andy steel 0 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Sensible enough move, buys him kudos with his fans who are - and this is quite a coincidence - just about to renew their season books. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Rd 0 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Full Statement: Stephen Thompson doubts Rangers newco's SPL chances Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson believes Scottish Premier League clubs would not vote a Rangers 'newco' into the league as things stand. Prospective Rangers owner Charles Green may relaunch the club as a new company. "It wouldn't be just a simple yes or no vote, they'd have to negotiate their way back in again," said Thompson. "That might not be easy for them." Meanwhile, Thompson revealed he is in talks with manager Peter Houston's agent about a new deal. Continue reading the main story “Most fans of other clubs outside Rangers are fed up with the whole scenario” Stephen Thompson Dundee United chairman Rangers currently await the outcome of a company voluntary arrangement proposal which will dictate whether the club can continue in its present form. Should the CVA be rejected by creditors, it is likely Green would attempt to transfer the club's assets to a newco, including Rangers' share in the SPL. The decision over whether the newco could replace the existing Rangers in the league would be taken by the other 11 member clubs. As well as financial problems, Rangers have been fighting footballing sanctions handed out by the Scottish FA and succesfully overturned a 12-month transfer embargo at the Court of Session, with the governing body told to consider issuing a different punishment. "I'd have my doubts whether they'd get sufficient votes to get back in," said Thompson. "There's been a lack of remorse shown. Views have hardened. "Taking things to a court of law hasn't helped. That's certainly hardened views of people within the game. "Next week the CVA will be decided. Next week will be the turning point and we'll see where it goes from there." Thompson has received "emails and letters in the hundreds" from fans opposed to a Rangers newco being admitted to the SPL and the chairman suspects the issue is already having an effect on season ticket sales. "One or two are holding back, I've no doubt about that and that effects what I'm capable of doing with regard to bringing players in," he said. "It's not just people who are 15, 16-years-old on message boards, I'm talking about people writing in who have been season ticket holders for 30 or 40 years with very, very strong feelings. "It's damaging for the game. Most fans of other clubs outside Rangers are fed up with the whole scenario. Houston has been in charge at Tannadice since succeeding Craig Levein in 2009 "All we really want is clarity so that we can all move on." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuznetsov 0 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 His club are on the verge of financial meltdown, of course he needs the money our fans bring his club every season. He is trying to be clever and possibly play mind games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
