Generic Sevco / Rangers meltdown thread

[greenginger]

So by this Friday they have to call the meeting, or say why the request is invalid, or do a deal somewhere to get voting support.


Don't know how I want this one to play out.

Ashley has undoubtedly got the cash to keep them afloat but the people won't come out and support his team.

King and the three bears would get the people behind them , but would they put the money in, and how long before they start fighting each other and forcing each other off the board.

The boy Streete has already played for 2 clubs this season, Toon and Port Vale. He can register with a third club but will be unable to play for them I think. Same situation with Ben Arfa..........

Certainly seems so, at least according to this website has him playing for Port Vale and Newcastle under 21s. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/remie...r/198587/plus/

That could be quite amusing....

He hasn't played an official match for Newcastle though.

Oops, just read the article, looks like Under 21 games count.

[Hibee87]

Presmably fifa get some sort of paperwork today on players signed last night, this could be funny haha

[Future17]

I'd prefer him to play for them in a few games before they were rumbled!

Personally, I can't see how they can play him, but It is the Rangers, so it depends on how much attention FIFA pay to it. I'm sure the SFA would do their usual.

On another note, how overjoyed does he look at the prospect of playing for sevco.


Remie Streete says he’s confident his loan move to Rangers won’t be scuppered by strict FIFA transfer rules.

The Ibrox club signed Streete on deadline day along with Magpies team-mates Gael Bigirimana, Shane Ferguson, Kevin Mbabu, Remie Streete and Haris Vuckic.

Rangers hope that all five can help Kenny McDowall’s team win promotion to the Premiership but fears were raised Streete’s playing history could rule him out of first team action at Ibrox.

FIFA rules on the transfer of players allow an individual to be registered at three clubs in the space of one season but only to play for two.

Generally, “playing” for a club is considered to apply to first team competitive fixtures. However, recent FIFA rulings suggest that the world governing body considers Under-21 games in England to count in the same way.

Streete has played two games on loan at Port Vale this season but has also made appearances for Newcastle United’s Under-21 side. If the youth games were not counted as full fixtures, Rangers would field be able to field Streete. The Ibrox club would be the third club he was registered with and the second he played for, as the rules permit.

However, if Newcastle Under-21 games are classed as full fixtures by FIFA, Rangers would be able to sign Streete but not play him. He would be registered for three clubs but already have played for two (Port Vale and Newcastle Under-21s).

Scottish FA protocols state only first team games count but FIFA have ruled on this on at least two occasions in the last month, including the case of Hatem Ben Arfa.

Ben Arfa, like Streete, played for Newcastle’s Under-21 side this season and was also on loan at Hull.

He agreed a move from Newcastle to Nice but was told on his arrival at the French club that he could not play for a third club this season.

However Streete doesn’t believe he will suffer the same fate, adding: “It’s all signed from my end.

"I think different federations in different countries have different rules. I know France stopped that one [Ben Arfa] but from what I’ve read on the internet and been told from my agent the Scottish FA have allowed me to make the transfer. So hopefully it should be fine."

In another example, Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah played for the club’s Under-21 side and also for Burnley on loan. A proposed January move to Bordeaux collapsed when it was ruled that he had already played for two clubs. Chalobah is now on loan at reading, but only because the English FA handles domestic loans in a different way from international moves.

FIFA declined to comment on specific transfers when contacted by STV on Tuesday

What a shower. Ashley and his band are really apologies for human beings. The unacceptable face of capitalism. No football club not even Rangers deserve to be associated with the likes of Ashley.

Dave King, John Gilligan, Paul Murray & Richard Gough convene in Glasgow for a media conference on #Rangers

DK: Very confident of victory at EGM. Believe enough votes have been secured.

DK: Vision is to see a Rangers we recognise. Competing with Celtic, performing in Europe. Gap needs to be addressed. ()

DK: During course of litigation both myself and SARS were criticised. Final outcome is that SARS agreed no fraud and settlement reached.

DK: Present Nomad not fit and proper. Other Nomads have already cleared DK involvement. Believes he can satisfy SFA too.

DK: Current board should resign. Nomad suggested compromise with existing board being added to. That was rejected. No contact with board.

DK: Very surprised if Whyte still involved. Less so Green.

DK: 'The choice of manager is going to be a very important decision.'

DK: No individual should be in control of Rangers. Fans need to be long term significant investors. DK happy to contribute 50%.

DK: Investment needed not only on football side but maintenance, infrastructure.

Looked this up to see if it was an acronym and the interwebs came up "None Of My Actions Detected". Very appropriate in the context of the Murray / Whyte / Green skulduggery.

The Telegraph says that the SFA are satisfied that the The Rangers loan signings comply with FIFA regulations. They will also be attempting to add a sixth player, free agent, later this week.

Don't get this at all, the liquidation of the now defunct Glasgow rangers resulted in many people being denied any monies due to them at all, not to mention the criminality that went on along the way. I have consistently believed that Ashley is ideal for them as he is a far bigger shark than they have ever dealt with/bullied/ignored before - as they are now finding out.

Ashley isn't actually breaking any laws along the way - interesting comparison with the track record of the rest of the cast in this particular pantomime. Would I want him anywhere near Hibs - not a chance.

Stick with it Mike, only a few assets to sweep up now.

Inevitable they would interpret in the best possible way again - them pesky rules keep getting in the way.

i was really hopin they were not going sign anyone. I still see them a danger in the play offs, anything can happen in 2 games of football no matter what's happened earlier the season.

According to the The Hun next door The Rangers are paying all their wages. He suspects it is to make The Rangers more indebt to Ashley and hurry through his plans, whatever they may be. Wouldn't surprise me if he charged them a fee as well.

[Jim44]

What's the likely outcome, if Dave King is successful in ousting the board at their General meeting in a few weeks time? What are the implications for Ashley, his financial loans and his loanee players?
