Rangers newco: Plans for club to enter Scottish Division One

Are you talking about the fans bringing a class action on the SFA and SPL?

Paul67 is missing the point, without Rangers to block the vote the Gang of 10 can do what they like to Celtic. They are not doing this to save Rangers, they're doing it because they want the money Rangers bring. If this plan doesn't succeed, they will they will have even more reason to "exploit" Celtic. Celtic supporters wanted us destroyed, they were too stupid to realise their own club would be collateral damage.

 

Ofcourse he is missing the point , he's one of them, dont they always miss the point.

 

Myopic mhanks, blinded by a deep hatered born out of jealousy and political prejudice

Gang of 10 changes will destroy Celtic

Posted on 28 June, 2012 by Paul67 The BBC today report that the Gang of 10 SPL clubs have agreed a plan to re-write the rulebook of Scottish football in order to parachute Sevco into the second tier of Scottish football. They also report that Hibernian, Rod Petrie, briefed Charles Green of Sevco of their conditions to accept his plan. These conditions involve paying Rangers football debts and fines.

 

The plan involved the most almighty reorganisation of the league structure in order to gain enough support from lower league clubs to entice them to agree to place Sevco in the First Division. They also want to take YOUR money in perpetuity to buy votes from lower league clubs, and have included a provision to allow them to vote for a share of home gates – all to establish a club called ‘Rangers’.

 

Crucially, the SFA, led by president Campbell Ogilvie and chief exec, Stewart Regan, have colluded in this scheme by not instructing the Appellate Panel to convene to consider Rangers punishment after the Court of Sessions told them to do so 30 days ago. It is expected the Appellate Panel will suspend ‘Rangers’ from football for a year when it convenes.

 

The Gang of 10’s plan would require Rangers to withdraw their objection to the initial Appellate Panel ruling but it would also require the independent judicial overview of Scottish football to end before action is taken against the club for illegally registering players for over a decade, or for improper use of EBTs to scape social taxes, both of which are likely to expel the club.

 

Disciplinary rules cannot be changed because ‘Rangers’ are about to be punished. Leagues cannot be restructured to allow a team bearing the name ‘Rangers’ an easy passage to the top. This is no longer sport.

 

The utter stupidity of this scheme is staggering. They are making plans with a man who owns a stadium but who cannot call on any supporters. They are about to wreck Scottish football for a company who have yet to establish their financial viability.

 

Your money is being bargained away by every club in the SPL apart from Celtic. Are you happy about this? Will you continue to pay for Sky TV or ESPN? Will you continue to buy tickets to attend away games? Will you ever attend a League Cup or Scottish Cup game again?

 

Celtic paid their bills and conducted their business fairly and properly. Be under no illusion, these changes will destroy the Celtic you recognise. Forget your Champions League trips, you’ll be scraping the bottom of the barrel with ‘Sevco Rangers’ in a few years. We cannot be exploited in this way.

 

It’s time the entire edifice of Scottish football was brought asunder, better than than be subject to random acts of destruction. I cannot support any operation funding this enterprise so I’m cancelling Sky Sports and ESPN.

 

Probably the only time I've enjoyed what that c*&t has written.

No such thing as class action in Scots Law.

tell that to the spl and sfa Paul.

I understand that a class action is a feature of the American legal system. My post was merely to ask what options may be available to us supporters to counter possible demands from the SFA that they are not entitled to demand, as I said just saying.

The only option is for an individual to go forward with a test case and if that succeeds other claims would then be settled.

 

It would be preferable if class actions could be raised in Scotland and perhaps one day they will.

Yes, i just enjoyed a conversation with a Celtic supporting colleague who is seething at this report. Eventually you reap what you sow.

But that report specifically states that we will only be allowed to join the SFA - not SPL or SFL, but the SFA - if we give up a right we're entitled to under both the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights.

 

It may seem ridiculous to bring those agreements into this context, but they were hard won with buckets of blood - you might say humanity was up to its knees in tyrants' blood - and to insist on the abrogation of those rights in order to allow membership of a club is just not on. In short, they are not allowed by law to insist on this aspect of the deal. Now, Rangers might say it's a price worth paying. But it makes me very nervous indeed.

 

This would obviously need to be clarified but I expect it means to drop the legal challenge and the transfer embargo will disappear. It would be preposterous under the circumstances and events have overtaken it.

[Blue Moon 1,122]

Thing is, I can see why some Div 1 clubs would be pisse off at us coming in although the introduction of playoffs and the fact we're rebuilding from scratch might soften the blow a bit.

 

I'd still rather see us entering Div 3 and to be honest, I can't see any clubs there objecting as it would mean an injection of cash for all those teams which could set some of them up for years to come.

 

I cannot agree with you. If it is in our interests I am all for it, so long as it is seen as in everyone's interests and not designed to show favouritism.
