so much have been fielding players for over ten years with money due to the tax man. What a fanny!!

Nothing since may 2011 happened, aye you wish

[Hibernia Na Eir]

with 1st Div clubs already coming out this early and saying no to New Hun Company then it would appear they have little chance of gaining entry to that league. And there's no way they could go to div 2 as that would look a complete sham. HAS to be Div 3!

Very reassuring, hope other SFL clubs do the same

Maybe a question that has been answered somewhere, but how do these TUPE regulations relate to the contracts that are under investigation by the SPL/SFA/SFL?

If a player agrees to transfer over, does the newco fall into a catch 22 by possibly having a contract to honour that coul be found to be ileagal very shortly?

I would assume the oldco would still be honouring these players second contracts no?

[Lungo--Drom]

You mention Cove Rangers. If you take the name Sevco 5088 and swap letter for the numbers...
Sevco SOBB and put it all in an anagram machine the ONLY possible anagram is...
Bob's Coves. But who is Bob? :D

Have to be accepted into SFL 3. Not guaranteed that SFL Clubs will vote for that. I can see that getting rejected as well.

Haha this is hilarious!

Rangers will have owed HMRC nothing and there would have been no need to place them in administration. And without that period of administration, Rangers would not now be in the process of being liquidated. And as sure as night follows day, that means there would be no NewCo. It is so logical it would be laughable were others not be able to grasp its logic.

I'm not sure how I could fail to follow the logic!

[Winston Ingram]

I keep on hearing now that this would be a decent 'compromise'.

Do courts 'compromise' with convicted rapists?

This stinks of the SPL chairman driving this. They say they have 'listened' to the fans but they are clearly lying if this is what their up to

No I think the second contracts are the EBTs, which have surely been consigned to the bucket or bonfire. The contracts which are subject to TUPE are the straightforward contracts which pay the average Rangers players £25k a week.

Raith Rovers and Falkirk have both made statements opposing league reconstruction that would place newHuns in the First Division.
