BEARGER

What is the minimum, do you know? If it's less than the Broomie capacity why can't we shove them in a corner?, that's what they do to Bears.

That should change, giving them the Broomie should be a thing of the past. Whatever the minimum numbers of tickets by the rules is what they should get.

From evening times.co.uk A COMPANY previously linked to former Rangers owner Craig Whyte has taken a claim for the whole of the £18 million creditors payout pot of the liquidated club plc to court, it has been confirmed. Law Financial Ltd has lodged a defence at the Court of Session over its claim that it is owed up to £25 million, saying it holds a security over the assets of Rangers oldco RFC 2012 plc. The Herald can reveal that new documents show that LFL has now taken control of the company that Mr Whyte used to buy the club from Sir David Murray for £1 in May 2011, and which held that security. The claim if successful, would make LFL the only secured creditor and first in line ahead of the taxman and ticket agency Ticketus and other unsecured debtors to take money from the pot. LFL had been given till Friday to lodge the answers to its claim, which oldco liquidators, accountancy firm BDO are to contest, believing LFL has no rights BDO is understood to have asked the court to dispense with the any potentially time consuming and potentially expensive future hearing to settle the issue and approve a deadline for a full claim to be submitted to the liquidators. BDO has previously indicated to creditors that if the claim is pursued it could hold up payouts for some time. An interim £10 million payout to unsecured creditors was due to have been made at the end of July to the tune of around seven pence, but that has had to be delayed because of the claim. LFL say they hold the security over the assets reassigned to the company run by Mr Whyte that paid off an £18m bank debt as a condition of his purchase of the club from Sir David Murray for £1 in May 2011. He raised the funds by organising a deal to sell off three years of future season ticket rights to Ticketus activated when he became owner. The security was originally set up in 1999 in favour of the Bank of Scotland in response to Rangers' ballooning debt figure, to secure a charge over its income and assets. Mr Whyte, who presided over the Rangers oldco's plunge into administration in February, 2012, always insisted that the company he used to buy the club, which subsequently became Rangers FC Group, had paid off the debt and inherited the bank's security over the Ibrox outfit's assets. Documents lodged with Companies House appear to confirm this. LFL is now owned by the Worthington Group, an investment firm also once connected to Mr Whyte and who in October last year said would continue to stake a legal claim over Rangers’ business and assets. But BDO are understood to agree with oldco administrators Duff and Phelps that LFL cannot have preferred creditor status, and any security is invalid as Mr Whyte did not use his own money to buy the club. Mr Whyte said his company had a legitimate claim over Rangers' assets, including Ibrox Stadium and Murray Park, because he had underwritten the London ticket agency Ticketus's investment through his offshore company Liberty Capital and was "on the line" for £27.5m in guarantees and cash. Ticketus have accepted they have no secured creditor claim and have been pursuing Mr Whyte through the courts for the money he borrowed from them. Mr Whyte has faced court hearings in London amid ongoing efforts by Ticketus to recover £18m damages from him after the agency successfully sued the venture capitalist for damages. Ticketus had said Mr Whyte fraudulently or negligently made representations which induced the company to enter into agreements related to the sale or purchase of Rangers season tickets. Mr Whyte had disputed the claim - but a judge had ruled against him. New documents have now emerged that show that Craig Whyte is no longer a director of Rangers FC Group, and LFL and Worthington Group chief executive Doug Ware are now the sole directors. But Whyte's company Liberty Corporate Ltd holds a fixed and floating charge over all RFCG property assets present and future. According to the latest return, the sole shareholder is Liberty Capital Limited, which is owned by Mr Whyte and registered to the British Virgin Islands. His father, Thomas Whyte, was the sole director of Liberty Corporate until January, 2014. A move to strike RFCG from the register of companies has been suspended. The company, formerly known as Wavetower, was supposed to have lodged its first set of accounts over three years ago. Mr Whyte was a founding director of Law Financial, which claimed to have former Rangers newco Sevco 5088 as a subsidiary, until he was barred from being a company director in the UK for 15 years in October, last year. In April, 2013, Worthington revealed it had been granted an option to acquire the whole of Law Financial Ltd which included Sevco 5088, which it said held a claim "independently reviewed by leading counsel...to all of the business and assets of RFC 2012 plc which were purchased by Sevco 5088 Limited or Sevco Scotland Ltd from the administrators... in June of 2012". If the option was exercised, it would also give a third of the proceeds of any assets, claims or rights currently owned by Mr Whyte’s companies - including the legal action and the film and book rights to his story – to him. BDO declined to comment on the case. Worthington were approached for comment.

There is no "labour law" that prevents both parties coming to an agreement to alter/amend an existing agreement as long as it's within the law.

We are talking peanuts in the grand scheme of things here. He has been paid 75% of his "entitlement" so far, now he's looking at a pay off for the remaining 25% (3 months). I do agree that every penny not going to him will be better spent.

Wonder who asked for the meeting? Also what is the point? Only three more cheques to be paid, why bother now?

Not really the same thing in my opinion. The Rangers Rally 2015 The Rangers Supporters Association is reviving the Rangers Rally! On 3rd October 2015 the Rally is back!

Wife and 3 daughters?

My son was in Row A of main stand Copland end, he told me there were Eintracht Frankfurt fans in enclosure.

What strikes me about the players Warburton has signed is that they all seem to be intelligent well mannered young men. Not in the corner boy mould of Black etc.

That's exactly my position. Also will not be back at Hampden, did not miss a Scotland game in 10 years, have given up my Scotland Supporters membership. Still hope the teams does well though.

Why stop there? We should not be giving a penny to those that stuck the knife in. That is my stand although I realise I'm in a very small minority.

RR moaning to the SFA about Ryan Hardie being available for Saturday From their website Compliance Officer Asked To Investigate Early Return of Rangers Player From International Duty Printer FriendlyShare on facebookShare on twitterShare on emailMore Sharing Services Thursday September 3rd 2015 Ahead of Saturday’s Ladbrokes Championship match versus Rangers at Ibrox, Raith Rovers FC has today asked the Scottish FA’s Compliance Officer to consider whether he agrees that Rangers FC, through David Weir, have breached SFA Articles and Rules by requesting and securing the early release of its player Ryan Hardie from international duty with Scotland Under 19s in Bulgaria, for the sole reason that he is then available to play against Raith Rovers. Raith Rovers FC also has an important player in the same Under 19 squad, 1st team regular Craig Wighton, and Craig remains in Bulgaria and available for selection for Friday evening’s national representative match. He will fly home with the rest of the squad on Saturday afternoon. We are delighted that Craig is receiving international recognition, and whilst we are without his services for the crucial match with Rangers, our loss is Scotland’s gain. Naturally we are concerned that if there is any breach of Article 82.1 and Rules 56 & 57, this would – in these circumstances – result in an unfairness in terms of players available for selection for Saturday’s match, which is to our disadvantage.

He is now pals again with the board or possibly a polis contact.

There is more on this to come, others will be interviewed/arrested by PS. Very long paper trail.

No ..........

Dearie me!

FF take on what has transpired, hope it's accurate. "BBC Scotland climb down in media struggle with Rangers BBC Scotland have accepted Rangers charges of bias which led to their chief football reporter Chris McLaughlin having his press credential withdrawn. In an extraordinary admission they have promised ‘to do better’ with regard to bias in future coverage of the club. In doing so they have fully accepted that club’s assertions regarding unbalanced coverage. The BBC have been brought to heel in a remarkably short period of time and the current Board and their advisors should be congratulated on such pursuing the media with such vigour. It’s a warning shot other media outlets peddling an anti-Rangers agenda would do well to note." The club issued a short statement here - http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/club-n...club-statement

We have or should I say had one of the best football anthems in Follow Follow. But over the years the words have been changed to include nonsense such as "Dundee, Hamilton" and "up the Falls, Derrys Walls" plus the tempo has been speeded up. When it's sung now it never gets to the end before everyone stops singing. Oh for the days when this great song was sung properly.

Why cannot some bears just accept that McCoist is no different from the many many footballers who kiss the shirt but at the end of the day are in it for the money.

http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/9958-ibrox-icon-joins-rydc-board RANGERS legend John Greig has joined the Rangers Youth Development Company Board. The Club’s former Captain, Manager, Director and the man voted Greatest Ever Ranger by fans has always been a huge supporter of the RYDC and today he has confirmed he will play an important role in their ongoing development. RYDC – independent from Rangers and originally established as the Rangers Development Fund in 1964 with the sole purpose of providing funds for the Club – has raised more than £120 million to date. Since 2002 all profits have been directed to the Club’s youth programme with more than £5.5 million going to the youth department in the last decade. Ibrox icon John Greig commented: “I am delighted to join the Board of the Rangers Youth Development Company. Since 1964 they have backed Rangers Football Club in a variety of ways and it is my pleasure to assist them in any way I can. “Fans always play Rangers Lotto, buy Stadium Bricks or purchase Rising Stars tickets and Scratchcards and it is terrific that all profits raised from these products go directly to the youth programme. “RYDC will continue to grow and it my pleasure to assist by joining their Board. I have always had a strong relationship with them and I applaud Colin Stewart (RYDC Director of Operations) and his team for their sterling work. “They help with the development of young players so I am delighted to lend my support.” A number of past and current youth players like Danny Wilson, Charlie Adam, Alan Hutton, Tom Walsh, Ryan Hardie and Chris Burke have directly benefited from RYDC support. They rebranded at a media conference attended by current manager Mark Warburton, Youth Academy Head Craig Mulholland and young midfielder Andy Murdoch at Murray Park last month. Young star Tom Walsh hosted a Twitter Q&A with supporters and first team forward Dean Shiels also promoted RYDC’s goals in recent weeks. There is a full programme of activity planned in the weeks and months ahead and Colin Stewart, the Rangers Youth Development Company Director of Operations, has paid tribute to John Greig for joining him on the Board. He said: “John Greig is a man of great integrity and honour, his contribution to Rangers Football Club was immense as a player, manager and director and we are thrilled to have him on our Board. “He is one of the greatest names in Scottish football history and he has always been a firm supporter of RYDC so we look forward to working with him closely. “We have received tremendous support from the new Rangers Board and Craig Mulholland and his team at the youth department but the supporters are also key to our success and I thank them for their continued backing.” Fans can support the Rangers Youth Development Company in a number of ways – full details on Rangers Lotto, Rising Stars, Scratchcards, Stadium Bricks and other initiatives can be found at http://www.rangerslotto.co.uk.
